Soldier Ages - Mythical Company Musters Out

Our mythical company of 100 originally enlisted for 3 months and then re-upped for 3 more years.

Now the time to muster out and return to homes and occupations has at last arrived.

Through more then 3 years of warfare, with discharge, disablement, disease, desertion and death thinning the ranks, the 100 soldiers count only 35.

Their ages at the last muster are :

age              number
18 or under    1
19                 2
20                 8
21                 4
22-24           12
