During the Second World War he saw action at the Second Battle of El Alamein in October 1942 and the Battle of El Agheila in December 1942 as well as the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943 and the subsequent Italian campaign.[3] He then took part in the Normandy landings and the advance through North West Europe.[3]

After the war, he served joined the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan in 1946 and then served in North Africa and saw action in the Suez Canal Zone during the Suez Crisis.[3] He became commanding officer of the 1st Battalion, Liverpool Scottish in 1958, commander of the 152nd Infantry Brigade in January 1962 and Deputy Director of Army Staff Duties at the Ministry of Defence in February 1965.[4] His last appointment was as General Officer Commanding, 51st (Highland) Division in February 1966 before retiring in 1968.[5]
