TRUTH !!
Willie Johnston was 11 years old when he and his father volunteered for the
Union Army.
William H. Johnston (born July 1850), from St. Johnsbury, Vermont, was a
drummer boy in Company D of the 3rd Vermont Infantry. His service during the
Seven Days Battles in the Peninsula Campaign was exemplary. He was the only
drummer in his division to come away with his instrument, during a general
rout. His superiors considered this a meritorious feat, when fellow soldiers
had thrown away their guns. As a result, he received the Medal of Honor on
the recommendation of his division commander, thereby becoming the youngest
recipient of the highest decoration at 13 years of age .
