In World War I he served on the HMAS Pioneer, and was posted to East Africa in 1915 during the campaign against the German colonies. He was appointed acting engineer lieutenant-commander early in 1915, joined the cruiser H.M.S. Encounter in April 1918 and was confirmed in rank in December; he was promoted engineer commander in July 1919. Transferred to H.M.A.S. Brisbane in the same rank in September, he remained in this ship until 1921 when he returned to Britain for advanced engineering courses. From ADB entry
