Title

WWI Draft Registration Card - Walter R. Nelson

Description

This World War I draft registration card belongs to Walter Nelson, age 36. The card specifies Walter's home address, date of birth, race, citizenship, occupation, and family members (specifically his wife, Elizabeth). On the backside of the card, Walter describes himself as having tall height and medium build, with grey eyes and brown hair. It appears that while he filled out this form, Walter did not serve in the first world war.
