The information below was abstracted by Raymond H. Banks from civilian registration cards completed in 1917-1918. All rights reserved.
Some men do not have birth locations listed because they registered on the final draft registration day in 1918 when this information was not recorded. Almost 24 million men registered for the draft.
The compiler has not abstracted the registrant’s address the name and address of next of kin, occupation, work address, general physical description and occasionally listed general description of a disability. Please consult the original card to verify all information.
