Forced out of the R.N.V.R. (his Commanding Officer reported that he was incapable of performing the duties for which he was appointed, and his commission was terminated), he was briefly commissioned into the Army (and his medal index card states that his British War and Victory Medals were issued by the Royal Naval Air Service), before relinquishing his commission and being released from the Army. Finally, he attested for full-time military service in the ranks as Private, number M-336473, Army Service Corps, and served during operations on the North West Frontier in the Third Afghan War. He died in 1958.
