 | I'm afraid he is a boy - soldier of a Parasol (Umbrella) battalion of the Home Army, one of the many units recruited from elder or former boy and girl scouts. Have a look at another picture taken a few moments later and some real girls. [source: http://www.pw44.pl/]

 | Just found this statue whilst looking for that clematis "Monte Cassino". Thought I'd post this photo on this thread as it seems relevant.  "Little Upriser" commemorating children that fought against Germans in Warsaw Uprising in 1944, Warsaw, Poland [edit larger image here>> Monument To The "Little Upriser" photo - Jola Dziubinska photos at pbase.com and here>>> Gareth 's Site - Warsaw, Poland ] 'Dzieci Warszawy' - Warsaw Children. Named in commemoration of the young participants of the Warsaw Uprising (August 1st - October 3rd 1944) and of the conspiracy movement in Warsaw during the World War II. These adolescents acted as liaisons, as well as took part in sabotage actions and direct fights for the freedom of Warsaw and Poland.
