I'm sure he was a great soldier. I hope he really did good things for his country. However, I don't think he is in any way the youngest soldier ever, unfortunately. There are child soldiers even today in many countries in the world. You can check this Wikipedia article:
. It says that some people in Bolivia have been forcibly conscripted as young as 14 years old. In Africa, many militants groups kill parents and force the children to be soldiers. I know this happened in Cambodia too. Many children were much younger there.
