Commissioned to the 3rd Battalion Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders in 1915 he was mentioned in dispatches and awarded the Military Cross, transferring to the 6th Gurkha Rifles in 1917. Between the Wars he served in India and was again mentioned in dispatches, attending Command Staff College, Quetta at a similar time as Major General Leslie Birks C.B, D.S.O. At the outbreak of World War Two he was Commanding Officer 1st Battalion 6th Gurka Rifles and Deputy Director of Military Training in India. Originally posted to Rangoon as a staff officer he took command of the 17th Infantry Division when its former commander was relieved of his duties. He remained in command for the remainder of the campaign, particularly the actions at Tiddim 1943, Imphal 1944 and the drive into Central Burma. His son Major Tennant Cowan was killed in 1945 whilst serving in his fathers old regiment, (1/6th Gurkha Rifles) Despite suffering this loss Punch commanded the decisive battle of Meikitila being awarded the D.S.O for his leadership throughout the Burma campaign. Poised to become the Commanding Officer of the Indian section of the Commonwealth Corps for the intended invasion of Japan, he then became general Officer Commanding the joint British -Indian division BRINDIV as part of the occupation force after the Japanese surrender. Retiring in 1947 he moved to Devon and subsequently became Deputy Lord -Lieutenant of Devon, retiring from public life after the Commonwealth Games in 1958. Both his children pursued military careers and it is most likely that during service in India the Cowan and Birks family connections were established
