Military Monday: WWII, Old Man’s Draft, Texas
February 28th, 2011
Records of the Selective Service System, 1940–47 (Record Group 147) include the fourth draft registration. The “Old Man” or fourth registration was created by the Act of 1940 and included men born between April 1877 and February 1897. The fourth registration took place in 1942.
The Selective Service System turned the records over to respective National Archives regional facilities but with mixed signals—these are a permanent annexation or these are not a permanent collection. Consequently at least one regional facility—NARA-Southeast— destroyed the records. From the author’s personal experience the Old Man WW II draft cards are available at the regional archives in Texas and Seattle. Other regions have have microfilmed their collections
