When Boris was 15, he joined the army with some of his friends. They thought they were going on an adventure. Their captain was not much older than Boris. He ordered them to shoot to kill, but it was difficult to kill fellow countrymen. Boris was shot twice, but it was typhus that nearly killed him.
