Comments:

Philip is listed as having been inducted (drafted?) rather than enlisted.

Philip's name is misspelled with a "u" instead of an "o", possibly an English phonetic spelling since Philip could not read or write English or Italian.

Philip's place of birth is listed as what appears to be "Ponsonn". I have not found that on lists of towns in Sicily. I assume it is another English phonetic spelling.

That he is listed a "not qualified" in marksmanship may also be related to his inability to read or write English. Having emigrated from Italy not long before, he made not yet have been fluent in spoken English either.

Return to the U.S. is written "1918". He returned in 1919.
