The Major's military career commenced in 1899 when he joined the yeoman cavalry at the start of the Boer War, receiving a commission in the Royal Artillery the following year and serving until 1904, when he retired in favour of agricultural pursuits. At the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914 he rejoined the Royal Artillery (Reserve of Officers), and fought at Ypres, amongst other places. In 1916 he was invalided home, although he was later sent to Egypt with the Royal Flying Corps in 1917. He served, therefore, in three branches of the armed forces - the Cavalry, the Artillery and the Air Force - and saw a great deal of active service. He was awarded a number of medals, including two South African medals, the Victory Medal and the Croix de Guerre, and was also made a Member of the British Empire. He married and had one daughter, but no son to carry on the family tradition of serving in the Royal Artillery.
