No official information, other than what he declared when he enlisted had been found. Jules named Joseph De Pelichy, of Louvain, Belgium, as next of kin, without specifying the relation with that person nor an address. There is also Charles Delvenne, Montréal (presumably a cousin) mentioned in the military file but this information led to no concrete findings.
He is inscribed as « Julien » in the England and Wales Civil Registration Death Index and « Julius » in the Book of Remembrance.
Jules served at the front with the 22nd Battalion during two years and rose to the rank of sergeant. In October 1917 he was attached to the 5th Brigade Headquarters as « gas sergeant » and, on 8 April 1918, he suffered a gas attack. He was evacuated to England and died two weeks later of his wounds.
