For those of you who can get Channel 5 in the UK, on Thursday 3rd July they are showing 'Child Soldiers of World War 2'.

This is a shameless plug for a documentary which is based on my book 'Blitz Kids'.

It tells the story of British teenagers who joined the military by giving false ages. It includes a boy who managed to get into the army aged just 14, but was thrown out twice when his true age was discovered.

I hope you enjoy it!

Wish I could watch this, all the way over here in the Antipodes. But it looks fascinating. And congratulations with the book. It sounds like a fascinating and under-researched subject.

Cheers, maybe you can find it via the internet?

(Regarding the World Cup: at least the USA team did themselves proud!)
