Belgian Boy Scouts carried messages which were too private to trust to telegrams or ordinary messengers. during the early stages of the first world war. Some were sent to France to gather the harvest whilst the men went off to the war. Belgian Boy Scouts, were issued with pistols, as their work brought the close to the front lines. One Boy Scout became famous at the beginning of the war following the captured of two German spies dressed as priest near Liege. After this the boy, Joseph Louis Leyssen seen in photograph, was allowed to help on the front line, and more than once rode with important messages right through the German lines.
He is seen here after being decorated following his fifth engagement with the enemy. September 1914
