have always held that there was no objection to national service, provided it was not directly concerned with the war". British Liberal politician Philip Morrell addressed the matter in the House of Commons, where he "argued that Chappelow was being subjected to mental torture". Despite all of these efforts, Chappelow was convicted and sentenced to six months in prison; it was reported that as he was escorted to the barrack square for the sentence to be pronounced, he sang La Marseillaise. He was sent to Wandsworth prison, and with his conviction, Chappelow lost his job with the education committee. Chappelow "wrote repeatedly to friends about his fears and his terrible sense of isolation": While in Wandsworth, Chappelow met with another noted conscientious objector, George Frederick Dutch, who was equally ill-treated. As Chappelow withered in despondency, Russell sought further intervention from Shaw in Chappelow's case, but at this point, "Shaw replied sternly. 'Chappelow should either serve or go through with martyrdom. Martyrdom is a matter for the individual soul... you can't advise a man'". Chappelow spent four months in prison, and was paroled by September 1916, thereafter serving in a Friends' Ambulance Unit on a farm provided by Philip Morrell and Morrell's wife, Ottoline, as a sort of sanctuary for conscientious objectors. When Russell was himself later sentenced to six months in Brixton prison for his anti-war activities, he noted that he found Chappelow "unduly sentimental", and remarked in a July 1918 letter to Ottoline Morrell that he hoped not to be like Chappelow in that regard while imprisoned. Post-war life Chappelow's treatment, and that of others who were similarly situated, led to "a national outcry and calls for reform". The government later "admitted that it had been wrong to imprison Eric and the other conscientious objectors". In her 1932 book, The Home Front, the suffragist Sylvia Pankhurst recalled seeing the photograph of Chappelow in the blanket, and commented on Chappelow's plight. Later in life, Chappelow "wrote poetry on classical themes", and "contributed several Assyriological articles to the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society and the Journal of the Transactions of The Victoria Institute in the 1930s". Chappelow and his brother Archibald were both elected Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts in 1937. His 1945 poetry volume, Salute to the Muse garnered several positive reviews, being described by The Library World as "sensitive and accomplished verse", and by The Poetry
