Bradley County World War I Draft Registrations. There were three different forms used in 1917-1918, but basically they give the following information: Serial Number; Name; Address; Age; Date of Birth; Race; Occupation; Nearest relative; Height; Build; Color of eyes; Color of hair; Disability; Name of registrar; Date.

You will need to expand your browser fully for the best viewing of this page. This is a work in progress. More names will be added as we have time to work on this project. If you have copies of WWI Draft Registration information that you would like to share on this page, please send to dlogan@alaska.net. You can follow one of the formats below, depending on which form your ancestor or relative completed.

If you have a picture of the document, we can post it as well. Scan and email a .jpg file to Barbara at the email address above. Links to pictures will be on the names.
