'''Draft Registration Cards'''


United States. Selective Service System. ''Indiana, World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917–1918''. National Archives Microfilm Publications, M1509. Washington, DC: National Archives, 1987-1988. (On 115 Family History Library films, beginning with {{FHL|378717|title-id|disp=1439777.)}} To find an individual’s registration card, it helps to know his name and residence at the time of registration.
