He accepted a commission in the navy as a lieutenant (junior grade) in 1915 while living in Massachusetts and retired August 1, 1948, at the rank of vice admiral.
Lyle was serving as a dental officer with the 5th Regiment of the United States Marine Corps on the French front during World War I.

In addition to the Medal of Honor, Lyle also received the Legion of Merit, the Silver Star (with palms) and the Italian War Cross.
