Grandad: The politicians and the military men used to con, you see. They had little lads, youngsters believing that their country really did need them! D'you know, they used to have little lads of 14 pretending they was 18 just so they could fight for their king and country.
Del: What, and they accepted the little sprogs?
Grandad: More often than not...My brother George lied about his age.
Rodney: Pretended he was 18?
Grandad: No, he was 18, he pretended he was 14, they saw through it though. I think it was the moustache.
