After the war, Nares served with the West African Frontier Force until 1924.[3] He attended, from 1927 to 1928, the Staff College, Camberley, and later became a staff captain in China in 1931 and was made assistant adjutant and quartermaster general for the 8th Division in Palestine, during the Arab revolt, in 1936.[3]
Nares served in the Middle East,[3] North Africa and Central Mediterranean (including Italy) during the Second World War. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1941,[6] awarded the Legion of Merit (Degree of Commander) from the United States in 1946 for his services in Italy and,[7] in the 1947 New Year Honours, was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath.[8] His last post was Commandant of the British Sector in Berlin after the war.[3]
Nares died in London on 18 June 1947 at Queen Alexandra's Military Hospital.[1] He was cremated after a service at St Thomas-on-the-Bourne, Farnham, Surrey.[1] A memorial tablet for him was dedicated to him by his fellow officers in the sanctuary of the regimental chapel in Chester Cathedral.[1]
