Albert Elling's World War II Draft Registration

Seven draft registrations took place during World War II.
Most have not been released for research because of privacy reasons, but the mandatory draft of April 27, 1942 - the "Old Man's Draft" for men aged 45 - 64 - is available...and there we find Albert Elling.

Grandpa Elling, then 54 years old and the father of seven children had to go register for the draft, even though these men were not to be liable for military service. His middle name is misspelled by the typist, but again we have his distinctive signature.
