Wrong "Child Soldiers" Picture for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Acosta_%C3%91u
The picture you added does not correspond to this article. It was taken during the One Thousand Days War (1899-1902) in Colombia, so it's 40 years and 5000 kilometers out of place. Check the same picture from the One Thousand Days War article: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thousand_Days_War.jpg

Google 'ninos soldados guerra mil dias" and you will get at least 6 copies of the same picture too!

 * interesting, where I found that pic it was labeled as from the Paraguayan war and there are multiple other places that say the same. Is there a definitive source, to be sure? Max Semenik (talk) 12:00, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * There you go: L'llustration (French Magazine) Paris July 19th 1902. https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=ucbk.ark:/28722/h2361h;view=1up;seq=50
 * Thanks! I'll see whether they on Commons will delete it. Max Semenik (talk) 18:42, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
