Henry Altenbernd

     Henry Altenbernd was born on 9 August 1876.¹
     The start of World War I caused the United States to institute a draft registration. As the war continued to drag on, they instituted their third and final draft registration. This added men who were between the ages of 18 and 21, and 31 to 45 years of age. It included younger men than the previous registrations, those who were born between September 12, 1897 and September 12, 1900; and added an older group of men, born between September 12, 1873 and September 12, 1888. Henry Altenbernd filled out a draft card on 12 September 1918 at 911 South 10th Street, St Louis, Independent City, Missouri, USA. He was employed as a poultry assessor at Union Poultry Company. He was described as medium height and medium build, with gray eyes and gray hair.¹
