Joseph had two brothers also serving in the war, Harry and Maurice, although it is unclear what happened to Harry.

The boys' mother Annie, not being able to find out from the War Office what had happened to her sons, went to the newspaper office for help. They were able to find out for her that it was likely that they had all been killed.
