    Hi can anyone tell me please between which age ranges were soldiers and officers recruited during the Napoleonic war?

    Thanks

    12 years old rings a bell for boy drummers but I've a nagging feeling they could have been younger. 16 for officers but do you know that officers generally purchased their commissions?

    What was the upper age limit and at what age were they considered to old to join? I'm just trying to work out if a forbare of mine was within the age range.
