He was also in command of No.6 Company of the same regiment at St Armand and Pigeon Hill, in 1870, and was appointed major of the Prince of Wales Rifles in 1873, and served until 1884, when he resigned, but on the regiment being called out for active service in the North West, in 1885, he was offered, and accepted the post of adjutant and second in command, and after the rebellion was checked,  resigned finally.
