Title: BBC Bitesize Resource 'Underaged World War One soldier Cyril Jose'

Description: A description of the experiences of an underaged soldier in the First World War. Cyril Jose joined the Devonshire Regiment even thought he was only 15 years old. Extracts from his letters describe his experiences in the trenches and the impact of the 1916 Somme offensive. After the offensive came to a halt, Cyril and other underage boys were sent to a special camp until they were old enough to fight again. When he reached the age of 19, Cyril was sent back to France where he participated in the final campaign against the Germans. After the war, Cyril returned home a changed man, maintaining a suspicion of authority figures for the rest of his life.
