A Hall County man was among the first to be drafted for military service during World War I. Thomas Arthur Moore had been assigned the number, 258, in the brand-new Selective Service System. Some others in the 1 million-plus pool of potential draftees had the same number, but it meant that Moore would be among the first of more than 10,000 draftees in the country. Moore and six other Hall County draftees left Sept. 7, 1917, for Camp Gordon to begin training.
