The WWI draft registration applied to men born from 1873 to 1900. The first registration was for men aged 21 to 31 on 5 June 1917. The second (5 June 1918) was for me who turned 21 after 5 June 1917. The third and final registration was for all men aged 18 to 21 and 31 to 45 on 18 September 1918. > -----Original Message----- > From: Joanne/erictem [mailto:erictem@earthlink.net] > Sent: Sunday, December 12, 1999 1:39 PM > To: ILMACOUP-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [ILMACOUP-L] WW I Draft Registration > > > Hello All! > > What were the age requirements for manditory draft > registration for WWI? > > I'm looking for a person born in 1866.
