Yes, according to the 07 July 1987 article For Iran's child soldiers, capture by the Iraqis is a mixed blessing:

SHIRZAD lasted about 24 hours on the battlefield. He'd been sent out ahead of his countrymen - a 12-year-old boy ordered to be a human minesweeper, setting off mines by poking them or jumping on them so that the adult soldiers behind him could advance safely.

During his one day of war, Shirzad saw boys around him being blown up. He was blinded in one eye by a mine shard and captured by Iraqi troops.

"I didn't have any arms to fight," he recalls. "So I surrendered."
