     The U.S. officially entered World War II on 8 December 1941 following an attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

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. Delmar filled out a draft card for World War II on 16 October 1940 (at age 27), while living at 449 West Webster Ave., Chicago, Cook, Illinois. He was working for Augustana Hospital, Chicago. He had blue eyes, and brown hair.6

     Delmar married Marie Viola Gåsell, daughter of Joseph Gosell and Elin Maria Berggren, on 1 May 1945, at Cook, Illinois.7
