WW1 casualties

[Lisajb]

Are there any online searchable lists of WW1 casualties from the USA?

Not as far as I know but there are WWI service records compiled for several states [Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina and Texas] at FamilySearch:

If you know where they were from.

New York originally. My man looks to have enlisted in Chenango - there’s a registration report dated Sept 1918 (that’s pushing it a bit for WW1 service).

He appears in the 1915 NY census, then apart from the enlistment, I can find no further trace of either him or his wife.

He is George Woodman, middle name Walter according to registration report, born 1875 in New York, and wife May (or Mae), maiden name Woodworth, born 1884.

Not a casualty, but in 1920 there is a George W Woodman aged 44 widower, born New York, living in Clover Hill, Appomattox, Virginia, occupation Carpenter

ADDED - or maybe not, although Mae's birth is 1863?

Hi Jomot, yes I did find that one, and wrote it off due to Mae’s age...

The date for George’s death on the stone seems to be incomplete, damaged, knocked off - where did you find 1920, and the findagrave entry has the death date as unknown?

[Jomot]

The 1920 can be viewed via Familysearch

I also found the headstone puzzling, but perhaps worth investigating further if only to rule it out.

If that Mae died in 1948 she should appear on 1930/1940 census - I can’t find her! 

I find US records such a struggle, the country is so big, and so many places!

The draft registration card that you saw was not an enlistment - all men of a certain age were required to complete them.  It doesn't necessarily indicate that they ever served in the military.  There are links to lists of NY casualties from WWI here - https://www.militaryindexes.com/worldwarone/index.html - but I didn't see your guy in any of them.

The nearest relative listed on his draft registration card appears to be his mother.  To me, that sounds like his wife was probably deceased by then.
