A TELEVISION production company is looking for veterans, or immediate relatives of veterans, who served as underage soldiers during the First World War.

Many thousands of boys served in the forces aged as young as 14 and 15.

Their memories would be used in a Channel 4 documentary telling the story of the boy soldiers and sailors, for the first time.

The director, Steve Humphries, said he was also keen to find any relatives of the boy soldiers and sailors, younger sisters or brothers, who recall them going off to war and the effect their service had on the rest of the family.

He is also looking for any documents, letters, memoirs or photographs of boy soldiers and sailors, to help illustrate the programme.
