In 1897 he visited Greece to study their infantry in action. He was a colonel and regiment chief from 1911.

He joined the French Foreign Legion in 1918, and participated on the Western Front for France in World War I.[3][4][5] It was whilst he was deployed in Northern Russia that he had a severe case of frostbite, resulting in both of his feet and several fingers being amputated.[6] He was appointed as an officer of the Legion of Honour for his service during the North Russia intervention.[7]
