In 1862 he sailed with the barque Johannes Kepler , the ship of the Warnemünde captain Stephan Jantzen , from Cardiff to the United States . On March 4, 1863, he joined the United States Army in the Civil War in Stafford, Virginia . He served as an assistant doctor in the 119th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment from March 19, 1863 to November 3, 1864 and then became a regimental surgeon in the 9th US Colored Heavy Artillery Regiment , until it was disbanded in May 1865. After the war he was released in August 1865.
