About the author
Julius Klausner, Jr. was born in 1894 and is known for Company B, 307th Infantry, Its History, Honor Roll, Company Roster, a record connected with the unit’s service in World War I. Library and public-domain book sources consistently identify him as the compiler or author of that work.
According to LibriVox’s author listing, he served in Company B, 307th Infantry, and published the unit’s history in 1920. That makes his work especially interesting as a near-contemporary account: it is not a distant retelling, but a practical memorial to the men, service, and losses of his company.
Little else about his life could be confirmed from the sources found here, so the safest way to understand him is through the book itself. His legacy rests on preserving a piece of soldiers’ history that might otherwise have faded from view.
