Dobrý deň
podarilo sa mi náhodou dostať k tejto snímke. Ide o môjho predka, ktorý v máji 1913 odišiel do USA. Mysleli sme si, že do vojny sa nezapojil a prečkal ju za mlákou. Ale potom sa mi dostalo pod oči tento odkaz. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... 3AK6J5-BKJ

Vie mi niekto povedať, o čo ide? Je to nejaký draftovací príkaz, povolávak? Súdiac podľa toho dokumentu je možné, že sa teda nejak nepriamo dopracoval aj k vojenskej službe, niekde v Pensylvánii v zálohe? Mám na mysli to, že či sa dostal na front alebo bol len v zálohe.

Ďakujem.

Dobrý den, jestli to není jen nějaká registrace do losování

Who had to register for the draft in WWI?
By the guidelines set down by the Selective Service Act, all males aged 21 to 30 were required to register to potentially be selected for military service. At the request of the War Department, Congress amended the law in August 1918 to expand the age range to include all men 18 to 45, and to bar further volunteering.

What are draft registration cards?
The registration cards consist of approximately 24,000,000 cards of men who registered for the draft, (about 23% of the population in 1918). It is important to note that not all of the men who registered for the draft actually served in the military and not all men who served in the military registered for the draft.15. 7. 2019
