Private John Condon, No.6322, was the youngest Allied soldier to be killed in action in World War I. He was born in Waterford city in 1901, the son of John and Mary Condon of no.2, Teapot Lane . John turned up at the recruiting office in Waterford on October 24th, 1913 where he gave his age as 18 years, although he was only 13 years old. He had taken the identity of his older, dead, brother who was also named John. He took the oath and signed up to the Army Reserve for six years service. In March 1915 John found himself in Belgium, just in time for the second battle of Ypres where, on May 24th, he was killed in action at Bellevarde Ridge - that day when a strange greenish mist crept across from the enemy position, to attack the eyes and throat and burn out the lungs.  He was fourteen years of age - the youngest Allied soldier to be killed in the war. He is buried at Poelcappelle Cemetery, Langermark. His grave has become the most visited grave in that huge cemetery with hundreds of visitors . RIP
