The minimum enlistment age then, as it is today, was 17, and parental permission is required. Quite a few noted sailors and Marines lied about their age and actually enlisted at 16, since records were harder to come by then.

The age limit for enlistments into the British Navy has varied over time, but generally, during the 18th and 19th centuries, young men could enlist from the age of 12 to 15, with parental consent. By the early 20th century, the minimum age for voluntary enlistment was raised to 18.

However, during times of war, there were instances of younger individuals enlisting with or without parental consent.
