Comments:
NOT my ancestor, but he was such a distinguished soldier that justice demands that his name be listed: he had subsequent service in the 57th Mass.; and, while serving therein, he became the first Jewish-American recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor from Massachusetts. CPL LEOPOLD KARPELES, a 22 year old clerk from Springfield, Mass., who was born in Hungary, enlisted on 15 Aug. 1862, and served in Co. A of the 46th Mass. Inf. Rgt.; he served in the Color Guard. He was honorably discharged at the End of his Term of Service (ETS) on 29 Jul. 1863. He had subsequent service in the 57th Mass. Vet. Vol. Inf. Rgt. According to Capt. John A. Anderson, then-CPL LEOPOLD KARPELES 'received testimonials from the colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major of the 46th Mass. for his 'soldierly bearing and conspicuous bravery' while in that regiment.'
