Lucien was serving at the front since nine months when he was evacuated to England due to a serious case of "trench foot". He was also diagnosed and treated for the tuberculosis. The treatments did not prove successful and after one year, he was repatriated as medically unfit and was released from service on 31 July 1918. He died of tuberculosis the following year and his death was declared to be attributable to service.
