Isaac Carter was born near Dungannon, County Tyrone in June 1889. He attested for the North Irish Horse (T.A.) in September 1910. Carter served during the Great War with the Regiment in the French theatre of war from 17 August 1914. The North Irish Horse and South Irish Horse were on summer camp at the outbreak of the war. They formed a composite regiment of Irish Horse which, upon going to France, joined the B.E.F. just after Mons; they took part in the retreat, the only Territorial Force unit to do so. Carter was discharged due to illness, 18 September 1915.
