During WWI he served in the Royal Australian Navy in the Pacific (P.M.O. on HMS Grantala) and the Royal Navy in the North Sea (destroyers HMS Cleopatra and Dauntless). He practiced as a doctor for a short time, 1913-1917, in Newcastle, N.S. Wales, Australia; taught physiology for one year, 1920, in the medical school of the Univ. of Sydney. After studying in London with Sir Thomas Lewis at the University College Hospital, he brought the first electro-cardiograph back to Sydney and set up practice as heart specialist on Macquarie St. After his health broke down, Wm. returned to Bermuda in 1926, and built a house, "Miamba" on the Soncy land. In 1931, he and his family left Bermuda for London.
