In Florida when a serviceman entered the military in World War I, there is an entry card in the Florida State Archives and they are accessible. This card gives the service number and other pertinent data about the person. They are separated by branch of service, and separated by enlisted and officers. I have used these cards quite often but the only downside to these is that they are on microfilm and must be read in the archives. Alvie L.
