Four British soldiers – including a teenage member of the Queen’s Guard – are feared to have gone AWOL to fight against Russian troops in Ukraine.

The 19-year-old Coldstream Guardsman, whose identity has been withheld for security reasons, reportedly wrote a goodbye letter to his parents and booked a one-way ticket to Poland over the weekend with the aim of crossing the border.

It has caused panic at the Ministry of Defence, with security chiefs urgently trying to intercept the teenager amid fears Vladimir Putin may try and claim Britain has entered the war if he is captured. Three other British soldiers are believed to have similarly gone absent without leave to fight, it has been reported

A source close to the teenager told The Sun he left his base at Windsor barracks and went to sign up for Ukraine’s International Legion of foreign volunteer fighters. He has since posted a photo of his boots on Snapchat, according to the newspaper.

1. Yikes. They'll find him in Poland and send him home, I bet.

2. Let's hope. If he makes it to Ukraine, I doubt he makes it home.

What a horrible situation for they’re families.

3. ...

"security chiefs urgently trying to intercept the teenager amid fears Vladimir Putin may try and claim Britain has entered the war if he is captured."

The bed-wetting is just ridiculous.

4. +1, ... the only thing Putrid has is nukes. The 'mystic' of Russia's army is coming off day by day

... cause even the well trained, experienced and well equipped RU troops in the south and east aren't have a 2 day war they were supposed to have.

5. Putin has troops there illegally as well.
