Jerker, mycket intressant historia! Men en kommentar: du skriver i sammanfattningen på din hemsida att bröderna registrerar sig 1914 för första världskriget - det är 1917 i alla fall John gör det, precis som du noterar ovan, USA går med i kriget först då (6 april 1917).
John är med i första omgången av mönstringar, citat från Ancestry: Registration The World War I draft consisted of three separate registrations. First Registration. The registration on 5 June 1917, was for men aged twenty-one to thirty-one-men born between 6 June 1886 and 5 June 1896. Second Registration. The registration on 5 June 1918, was for men who had turned twenty-one years of age since the previous registration-men born between 6 June 1896 and 5 June 1897. Men who had not previously registered and were not already in the military also registered. In addition, a supplemental registration on 24 August 1918, was for men who turned twenty-one years of age since 5 June 1918. Third Registration. The registration on 12 Sept 1918, was for men aged eighteen to twenty-one and thirty-one to forty-five-men born between 11 Sept 1872 and 12 Sept 1900.
Mönstringen i sig innebar inte att de kallades in till krigstjänstgöring, men det har han ju tydligen varit eftersom han skeppades hem 1919 enligt din information.
