My Grandfather: Philip Conpenelis [Koupenelis]


My dad, Robert Philip Conpenelis, was the son of Philip Conpenelis.

Philip was born in France, 1896. He married my grandmother, Bertha Duewiger; my dad was born in 1920 and his sister, Lorraine, was born in 1922.

Philip died in 1923, from a debilitating medical condition.

This page will include some of the articles and information that I have acquired about my grandfather's military service in World War I.
