He signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (442701) with the 54th Infantry Battalion "Kootenay Battalion", on May 22, 1915 at Vernon Camp, British Columbia, at that age of 21, naming his next-of-kin as Edwin Keeling at the White Line Hotel in Stockport, England, stating that he had no previous military service, that he was not married, that his religion was Roman Catholic and that his trade was that of Labourer. It is also acknowledged in his pay records that his next-of-kin was his sister, Miss Louise Keeling at the same address in Stockport. The Battalion was raised in Southern British Columbia under the authority of G.O. 86, July 1, 1915, with the mobilization headquarters at Nelson, British Columbia. The Battalion sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia, on November 22, 1915 aboard the S.S. Saxonia, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel W.M. Davis with a strength of 36 officers and 1,111 other ranks, arriving in Plymouth, England on December 2nd.

He was transferred to No. 22 Casualty Clearing Station on October 25th, which was followed a week later by his admission to No. 4 General Hospital Dannes at Camiers on November 2nd. A little over a week later, his condition necessitated his invaliding to England, where he was admitted to 1st London General Hospital at Camberwell on November 11th. After two weeks treatment at Camberwell, he was transferred to the Canadian Convalescent Hospital at Woodcote Park, Epsom on November 24th, where he wold recuperate for the next two weeks, before being discharged from hospitalization on December 8th.
