He attested at Edinburgh 02/09/1914 and went to Egypt as a Sergeant in the 5/6th Battalion Royal Scots 15/09/1915. Discharged to a commission 06/11/1916, he was posted to the 16th Battalion Royal Scots 11/12/1916 and was in command of a platoon of A Company when they participated in the attack on Roeux 28/04/1917 - part of the Battle of Arras. "I mopped up the houses and cellars in my area, taking a few prisoners.....we encountered what appeared to be a preliminary counter-attack by the enemy. For some time we maintained our position by rifle fire and bombing in the hope of reinforcements arriving." Henderson attracted the attention of a sniper, and received "a through and through wound of the front of the right thigh....the openings [of which] were large & ragged" and was made a prisoner. He attributed his eventual recovery from his wound to the ministrations of British NCOs and Russian doctors among his fellow prisoners "as the Boche did very little for us, especially in the way of food." Interned in Switzerland, he was repatriated 09/12/1918, and resumed his career in government service. In 1933, as General Inspector Department of Health for Scotland, he superintended the evacuation of the few remaining inhabitants of the remote island of St Kilda.
