United States, World War I Draft Registrations, 1917-1918

36.223.147 gegevens

This collection contains Draft registration cards of men (aged 18 to 45) in the United States enrolled in the Selective Service System in 1917 and 1918. Each registrant filled in a double-sided card with his name, current residence address, date of birth, place of birth, age, marital status, race, occupation, employer, citizenship status, and next of kin.<br><br>The initial Selective Service Act required all men aged 21 to 30 to register. In August 1918, Congress amended the law to expand the age range to include all men aged 18 to 45. Three specific registrations were conducted: June 5, 1917. All men between the ages of 21 and 31. June 5, 1918. Those who had turned 21 after June 5, 1917, and a supplemental registration held on August 24, 1918, for those who turned 21 years old after June 5, 1918. September 12, 1918. All men aged 18 through 45 not previously enrolled.<br><br>By the end of the First World War, 2 million men had volunteered for military service and 2.8 million other men had been drafted. A draft registration does not imply that the individual ended up being drafted or that he didn’t volunteer separately. The handwriting on the card is normally that of a registration board worker or “registrar”. However, almost all cards contain the signature or “mark” in the handwriting of the registrant himself.
