A reappearance of the old IV-A, this time for men deferred by reason of age. From Nov 18 1942 to Oct 5 1944, men 45 and older were classified in Class IV-A. From Jan 1 1943, men 38 to 44 years old were classified in Class IV-H. The latter class was eliminated on Mar 6 1943 with the introduction of the "(H)" identifier.
On April 27, 1942, the fourth registration was held nationwide, which encompassed men from the ages of 45 to 64 (i.e., born between April 27, 1877, and February 16, 1897), earning it the nickname of "The Old Man's Draft." Unlike the earlier registrations, its purpose was indirect; the individuals were not actually liable for military service.
The World War II draft operated from 1940 until 1946 when further inductions were suspended, and its legislative authorization expired without further extension by Congress in 1947. During this time, more than 10 million men had been inducted into military service. [39] However, the Selective Service System remained intact.
