He joined Rambler on 11 November 1884 as an Ordinary Seaman, and then from February 1886 as an Able Seaman, and remained in Rambler until 31 January 1889, having seen service off Suakin from February to March 1885 during the Sudan campaign. His subsequent service saw him advanced to Acting Chief Petty Officer in October 1907, before he was pensioned on 20 October 1909 and recommended for the Royal Fleet Reserve. He rejoined on 2 August 1914 and was demobilised after the war on 20 October 1919, with 38 years service. He was apparently not awarded a L.S. & G.C. medal which may have resulted from two periods of low character, ‘Fair in 1892, and ‘Good’ in 1902.
