Can anyone read this please? COMPLETED THANK YOU.

It's from a draft card and I can't make it out.

Thanks,

Bev.

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO REPLIED - I WASN'T NOTIFIED BY ROOTSCHAT, SO I MISSED A FEW, BUT HAVE READ THEM ALL NOW. THANK YOU EVERYONE.

Can you post a larger version or say which part of the card it is from?

As a wild guess, it may be referring to a disability and say something like:
?ear turned ? device for bad feet

Thanks,

It's for William Ambrose Reese in 1917 and it's from the part that says "Do you claim exemption from draft (specify grounds)?

If I try to enlarge it, it just becomes even less clear, sorry.

Bev.

It might start "Was turned down ......"

JAP
PS: perhaps "Was turned down twice for bad feet"

[bevbee]

Ooooh yes, that looks good - not sure about "down", but I think the rest seems right.

Thanks a lot,

Bev.

I agree, JAP,  that's what it looks like to me also.  "Was turned down (t?) for bad feet"
