Great. Happy to help you out.
Actually the average age is more like 84. The hard part is that an artillery unit such as this had far fewer numbers than let's say a division or even a combat engineer regiment. A battery was roughly equivalent to an infantry company, so as you can see, a lot less men.
Keep us posted and thanks again for becoming a member. We hope to hear from you a lot in the near future. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We have a top-notch group who are very knowledgable.
