He left with his Regiment for France, 17th August 1914, taking part in the retreat from Mons and several other engagements, and was killed in a bayonet charge at Festubert, 21st Dec 1914. In a letter to a friend in South Moor he said: "You will have heard about the battle on the Aisne. We were in the trenches for a month, and the first week it never ceased raining, and we had to stick it."

Later writing from Festubert, he said that they had had several engagements with the Prussian Guard, but had got through them doing six bayonet charges in ten days. He married at Yarwell, Nassington, 8 Oct 1913, Carrie, dau of Mr Mould, of Nassington.
