He served in the United States Army during World War I, from 1917 to 1918, achieving the rank of first lieutenant.
He again served in the U.S. Army during World War II, from 1942 to 1944, in the judge advocate general's department.
[2] In 1948, his supreme court service was interrupted by a return to Europe to participate in the review of Nazi war crime convictions, in the Dachau trials.
In one case that he reviewed, he recommended life imprisonment rather than execution for twelve Germans convicted of killing 100 Americans during the Battle of the Bulge.
