Albert enlisted on the 25/8/1914 to serve in World War one and left Australia less than two months later on 18 October 1914. During his time in the 1st Light Horse Regiment, he was awarded three medals: Star, British War Medal and the Victory Medal. He was injured, possibly involving a fall from a horse and consequent severe head injuries. Medically unfit, he was sent home to Australia and discharged on 11 March 1915. As a result of these injuries, he suffered bad fits which continued until his death.
On 25 April 1925 he married Harriett Sabina McLean and their children are listed with information about Harriett.
Albert died on 30 October 1964 in Newtown, New South Wales. He was buried at Woronora Cemeterery RC lawn 2, lot 530.
