Military: 200 Grant Men Subject to WWI Draft Call, 1917, Grant Parish Submitted to USGENWEB by: Peggy C.

From this list the 99 men that constitute the quota for Grant parish are to be selected. The names and numbers given are not official, but they have been carefully checked over and compared with the numbers published in the papers, and in the main we think will be found correct. The war department finds it impossible to determine how great the number of exemptions will be, but they estimate that the physical rejections will be about 30 per cent. The other exemptions may bring the rejections up to 50 per cent. So it is quite likely 99 men will be secured in Grant parish without calling in any more men than the first 200 drawn.
