Joe was a Red Cross worker based in Italy during World War I.
While traveling in a Red Cross ambulance with driver Ernest Hemingway, Joe offered a ride to a Belgian captain. Unaware that the man was Indiana Jones, a fellow American, Joe noticed Indy's Belgian uniform and made fun of him throughout the journey, throwing xenophobic insults in English. Indy pretended not to understand and replied back with insults of his own about Joe in French. When they arrived at the village, Indy thanked Ernie for the ride in English, embarrassing Joe and giving Ernie a good laugh.
