Hi everyone, has anyone got the ages of some of the officers at the battle of the little bighorn.
I need the age of six on the time of the bighorn battle please;
Maj. Reno Capt. Benteen Capt. Weir
Capt. French
Capt. Moylan
Capt. McDougall
I am trying to work out a reference thread for the senior officers on the day, to which we can revert to for information when needed. It is nothing major, just their age and experience thats all.

I had to look up Custer's age (37) because Benteen seemed so much older. I guess it's that premature grey hair.

Beth. was he 36 or 37 at the battle, I know a year does not make a hill of beans difference. Even less for 6 months, I will have to look up.
Regards,
Tom
