He became a reporter for the Western Telegraph, and when he thought that war was inevitable he joined the Army (in August 1939), and was in the RAOC, training at Hillsea Barracks, Portsmouth. In 1940 his unit was posted to Hong Kong where he served until selected for officer training in 1941. He was sent to India and was in B company,11 Platoon, Officer’s training school, Belgaum. The Amy List shows he was commissioned into the Indian Army Ordnance Corps on 25/11/1941, and he was sent to the IAOC training depot at Jubbulpore. He was posted to various bases in India, rising to the rank of Major by 1945. He commanded 71 OFD in 1944 and the battlefield clearance battalion in Burma in 1945. He returned to UK in 1945, married and he went back to India with my mother. He was then posted to Nowshera, now in Northern Pakistan, where he remained until 1947. On independence he transferred to the British Army with a regular commission at the rank of Major. On retirement he was Colonel Commandant of the RAOC, 01.01.1976-30.09.1978."

* For gallantry on the 12th Octocer, 1920, near Tuwariz. When a bridge of boats, the destruction of which would have meant that the only means of communication across the river would be cut off, had been set on fire by the insurgents, this officer, regardless of all danger, at once rushed over at the head of his platoon and drove off the enemy. Whilst crossing the river Lt. Pocook was subjected to heavy fire from the enemy, at close range, and by his action not only saved the bridge from destruction, but also very materially assisted in the ensuing attack. Moreover, this sudden and unexpected assault so surprised the insurgents that they were compelled to retire, and fled in confusion.
