He was with the patrol when Lieutenant Lewis allegedly attempted to shoot Trooper Homann (BVC) for suspected treachery near Pietersburg (Trooper R.M.Cochrane's letter to Major Bolton). He served with A Squadron under Captain Robertson in the Spelonken and, on 2 July 1901, was at the head of the squad from which the advance patrol was selected to intercept and shoot the six Boers who were believed to be coming in to surrender. He was fortunate not to be included in the party. Discharged at Pretoria on 6 December 1901. Served subsequently as No.5 in the East Griqualand Mounted Volunteers, and later as No.623 in the Natal Volunteer Composite Regiment.

After the war he joined the Natal Border Police and then the Natal Police with which he served during the Zulu Rebellion of 1906 and earned the Natal Medal with 1906 bar. He had militia service with the 2nd South African Mounted Rifles, and when World War I broke out in 1914 he was ready to serve with them. He fought in the 1915 campaign in German South West Africa with the South African Mounted Rifles, and for his gallantry was awarded the DCM (Distinguished Conduct Medal).
