My uncle was a sixteen year old sergeant when his mother found out.

I also.saw,.if you might possibly be able to elaborate at all, i, for my lart, would certainly be most interested...did she have him sent home? Was he allowed to stay in? So if he retain rank? did he have a full career,.on the order of 20 yrs? Obviously, if you can't go into it, I of course understand, I just have an historical interest in such things, so far as you might be able to explain anymore, many thanks....
