As the Second World War was raging, Robert Piper wanted to fight for his country but there was just one problem - he was three years too young.

Undeterred, young Mr Piper, now a Légion d'honneur recipient, deceived a recruitment officer into believing he was 18 and joined up – at the age of just 15.

With a touch of humour, the veteran jokingly remarks: "I'm 98 really, but I am 101 in the Army."
