  Military Service	1 OCT 1918	New York City, New York, New York, USA
  WWI On 01 October, 1918, less than three weeks after he registered for the draft, Louis entered Company C, Student Army Training Center (SATC) at NYU. He was paid $30/ month while he participated in the established curriculum. Although the details of his specific area of concentration are not known, a Marshall S. Brown document in the NYU archives indicated the draftees were provided 42 hours/week of essential and allied subjects while also performing military drill for 11 hours/week. Essential courses included military law, hygiene and sanitation, surveying, map making, modern ordinance, and a war-issues course. At the end of their studies [between one and three terms, depending on age] the students were assigned to officer or non-commissioned officer training programs, a depot brigade, or permitted further study in engineering, medicine or law. That first term of SATC officer training had been underway for less than 6 weeks when the Armistice was signed in Paris. Deliberations about the status of the SATC continued until 26 November when a telephone call from the AGO (Adjutant Generals Office) stipulated that the program would be deactivated on 19 December. Thus on the specified date, Louis and countless other privates were issued their final pay. Louis received $42.60 in cash which included his November pay of $30, a pro-rated December pay of $19 and a quartermaster deduction of $6.40 which may have been for an item of equipment, clothing or perhaps text books. Following active military service of almost 12 weeks, Louis was a WWI veteran and once again a civilian.

  	Carr, Louis Drury: 1947 family photo The family picture was probably taken at West Point judging from the date, the landscape, and what appear to be stone walls in left rear. It includes from left to right: Louis, son William, daughter Alice and his wife Mary Martin. It is possible that William is making faces at his brother, John, who was a cadet at the Academy and was probably taking the picture.

  	Carr, Louis Drury: 1918 WWI Draft Louis Drury Carr registered for the WWI draft as a 19-year on the same day two of his brothers also registered. He listed his occupation as a clerk with American Railway Express on Allison Street, Paterson. His residence was with his father William S. Carr at 370 van Houten St, Paterson, Passaic, NJ. There were three drafts during WWI: 1) 5 June 1917 for all men aged 21 to 31 2) 5 June 1918 for men who reached age 21 since the previous draft 2a) supplemental for all men who reached age 21 since June 5th. 3) 12 September 1918 for all men 18 to 21 and 31 to 45.

  	Carr, Louis Drury: 1918 ASTC-P6 Louis enlisted in the NYU Army Student Training Corps (ASTC) on 01 October 1918 and was honorably discharged on December 19. Many WWI records were destroyed in the 12 July 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. In the following years the veteran's records would be reconstituted using auxiliary records - Louis's records were reconstituted using the NYU payroll records. He is one of 16 privates on the linked payroll. He was recorded receiving #42.60 in pay for the period to include $6.40 for a Quartermaster allotment - possibly for the return of unused books, equpment or clothing. The story of the shortlived SATC is worth researching - its duration was not much longer than the period of Louis's enlistment.
  	Carr, Louis Drury: 1918 ASTC-P1 This is the cover page of the Army Student Training Corps payroll packet used to reconstruct Louis Carr's WWI military service. The NYU SATC unit eventually enrolled 1,288 men at the University Heights campus. The New York University Archives provided this discription of the SATC: "Inducted as privates in the regular army and subject to military discipline, the student-soldiers lived in barracks, ate at mess and were accorded a monthly allowance of $30, in addition to having their tuition paid. They were to receive a total of 42 hours of "essential" and "allied" subjects while also performing military drill for 11 hours per week. Essential courses included "military law and practice," "hygiene and sanitation," "surveying and map making," "modern ordinance," and the "war issues" course. At the end of their studies [between one and three terms, depending on age] the students were assigned to officer or non-commissioned officer training programs, a depot brigade, or permitted further study in engineering, medicine, or law. The Armistice interrupted the work of the SATC shortly after it began. After some debate over whether or not it should be continued, the SATC was demobilized on December 19, 1918. Within six months, the work of demobilization and fulfilling contracts between the government and the schools was completed."
  	Carr, Louis Drury: 2012 Service Records Request Grandson Regis requested copies of his grandfather's service records. Louis' records were reconstructed from secondary sources since the original files were destroyed along with millions of other WWI service records in the 1973 fire in St. Louis.

  Histories

  Carr, Louis Drury: 2012 Educator and Grand Knight Initially this biography, based simply upon memories, was a single page long and thus proved to be a great disappointment to say the least - surely more could be learned with a modicum of effort! After researching his WWI service - which proved to be an education in itself - many other details fell into place. As with the other histories on this website - all veterans - I am indebted to family members for their contributions - the errors are all mine and will be corrected when brought to my attention.
