My advice is "forget everything you know about Shirley's age from RoI". We tried to calculate his birth year multiple times and we figured out he was born in 1897 (according to info from Anne of Ingleside) on April 6 (that's from Rilla of Ingleside). His age in the whole Rilla of Ingleside is just WRONG. He was 20 when he enlisted, not 18.
