Does anyone know the age limits required for registration for the draft in WWI? Kay

During World War I, there were three registrations. The first was on June 5, 1917, registering men between the ages of 21 and 31. The second was on June 5, 1918, registering men who had turned 21 since June 5, 1917 (A supplemental registration on Aug. 24, 1918, registered those becoming 21 since June 5, 1918.). The third registration was held on September 12, 1918, and registered men 18 through 45. So, all men born between 1872 and September 1900 who were not in active military service by June 1917 filled out draft registration cards, whether they were native born, naturalized, or alien --- On Thu, 4/5/12, Kay Brearton <[email protected]> wrote: From: Kay Brearton <[email protected]> Subject: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] WWI Draft Registration To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, April 5, 2012, 1:07 PM Does anyone know the age limits required for registration for the draft in WWI?

Kay During World War I there were three registrations, each with a different span of years.
