Draft Registration Cards, 1917 - 1918

1917-1918

https://catalog.archives.gov/id/572850

This series consists of forms used to register men in the United States in the three draft registrations held during World War I. A different registration form was used for each of the three registrations: "Form 1 (black)" for the first; "Form 1 (blue)" for the second; and, "Form 1 (red)" for the third. The three forms, which differed only slightly, contain a series of questions answered by the registrant or the local board registrar. The information provided may include the registrant's name; address; age and date of birth; race; citizenship status; occupation and employer; claim of exemption by reason of dependency or occupation; name and address of nearest relative; a physical description of the registrant; the registrant's mark or signature; the registrar's signed report of any apparent disabilities of the registrant; the name, address, and coded serial number of the local board at which the registration occurred; and the registrant's order number and "red ink" or serial number.
