He served with the 2nd Signal Company during the Great War on the Western Front from 7 August 1914; his company would see action at Langemarck and Gheluvelt before the year’s end. Most notably in 1915 it was employed at the battle Loos and it may be on account of those operations that he was awarded the Military Medal.
