Two weeks after entering camp, Joseph was allocated to the 15th reinforcement draft for the 28th Battalion, travelling with the draft to England.

On 21 Dec 1916 he proceeded overseas to France on the HMT Princesse Clementine from Folkestone. He was taken on strength by the 28th Battalion on 18 Jan 1917 who were in billets at Buire, west and south of Albert.

Ill with influenza from 22 Feb 1917 till- 26 Mar 1917, he was initially seen by the 6th Australian Field Ambulance who passed him on to the 45th Casualty Clearing Station and then the 7th Canadian General Hospital in Étaples from 23 Feb to 9 Mar 1917 when he was released to a Convalescent Depot.

With the battalion again on 26 Mar 1917 until he was wounded in Action on 1 Jun 1917. The battalion had been relieved by the 22nd Battalion in the front lines at Midnight 31st May-1st June. While moving to the rear, B Company was observed, despite the darkness, by an enemy plane which dropped 2 bombs on the men, killing 27 and wounding 40 others.

Joseph was seen first by the 5th Australian Field Ambulance, then the 61st Casualty Clearing Station before entering the 13th General Hospital in Boulogne on 3 Jun 1918. Released on 11 Jul 1918 to a base depot before rejoining the battalion on 21 Jul 1918 at Blangy Tronville where his company was camped on the banks of the Somme River as part of the 2nd Division's reserve.

On 26 Sep 1918 Joseph was seen by the 7th Australian Field Ambulance who passed him to the 55th Casualty Clearing Station the same day. Admitted to the 3rd Stationary Hospital in Rouen on 29 Sep 1918 with a hernia, he was evacuated to England on 12 Oct 1918 for admission to the Norfolk War Hospital in Norwich for further treatment.

Following treatment in Norwich he was released to the 1st Australian Auxiliary Hospital in Harefield on 10 Dec 1918. By 14 Jan 1919 he was well enough to be transferred to the No.2 Command Depot in Weymouth.

Moved again on 20 Feb 1919, this time to the No 1 Command Depot in Sutton Veny to be processed for an early return to Australia. Discharged by 5th Military District on 2 Jun 1919.
