Recruitment register of young men for military service
Description:
This file is a military draft register with entries for all males in Fălticeni born in the year 1917, including several Jews. Names are listed in approximate alphabetical order. Name, nationality, religion, and profession are listed, along with information on physical features (color of hair and eyes, etc.) date and place of birth, address of residence, basic information on educational background, some information on the parents (age, address, occupation, names), reference to entries in civil records. The final columns list the date of the individual's military inspection and whether or not they were admitted into the military, as well as to what division they were assigned. Some accompanying minutes offer a summary of the procedure and overall statistics regarding how many youths were drafted, how many deemed unfit, and how many “left behind” for other types of military or civil service.
Such draft or military recruitment registers appear to have been common in interwar Romania; during this survey (2013), similar registers turned up in several other localities, including in Rădăuți.
