During the First World War he was in the intelligence division of the British Admiralty.

After public service posts, Baillie was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leeds from 1924 to his retirement in 1938.

Honours

Baillie was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1919 New Year Honours,[6] made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy following a meeting with Italian leader Benito Mussolini[1] and received a knighthood in 1931.[7]

Marriage

In 1906 Baillie married Helena May James. They had no children.[1]

Death
