main page SOME OF THOSE WHO ENLISTED:
AMERICAN DRAFT REGISTRATIONS IN WW1
Most World War I military records for the US Army and Air Force were burned in a fire at The National Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, Missouri, in 1973 which is why there are no records easily available to search.
Because volunteer enlistment into the US Army was modest, draft registration was called for and as a result of this approximately 24 million civilian men born between 1872 and 1900 provided information for draft registration cards. However, more than 80% of these received exemptions or deferrals and were never called for military service, and those already in the military were naturally not included in the draft. So these cannot be used to provide a list of those who served in World War One.
The sole list I've found for these draft registration card is Rootsweb's Civilian Draft Registration Database, and this contains the details of all the registrants from only about 15% of U.S. counties. It contains 119 names of RIGGS (the 126 entries include 7 entries providing extra information for names already listed) and I've extracted their details and listed them in the following table:
