The median age of Korean War veterans is estimated to be 69 years, with an estimated 336,500 under age 65, 3.25 million aged 65 to 74, and an estimated 363,600 aged 75 or older. So about 17-24 is about the average age.

Your answer did not answer the question.  Read the question, comprehend it and then answer it.  I restate the question for you.  What was the average age of a soldier IN the Korean war not the age of the veteran form it.

17 is the most common age for 20th century "youngest" men in war. According to the subtitle of a well known photograph, which has been published in many books concerning the Spanish-American War of 1898, there is a 13 or 14 year old US Sailor on the US battleship USS Oregon observing (the sailor's intensely observing, while other sailors are amongst him on deck) his shells impacting the Spanish warships during the Spanish American War of 1898. A 16 year old British Sailor was posthumously awarded Britain's highest award while manning his anti-aircraft gun when his warship was attacked by enemy planes during WWII. Normally, during the Korean & Vietnam Wars, if any men were 17 or so, they were transferred to Europe, where it was safer.

What was the average age of US Civil War soldiers?

The ages varied greatly in the Civil War. There wasn't a law saying how old you had to be to fight. But most soldiers were just teenagers! Often there jobs were to be drummers, the job of the drummers were important, because they told when to retreat or change a battle plan. They did this because there wasn't any technology for soldiers to communicate easily.
