Local Draft Board WWI Inductions, 1918
Scope and Contents
Correspondence and telegrams between the Provost Marshall of Colorado and the Local Board for Jefferson County regarding allotments, calls for volunteers, induction lists, instructions and train schedules for movement of men to various military training camps during World War I. Induction lists include serviceman's name, order and serial numbers, home address, and name of camp entrained to during the war. These lists are not records of the men who registered in Jefferson County for the WWI draft, nor are they lists of every man from the county who served in WWI. They are only lists of the men that Jefferson County was responsible for sending to US military camps as part of Colorado's federally-mandated quota for men to provide for federal military service.
