He was later promoted to lieut col. in command of 3rd Division Transport. Col. Henley took part in the Gallipoli campaign and was senior officer of the 1st Division. He was at the evacuation and subsequently went to France in command of 3rd Division Transport.

On returning to Australia Col. Henley lived in Adelaide for several years, and then came to Melbourne to join the AASC 4th Division. He retained this position until the out- break of war, when he went to Hobart as assistant director, Supply and Transport, 6th Division.
