Biography
Joseph Brandon was a conscientious objector physically confined at the Camp Funston Military Police Guard House in Kansas during World War I. A signed report covering September–October 1918 records his arrival there on October 8, 1918 and individually describes his treatment in custody. The facility receipt does not independently establish his first arrest or original jail-entry date. His release date is not stated.
Primary report and evidence limits
The arrival list prints Bradin and the October 10–11 entries print Brandin, while the full signatory name is Joseph Brandon. The report names this objector among hunger strikers and describes his inability to walk from weakness on October 11. These internal spelling variations are retained without inventing a connection to the separately named Utah objector William Brandon.
The report individually establishes actual U.S. military guardhouse confinement and resistance to military orders as a conscientious objector. It does not establish the initial admission date, exact discharge, formal charge, court-martial sentence, birth or death dates. The Funston transfer date is preserved as an institutional movement, not substituted for the beginning of all custody; no time served is calculated from a sentence or a hunger-strike interval.
