How old is Ned when he wants to enlist in the military?

Third, some underage boys were able to enlist with the endorsement of an adult. Ned Hutter, sixteen years old, joined the Confederate Army in Mississippi. His father vouched for Ned's work ethic and shooting ability. The recruiter then accepted Ned into the unit.

hope it helps.

have a great day/night.

that's conceptually impossible.

if i wrote it, it wouldn't be a 'shakespeare' sonnet.
