This report of Joe?s death appeared in the Hemel Hempstead Gazette and the Watford Observer.
Driver J. A. Keen Dies from Wounds
The fullest sympathy of the villagers will be extended to Mr and Mrs G. J. Keen and family, of Kings Langley, in the loss they have sustained by the passing of their only son, Joseph Arthur Keen, as the result of wounds received while on active service in the Middle East. The deceased, who was in his 23rd year had served for two years as a driver in the Royal Army *Medical Corps.
On Wednesday of last week the War Office notified his parents that he had been seriously wounded and then this Tuesday stated that he had succumbed to his injuries.
He was well-known and highly respected, greatly beloved by all whose pleasure it was to know him. Prior to joining up he had assisted his father, employed as the village butcher, and all will share the regret that such a promising career has been cut short.
* This was a mistake. Joe served in the Royal Army Service Corps.
