b. 1894
A World War I veteran, he turned his unit’s experience into a detailed record of service, memory, and comradeship. His best-known work preserves the story of Company B, 307th Infantry, from training through the war’s final months.
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.
