Reappointed a Lieutenant in the Pembrokeshire Yeomanry on 27 September 1914, he entered the France/Flanders theatre of war in March 1917, in command of the 8th North Hampshire Labour Company.

With his medical problems persisting, he remained in England for the remainder of the war, attaining the rank of Captain on 27 December 1917. He was permitted to resign his commission and retain the rank of Captain in May 1919. Sold with copied service papers and m.i.c.
