More Korean War era draft cards

 

Fold3. US Korean War era draft card. 1948.

At the beginning of the month, I wrote about the new collection of US Korean War era draft registration cards available on Fold3. When the database launched, registration cards from 10 states were available. Ancestry and Fold3 have now added 10 more states to the set. Above is a card for Allison's paternal grandfather, James Ross Havens. In 1948 he was a student at Evansville College (now the University of Evansville), and was a Navy veteran of World War II.

The draft registration card for Allison's maternal grandfather is also above, showing he was working as a postal carrier in Evansville in 1948. Like James, Fritz was a veteran of World War II and served in the US Army.
