There is no answer to that question as there were thousands of soldiers in WW1 but don't know how many in trenches. Plus it depends if you ment British soldiers or soldiers as a generally.

In the US, 45 years of age was the cut-off for drafting and enlisting. Of course, when national guard and reserve units were activated, many soldiers were over that age and stayed with their units. The average age for the US fighting man in WW2 was 26, as opposed to 21 in WW1 and 19 in Vietnam.
