He is listed in The Catholic Directory as a member of the Institute of Charity, otherwise known as the Rosminians. Cox was commissioned as a Temporary Chaplain to the Forces 4th Class on 22 September 1915, and was posted to Egypt, where he was attached as spiritual counsel to Nagiel Hospital, Cairo.
