Youngest Qur Soldier Michel Bourdain Returns Home
Michel Bourdain, fourteen, was the youngest soldier in the United States Army. He lived on a Maine-et-Loire farm with his parents. When the Fifty-second ammunition train billeted there he learned English and became a civilian employee with a uniform and 250 francs a month. He saved, helped his parents open a Bordeaux store, and was attached to the Fifty-fourth coast artillery. One associate, BE. H. Murphy of New York, formally adopted him and he later came to the United States. His interpreter duties with the A E F have ended and he is on half pay.
