Ernest enlisted to the Reinforcements of the 10th Field Coy. Engineers on 24 Jan 1916 at Bendigo, Victoria. His regimental number was 15131.

He was described as being aged 24 years and 1 month, so he must have lied about his age. Family oral history has it that he looked a lot older than his age and that he began to get yellow feathers in his letterbox because people thought that he was of an age to enlist. This pressure must have caused him to lie about his age in order to enlist.

He was a described as railway repairer, of Methodist religion, height 5 foot 10 and a half inches, 11 stone 10 lb, 35 - 37 inch chest, fair complexion, blue eyes, red hair, birth mark on right buttock and a scar on right foot.

He was appointed a Sapper on 26 Aug 1916 at Moore Park, Greater Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

He embarked on the ship A.60 Aeneas from Sydney on 30 Sep 1916 and disembarked at Plymouth on 19 Nov 1916.

On 9 May 1917 he went to France. On 21 Jul 1917 he was removed from the field to hospital in France for a septic foot infection, and rejoined the regiment on 29 Jul 1917.

A Court Martial was held at Sutton Veney on 31 Jan 1919 on a charge that he committed at Salisbury on 17 Jan 1919 an act prejudicial to good order and military discipline in having in his possession a pass not genuine. He pleaded not guilty but was found guilty and sentenced to forfeit 28 days pay of which 14 days were remitted.

He embarked on the ship Kashmir on 9 March 1919 bound for Australia. His rank was 'Driver'.

He received the Victory and British war medal on 2 Jun 1923.
