Joseph had originally attested with the Royal Field Artillery on 19th April 1915. He was posted on 27th April 1915 but was discharged a day later on the 28th as being rejected by the approving officer as not likely to become an efficient soldier. At some point later Joseph managed to rejoin the army serving with the Lincolnshire Regiment.
