does anybody know what a person would need to have on their person when showing up at a recruitment center to enlist in WWII? I have heard of cases where people as young as 16 enlisting and was wondering how easy that would have been.

Elmwood Cemetery (Goldsboro, NC)
In 1874, the City of Goldsboro purchased 2 1/3 acres of land from E.E. Faircloth, W.R. Parker and J.E. Peterson for $200. The purchased land was the former burial plot of local plantation owner General James Rhodes and was to be used as an African American cemetery. Adjacent to Waynesborough Historical Village, Elmwood Cemetery is home to the grave of Marine Pfc. Dan Bullock. Bullock is believed to be the youngest serviceman killed in action in Vietnam. Elmwood Cemetery is located on Hwy 117 South.
