We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the series titled Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 in the Records of the Selective Service System (World War I) (Record Group 163) however a search of the series did not locate any cards relating to Eastman J. Moody. If they did serve in WWI, we invite you to please contact the National Archives at Atlanta (RRFA) via email at atlanta.archives@nara.gov for more information relating to these records.
Some U.S. World War II Draft Cards Young Men, 1940-1947 are digitized and available online from Ancestry.com. You may access Ancestry from any of our National Archives research facility locations free of charge. If you are unable to visit a National Archives research facility, we also suggest that you check with your local library as many library systems subscribe to these sites, making them free for their patrons. We conducted a search for Eastman J. Moody and received results for two individuals who have the name E. J. Moody and one individual who has the name Eastman Joseph Moody.
Selective Service records for individuals who registered after World War I and were born before 1960 are in the custody of the National Archives at St. Louis (RRPO). There are two types of records: cards and classification histories. The individual Draft Registration Card (SSS Form 1) may contain information such as: name, Selective Service registration number, age, date and place of birth, ethnicity, place of residence at time of registration and basic physical description. The Classification History (SSS Form 102) may contain: name; date of birth; classification and date of mailing notice; date of appeal to the board; date and results of armed forces physical examination; entry into active duty or civilian work in lieu of induction (may include date, branch of service entered and mode of entry, such as enlisted or ordered); date of separation from active duty or civilian work; and general remarks. Please complete a Form NA-13172 to request a search of these records and email it to RRPO at stl.archives@nara.gov.
For men who registered for the draft before 1976, all other individual draftee files besides the cards and classification histories were destroyed by the Selective Service System in 1978, in accordance with approved records retention schedules. Physical examination and test results, medical letters, laboratory work, and other medical documentation that may have been included in these files no longer exist.
