<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 442292, member: 1476"]A quick internet search, tells us: The draft began in Fall 1940. The U.S. Army built Camp Edwards between September 1940 and January 1941. And we know that the U.S. entered the war in December 1941. Given that, I would think your uncle was an early draftee in the period when the U.S. military was still mobilizing but hadn't entered the war. It wasn't until Pearl Harbor that there was wide-spread and enthusiastic enlistment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
