His unit embarked from Melbourne, Victoria, on board HMAT A57 Malakuta on 23 September 1915. He travelled as far as Egypt to join the 8th Light Horse Regiment, but bouts of diphtheria and tonsillitis, and an old leg injury, led to him being returned to Australia for æhome service'. He was discharged in late March 1917.
