Thousands of under-age Tommies threw their lives away in WWI singing this:

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile
While you've a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile boys, that's the style.
What's the use of worrying?
It never did a thing worthwhile, so
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile...

Would Prince William have been expected to "take the King's shilling"?

Before Uncle Sam wanted YOU, there was Lord Kitchener. I wonder what people
thought after Kitchener himself was killed in 1916...

The YouTube "Great War" series is comprehensive, interesting, and informative.

Agree! Especially if they add Barbara Tuchman's "Proud Tower" and "The
Guns of August" to the reading list.
