On 7th December 19142 he was posted to 44 Air School Grahamstown, South Africa for training.

He went on to fly 33 operational sorties and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal. The citation for his award reads as follows:
'CARR, Thomas William. 1121144 Flight Sergeant, 626 Squadron. London Gazette 15th August 1944 sorties 23, flying hours 162. Air Bomber, Air2/9632.
Flight Sergeant Carr is an Air Bomber who has completed 23 successful operational sorties against the enemy on some of the most heavily defended targets in Germany. He has participated in 7 attacks on Berlin as well as the important targets of Leipzig, Magdeburg, Nuremberg and Essen. During all his operations Flight Sergeant Carr has shown himself to be a most competent and conscientious member of Air Crew displaying a high degree of courage in the face of heavy enemy opposition. His coolness and strong sense of duty have in a large measure contributed to the successful completion of operations. I have no hesitation in recommending the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal to this N.C.O.' Remarks by his Station Commander 10th May 1944.

As he gained experience as an Officer's Steward, he was appointed to Senior Officer's who later achieved 'Flag rank'.
He is listed as serving on H.M.S. Marlborough at the Battle of Jutland 31st May 1916 but was transferred at sea to H.M.S. Royal Oak the following day, 1st June 1916.
In April 1919 he signed a 'Temporary Service Agreement' and was attached to the Royal Australian Navy until September 1921. He was then officially attached to the Retinue of H.R.H.
