I am looking for military info for William L. Hoffman who was born January 20, 1900 in New Jersey and is said to have served two different "stints". One in World War I. I cannot find a WWI draft registration record for him. Since he was not 18 until January 20, 1918, would he not have been "drafted" and thus not included in the Draft Registration data bases? And would those who volunteered, rather than being drafted, be found in some other database or source? His second "stint" is known to include the date of Aug 27, 1928 when he wrote a letter from Co. A 30th Inf., Fort Barry, California. Does anyone know of other sources I can check for this person? Thanks for any help or suggestions. Rich Lowe
Just checking if my response went to the list. I got a response on the turntable's location.
