After the U.S. entered WWII a new selective service act required that all men between ages 18 and 65 register for the draft. Between November 1940 and October 1946, over 10 million American men were registered. The Fourth Registration, often referred to as the "old man's registration", was conducted on 27 April 1942 and registered men who born on or between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897 - men who were between 45 and 64 years old - and who were not already in the military. Russell filled out a draft card for World War II on 25 April 1942 (at age 46), while living at West 315 Section Street, Mt. Vernon, Skagit, Washington. He was listed as working for the U.
