Is this him in WW1 drafts? Do you have a second name for him?



Name: Egbert Kesley Thompson
City: Yonkers
County: Westchester
State: New York
Birth Date: 5 Feb 1873
Race: White
Roll: 1819401
DraftBoard: 3
Age:

and

Name: Frank Leroy Thompson
City: Yonkers
County: Westchester
State: New York
Birth Date: 20 Nov 1883
Race: White
Roll: 1819401
DraftBoard: 3

Its a poor image, looks like a Shipping Clerk, wife given just as Mrs Frank Leroy. And Frank seems to have brown hair and brown eyes.
