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.
