Biography

Philip Caplovitz was from New Haven, Connecticut. Philip Caplovitz was a conscientious objector imprisoned during World War I at Fort Leavenworth and the Fort Douglas War Prison Barracks; his discharge papers are dated April 17, 1920.

The compilation records an initial twenty-five-year term reduced to 1.5 years, meaning one and a half years. This decimal term is an imposed sentence and is distinct from physical confinement and his discharge papers.

Anne M. Yoder, World War I Conscientious Objector Database, retained CSV row 304.
