Reply to comment by Disastrous-Purpose-8 in TIL : In World War II, the youngest serviceman in the US military was Calvin Graham — age 12. Graham lied about his age when he enlisted in the US Navy. His real age was not discovered after he was wounded. by PyrowithJared

And dead by 19. Having completed life he toured the country for a couple years while writing his memoir and retired at 21. He went on to officially die at 62.
