In September 1890, he was appointed Quarter-Master, with the honorary rank of Lieutenant, in which capacity he served until being placed on the Retired List in October 1895. He died in 1897; sold with an original hand written order from the recipient, requesting a fatigue party, together with a family photograph and copied research.

Having been promoted to Corporal in the latter period, he gained advancement to Sergeant in December 1887 and to Colour-Sergeant in April 1893. He was finally discharged at Carnarvon in May 1908, when he was described as ‘an excellent instructor and rifle shot’; sold with copied research.
