At the outbreak of war, in 1914, volunteers had to be 19 to sign-up. Once the soldiers had signed-up and trained, they had to be 19 to fight overseas.

Of course, many men lied about their age because they were desperate to fight for their King and country. Some boys as young as 14 ended up on the front line.
