John Lincoln Clem (August 13, 1851 - May 13, 1937), was a United States Army general who had served as a drummer boy in the Union Army in the American Civil War. He gained fame for his bravery on the battlefield, becoming the youngest noncommissioned officer in Army history. He retired from the Army in 1916, having attained the rank of major general and being the last veteran of the Civil War still on duty in the Armed Forces. Legen has it that he was a drummer boy at the Battle of Shiloh where he was knocked unconcious by an artillery shell. Thus he got the name "Johnny Shiloh". Disney made a movie about "his story" with the same name.

The Youngest surviving soldier at the end of the US Civil War was Andrew 'Jackson' Botts. He was the 13 years old. Known as the 'Little Drummer Boy,' he joined the Civil war when he was 12 1/2 years old. There were other soldiers who were as young as or younger when they joined, but Andrew Jackson Botts was the only 13 year old soldier at the end of the war.
I believe that in both armies soldiers had to be 17 years old but that requirement was often evaded. I think that musicians and drummer boys could be as young as 12, I'm much less certain of that though. Michael Montagne According to the illustrious history, Gone with the Wind, (please note sarcasm) the official age of a drummer boy in the south was fourteen, though apparently, boys often lied in order to participate in the war. At the outset of the war, northern troops were required to be over the age of 18. However, there were loopholes. One,the position of cabin boy or 'powder monkey' allowed boys to join the navy at twelve. Also, drummer boys and fifes were a popular position in the army for the downy cheeked. Note the famous nine year-old runaway drummer boy of Shiloh (from Ohio), who stayed in the army - to become Major General years and years later. Think his name was Johnny Clem or something. Answer Generally one as an actual soldier and combatant one was suspose to be at least 18 years of age. This was a given standard on both sides. Non-combatants such as musicians, buglers etc, were given some leeway down to about 14 years old at least. In the early period of the war many did get in as young as 13 or so in the ranks. In May of 1862 the Confederate armies were reorganized.. and those under 18 or over 35 were basicly sent home... At this early time of the war the Southern ranks were well filled. Later when they begain to thin and conscription was enacted, the age range was extended to between 17-45.. Those younger or older (exempt from draft/conscription) could still serve in the local home guards or state militias..
The US regulations at the time said that each company (100 men) would have two musicians. Typically one was a fifer and one was a drummer. This means that for every regiment (10 companies), there should be a total of 20 musicians, about 50:50 between fifers and drummers, and one Drum Major who led the field music.
Being called the "drummer boy at Shiloh" typically refers to a young drummer boy who participated in the Battle of Shiloh during the American Civil War. It signifies the bravery and contribution of young soldiers who served in the war, often in non-combat roles such as drumming to signal orders and maintain morale among troops. The term highlights the sacrifices and courage of young individuals who played an important role in historical conflicts.
