Joseph emigrated to Argentina in March 1913, but still volunteered for the British Army when war was declared. His name appears in the book
"Activities of the British Community in Argentina During the Great War 1914-1919" in the list "volunteers from Argentina", which you can see in the gallery opposite.

According to this publication, "in Argentina neither recruiting speeches, posters, nor newspaper appeals were needed to rouse Britons and their descendants, of military age, to action, or to awaken them to a send of duty to the Motherland."
