Lost!
Draft lists not open to women seeking their husbands
Wives looking for long-lost husbands – in order to get allowances from them if they have entered service – are out of luck.
So far as the government is concerned, there is no lost-and-found agency for such persons. Furthermore, National Selective Service headquarters says its draft lists are not available, either, for such purposes.
Persons who have lost contact with relatives in the service may track them down through the nearest Red Cross chapter, provided they can supply the man’s full name and his last-known station.
Relatives of men overseas may obtain the correct mailing address from the Adjutant General. Was Department, Washington, DC, but the man’s station will not be disclosed for military reasons.
Similar service is presumably accorded by the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Navy Department, Washington, DC; Commandant, U.S. Marine Corps, Washington, DC, and Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, Washington, DC, for its own men.
