He went on to active service on August 26, 1939. He served in Saint John, Gaspe, P.Q., then overseas in England, attached to the 23rd. Regiment R.C.H.A. 4th. Canadian Armoured Division; then on to France shortly after D-Day and then Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland and Germany. He remained in the Reserve Army for many years, commissioned in the 8th. Princess Louise’s N. B. Hussars and transferred to the 3rd. H.A.A. Regiment (The Loyal Coy.) and retired as Adjutant. He was a past member of the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association and the Royal N. B. Rifle & Pistol Club. Ted was also a past member of Westfield and Riverside Country Clubs, United Empire Loyalists’ Society, Saint John Garrison Officers Badminton Club, Royal United Services Institute, Garrison Officers’ Mess, and the Royal Canadian Signals Association.

He was employed for many years with various American and Canadian Government Departments and was Immigration Liaison Officer for the Port of Saint John at the time of his retirement in 1982.
