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. George Washington Bidewell filled out a draft card on 12 September 1918 at RR 3, Advance, Bollinger County, Missouri, USA. He was employed as a farmer. He was described as medium height and medium build, with grey eyes and brown hair. Jane Elizabeth Crites was listed as his nearest relative.2
