Abstract:
The medical examiners at U.S. Army mobilization camps during World War I classified draftees into four groups: Group A included men in whom no disqualifying defect or disease was found; Group B included men with remediable defects/diseases, who would qualify for general military service once those problems were addressed; Group C included men with diseases or defects that precluded general military service, but who might serve in limited or special capacities; and Group D included draftees rejected on physical grounds for any military service. Group Vg in this study indicated men who had been rejected by local draft boards and were not sent on to mobilization camps. This table, part of a discussion of the defects and diseases found in Group C (special or limited service), showed how the various defects and diseases were distributed among the groups.
