During World War I, soldiers' ages varied widely, but many were teenagers or in their early twenties. The minimum age for enlistment in several countries was typically around 18, although some underage individuals lied about their age to join. It was not uncommon for boys as young as 16 to serve, while older soldiers, including those in their thirties and forties, also participated. The war saw a significant number of young men, with many being drafted or volunteering at a young age.
17 to 39 with 26 the average age
8,ooon soilders fought in the war and im only 10 years old
In World War Two it was not socially acceptable for women to fight, so no women were soldiers.
Ages varied between 15-70. Even if you were a young child or an old man, you would still be in the army.
Who cares about that now?? It's OLD news!! I wish we didn't have to learn about it in school

There may be one or two, but their age would have to be 110 years old , or more, to even have fought as soldiers in 1918, when the war was ending.

African American soldiers were taken off buses with their uniforms on,beaten and many were killed. They fought a two front war: Racism in the military and the old Jim Crow Laws in America. Sad to say but they were treated as second class citizens after fighting for our Country.
No; there are still a very few old soldiers from World War 1 who are still alive. Addition: See this link and you will actually get their names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_veterans_of_World_War_I
