The Territorial Decoration was awarded long after he retired and, unlike the other medals, is from Elizabeth's reign. He joined the Ayrshire Yeomanry before 1914 and was seconded to the Kings African Rifles, where he led what we used to call 'native troops' in the arduous campaigns against the German colonies of East Africa (now Tanzania) and South West Africa (now Namibia). His regular army service included two spells, each of at least five years, in India, including extended active service with British Regiments in the North West Frontier Province, as well as long spells in Depots such as Allahabad and Ferozepore. he was by trade an armourer in the Ordnance Corps. On retirement in 1938/9 as WO1, he was granted a commission as Lieutenant/Quartermaster RA to the Anti-tank Regiment of the 51st highland Division based at Oban a few weeks before the outbreak of war. Though by now over-age for active service he went with the regiment to France and from June 1940 spent the rest of the war as German POW. After the war, until his retirement in 1947, he was posted to command camps of German PsOW in England, first as Captain then as Major in the Royal Artillery. He died while salmon fishing near Oban on 13th July 1964.
