The Ages of the "boys" at Fort Amanda
The following are names of Ft. Amanda veterans who I've compiled short bios of. I wanted to see what the average age of the men was so I compiled the following list. This does not include men at Jennings, Wapakoneta or Defiance. Turns out the average of the Ft. Amanda soldiers e I have bios for is 28 years old. I then deducted the men who were 35 or older and it dropped the average age of the soldiers to 22.
