Edward Arthur Titchmarsh served during the Great War initially as a Corporal in the Royal Engineers on the Western Front from 8 September 1914. He was discharged to a commission in April 1915 and was appointed a Second Lieutenant with the 7th Rajputs. He served with them for the rest of the Great War as a Double Company Officer, and beyond, serving as an Acting Captain in 1918 and Captain in 1920. His Annual Confidential Report from December 1919 states, ‘This young officer is the best Company Commander in the Battalion.’
