2229,Division of Archives and Records Service,World War I draft board registers,i 1917-1918.,Alphabetical by county name.,"On May 18\, 1917 the President signed the Selective Service Law which authorized registration of men between the ages of 18 and 46 for potential service. A system of district and local boards was created to register\, select\, examine\, and induct men into service. These are photocopies of the registration records of local boards collected by the Military Records Section as part of their duties as a repository for information about Utah veterans. A county might have more than one local board. The forms include registration lists giving the individual's name\, number\, and address\, and sometimes race. There are also forms showing induction into service which give various identification numbers\, name\, occupation\, classification\, date\,,name of camp to which the man was being sent\, and a place to check if he failed to report. Finally there are forms to show the name and date the man reported to the mobilization camp and if he was accepted or rejected there. All the counties include registration forms\, and most the induction forms\, but few contain the mobilization ones. Finished copies were mailed to the Provost Marshal General Office in Washington\, D.C.",,Public,3 microfilm reels
