### Robert Lee Garrett — World War II Draft Registration (1942) Robert Lee Garrett was born on August 21, 1902, in Arkansas, possibly in the town of Delaplaine. On February 16, 1942, at the age of 39, he registered for the World War II draft in Greene County, Arkansas. At the time, Robert resided in Delaplaine, Greene County, Arkansas, and listed the same location as his mailing address. His employer was recorded as **W. H. Sneed**, with his place of employment also listed as Delaplaine, Arkansas. Robert identified **Eula Garrett** as the person who would always know his address. His physical description provides an additional glimpse into his appearance at age 39. He was a white male, approximately **5 feet 8 inches tall**, weighing **138 pounds**, with blue eyes, brown hair, and a light complexion. No distinguishing physical characteristics were reported. Robert signed his registration card, which was processed through the Greene County Local Board in Paragould, Arkansas. **Registration Details** - **Full Name:** Robert Lee Garrett - **Date of Birth:** August 21, 1902 - **Birthplace:** Arkansas (town appears to read Delaplaine; verify) - **Age:** 39 - **Residence:** Delaplaine, Greene County, Arkansas - **Registration Date:** February 16, 1942 - **Local Draft Board:** Greene County, Paragould, Arkansas - **Serial Number:** T-511 - **Order Number:** T-10310 - **Employer:** W. H. Sneed - **Person Who Would Know His Address:** Eula Garrett **Physical Description** - **Height:** 5 feet 8 inches - **Weight:** 138 pounds - **Eye Color:** Blue - **Hair Color:** Brown - **Complexion:** Light - **Distinguishing Marks:** None reported **Research Notes:** The registration establishes Robert's residence, employment, physical appearance, and a connection to Eula Garrett as of February 16, 1942. Eula's relationship to Robert is not specified on the card. The record confirms draft registration but does not establish that Robert served in the military. **Source:** United States, World War II Selective Service Registration Cards, Third Registration, February 16, 1942. Greene County Local Board, Paragould, Arkansas. Original registration card, front and reverse.
