Joseph was a Sapper with the Inland Waterways and Docks unit of the Royal Engineers-Service/Regiment No:WR/331921.[Drowned in Glasgow Docks]

His is one of the names which are now past the temporary time period allowed to find the graves or are known not to have a findable grave (died at sea etc). Some could still be found in future but it is now time to give these casualties proper commemoration in stone.
Therefore, his Official Point of Commemoration as at 8th October 2016, is now the Brookwood 1914-1918 Memorial.
