Suspending the Draft
Something not noted in the narrative was that the draft was actually suspended prior to Armistice due to the continuing ravages of the Spanish Influenza. Good laydown over all, but areas of interest could be the impact of the influenza on the US ability to send troops overseas, and the resultant cancellation of drafts that occurred only after the magnitude of the sick and dying came overcame Wilson's reluctance to deny Pershing more and more troops. John Barry's work "The Great Influenza" is a good source for this.

Cheers!
