There he achieved a 4th class degree in Literae Humaniores and, upon leaving, became a Master at MAO College, Aligarh; he later joined the IARO. He enlisted in January 1915. Although a 2nd Lieutenant in the Indian Army Reserve of Officers (IARO), he was attached to 32nd Lancers when he died, hence he is listed here as serving with the cavalry, not the infantry.
