My grandfather; born 1860, joined up at 16, served in Afghanistan and SA, retired early 1900's and volunteered at the age of 54 in 1914

Apparently he wanted to fight but they wouldn't let him; died at age of 75 kickstarting his motorbike, having fathered my Father at the age of 70...

They made them tough then.
