At Blackboy Hill camp, Henry was allocated to the 7th reinforcement draft for the 44th Battalion soon after he entered camp on 3 Jan 1917. Within a month of joining, he boarded the HMAT A28 Miltiades in Fremantle on 29 Jan 1917 for England, disembarking in Devonport on 27 Mar 1917. He was one of eight men (Stephen Gittins, James Peter Henderson MM & Bar, Stanley Thomas Marsh, Thomas Alfred Osborne, Leonard Alfred Sawtell, Harold Hopgood Surman, and Frederick White) with local ties who made the voyage to England together. They were from an array of reinforcement drafts for the 11th, 16th, 28th, 44th and 51st Battalions as well as to the Railway Unit.
On arrival in England, Henry was sent first to the Fovant Details Depot where he appears to have spent some time in hospital. He then joined the 11th Training Battalion at Larkhill north of Salisbury on 18 Apr 1917. While in training Henry was AWOL from midnight 6 Jul 1917 until 1:30pm on 13 Jul 1917, and was held in custody for two days while awaiting trial. Found guilty, he was awarded 7 days Field Punishment No. 2 and the forfeiture of 16 day's pay. On 20 Aug 1917 he proceeded to France via Southampton, and joined the 44th Battalion at Saint Pierre in France on 1 Sep 1917.
On 4 Oct 1917 the 44th Battalion was involved in the attack on Broodseinde Ridge to the right of the village. During the battle Henry received a gunshot wound to his face, requiring him to be treated by the 3rd Australian Casualty Clearing Station, before being admitted to the 16th General Hospital in Le Tréport. After time in the 3rd Convalescent Depot, he rejoined the battalion (again located at Saint Pierre) on 25 Oct 1917 and remained with them until he enjoyed a fortnight's leave from 4 - 18 Sep 1918 in England. However, barely had he rejoined the battalion when he was hospitalised on 27 Sep 1918 via the 11th Field Ambulance and the 37th Casualty Clearing Station. Admitted to the 39th General Hospital in le Havre with Venereal Disease he was released after 38 days treatment. He rejoined his battalion on 3 Dec 1918 and enjoyed leave to the UK from 8 - 22 Mar 1919 before returning to France and rejoining the 44th Battalion.
On 24 Apr 1919 Henry was again admitted to the 39th General Hospital with Venereal Disease, and the next day boarded HMHS Goorkha for England where he entered the 1st Australian Dermatological Hospital at Bulford on 28 Apr 1919. He was discharged on 1 May 1919 after 8 days ineffective service. He also required treatment for a septic foot from the 3rd Australian Auxiliary Hospital on 23 Jun 1919 prior to his return home.
