From 1925-27 he commanded a brigade of the 1st Division.

The 30th and 31st Brigades of the 10th Division would land the following morning.

Under his command he established the 2nd Brigade of the 6th Division.

However, only one brigade of his division ultimately reached Dupont, the rest being needed to hold the road north against the guerrillas.

The two brigades of the 10th Division came ashore, adding to the confusion.

In 1917 he became commander of the 58th Brigade of the 29th Division.

An attack on the north side by elements of the 1st Brigade of the 6th Division was more successful.

When the assault finally began, the troops from the 86th and 87th Brigade of the 29th British Division were quickly stopped.

Reille, commanding a brigade of Gazan's division, formed the right.

Together they were to operate as a brigade of the British 6th Division, attached to the 8th Army.
