He had been employed as a vanman when he enlisted in the K.O.S.B. Reserve in August 1914. He volunteered for overseas service and was posted to the 1st Battalion at Gallipoli in July 1915. He later served in Egypt before the Battalion moved to France in March 1916. Here he fell ill and in July 1917 was discharged from the Army as physically unfit.
