It took place at both sides of the river somme in frace.

This one was one of the largest and bloodiest battles in

world war 1.

1000000 men were wounded or killed.

Why?

It was because he felt nationalism and he want to fight to

his country and to be part of the fight.

But as a result of his age, his mother told officials that he

was too young to fight and should be sent back.

How?

Stories about the child fighting on the frontline were

printed in papers at the time, but they were never

corrborated until now

His life was so different in comparation with ours because

pricipally he became a soldier at the age of 12 and in our

case we aren´t soldiers and there are too many people

that can fight for us.

His life was so difficult becaus he being fightin all the time

and our life is studying, playing and doing sport instead of

fighting all the time

His life was so difficult because being fighting at all time,

and ours is just studying or playing sports instead of

fighting for our country

I think no,we although have nationalism but now we

doesn`t have to fight any more, is unneccesary.

conclution

Sidney lewis was very brave and he represent the

nationalism. Life at that time was very different, now a

moder never leave her 1 years old son fought in a war.
