He embarked from Sydney aboard the Euripides on October 31st and reached England on Christmas Day 1917. In the early months of 1918, bouts of German measles and influenza limited his service, but in August he was able to cross to France to serve with the 4th Field Company Engineers. After the war he returned to Australia aboard the Anchises, disembarked at Melbourne on October 8th 1919 and was discharged on December 6th 1919.
