From 1899 to 1900 he commanded Eastern District, during which he was promoted to major-general and awarded a Companion of the Order of the Bath.[3]

Thereafter Abadie was appointed the Lieutenant Governor of Jersey, a post he held until 1904.[3] There is a painting of him at his regimental museum in Derby by John St Helier Lander,[4] an artist whom he met while living in Jersey.
