Tom Brokaw's book "The Greatest Generation" was about the American men who served in WW2. The typical age of the soldier was 19 or so. That means he was born about 1920.
Some soldiers, such as officers, were older so they would have been born before 1917. The older Generals were born prior to 1900.
