He transferred to the 4th (Territorial) Battalion on 15 March 1911, and saw further service during the Great War at home with the Battalion as Company Sergeant Major Instructor. His Second War service is unconfirmed, but given that his Defence Medal was issued by ‘Yeomanry House, Maidstone’ and sent to ‘69 Victoria Road, Margate’ (which was and still is the site of a Drill Hall), it is probable that he was serving at home as an Instructor.
