Attended Otaki Convent School. Joseph worked on a farm near Otaki before going to World War I. He was commissioned as a Lieutenant and was highly thought of by his men. He was wounded twice, the second time he was hit in the shoulder as he was evacuating his men after an attack on German positions, in 1917. He refused attention, saying other were worse than he was. He died soon after, apparently from loss of blood. He visited his English relatives while stationed overseas.
