William Henry George Halfhead attested for the Yorkshire Regiment in February 1886 and on the termination of his engagement joined the 1st Volunteer Battalion, Middlesex Regiment. He was promoted Sergeant in 1909 and after transferring to ‘D’ (Highgate) Company, 7th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment, was awarded his Territorial Force Efficiency Medal in the first quarter of 1913. During the Great War he served at Home and at Gibraltar (therefore not entitled to the Victory Medal). Following his return from Gibraltar he temporarily held the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major, and served in a Home Service Employment Company of the Labour Corps, and later the Essex Regiment. He was demobilised in December 1919, and was awarded a Silver War Badge.
