hi! I have to pick a character from the world war I time period and write in a journal telling whats happening in the war and how it affects me everyday for school. In my journal, my characters husband is drafted to go off and fight. I was wondering if any of you knew how that happened, like if there was a letter sent home saying he needed to go fight or what. thanks!

In World War 1 most of the soldiers were volunteers. All the men in a village , for example, would volunteer together, or all the men in a particular factory. "Pals Battalions" were formed. In England "draft" was called conscription - U were sent "call up" papers, requiring U to join up, but I'm not sure that happened in WW1.Hope this helps.
