In most countries one had to be 18 or older in order to fight. WW1 was fought from 1914-18, so someone who fought for a few months in 1918 would have been born in 1900 (or earlier). Obviously, some men lied about their age but it does mean that veterans are now well over 100, and there are very few still alive.
