About the author

Born in 1894, Julius Klausner, Jr. is credited as the compiler of Company B, 307th Infantry: Its History, Honor Roll, Company Roster, a book published in 1920. Library and public-domain catalog records identify him with that work and note his connection to Company B of the 307th Infantry.

His book is a firsthand-era regimental history drawn from the experience of American soldiers in World War I. Rather than being known for a long literary career, he appears to be remembered chiefly for preserving the record of his fellow servicemen — their movements, service, and names — in a form that has remained accessible through archives and public-domain libraries.

That gives his writing a direct, documentary quality. For listeners interested in wartime memoirs, unit histories, and voices close to the events themselves, his work offers a compact window into how ordinary soldiers chose to remember extraordinary years.
