I am 80% sure that this is “Pop” who married my great-grandma and adopted my grandpa. He was a strong figure in my grandpa Phil’s life, a strong role model.

There’s not a date on this WWI draft card, but it was around 1916 or 1917. His name is written Bernard Horace Gilbert, living in Warwick, Kent, Rhode Island. He is 32 years old, his birthday being April 26, 1886. He is white, and a US citizen by adoption (the draft card doesnt say, but he was born in Canada). He is a self-employed doctor. His next of kin is his wife, Elizabeth J. Gilbert of Warwick. He is of medium height and build, has grey eyes and sandy hair.
