What’s Your Military Number as Drafts Diversify
The article explains June 5 registrations shifting to new numbers 1 to 1926 issued by local boards. Men can learn their new number and the draw number, with capsule mixing for the draw. If the first draw yields 25, the 25 group answers as 25-1, about 4,500 men, and future draws use 1,000 as the second number, producing 1,000-2. Exemptions may adjust totals, with Clermont’s quota estimated at 180 minus O N G and recent enlistees. The Romoher brothers from Edenton, jailed for disorderly conduct at Newtonnville, were released after Blanchester’s O N G captain arrived to take them into camp.
