    I thought it was 44, and I’m seeing examples of that happening back during WW2, such as Pvt. William S. Frederick, Sr.

    Along the dusty road to Camp Gruber, forty-four-year-old Pvt. William S. Frederick, Sr., encountered his own son, twenty-year-old Pvt. William S. Frederick, Jr. Both were taxicab drivers from Olean, New York; neither had dependents; and both had been snapped up by their local draft board.
