He trained at both Camp Custer near Battle Creek and Camp Humphreys near Washington D.C. before being sent to France. Julius served in the artillery and since he grew up on a farm he was given the task of handling teams of horses pulling wagons. He served in major battles at the Marbach Defensive, St. Michiel, and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.
