When he enlisted in Sep 1914 to serve in the Canadian Expeditionary Force he gave his occupation as photographer. In Dec 1914 he was discharged from the CEF and transferred to the British "New Army." In Feb 1917 he was appointed a lieutenant in the British Army. He remained in Great Britain following World War One. In 1930, according to Google Patents, he invented an "apparatus for use in playing a table-game simulating golf". His address at that time was Shepherds Way, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire (URL [accessed 2 May 2021]: https://patents.google.com/patent/GB362587A/en).
