This one is born c 1815 - he would have been too old

Alex Moes Check again, the issue you refer to seems to have been 'fixed'.

Age *is* low if he was in a combat role, but what if he was perhaps a drummer boy or orderly ? Some of those were as young as 7-8 years old. Need more info.

re age -
"The youngest known soldier of World War I was Momčilo Gavrić, who joined the 6th Artillery Division of the Serbian Army at the age of 8, after Austro-Hungarian troops in August 1914 killed his parents, grandmother, and seven of his siblings."
