In 1915, he joined tbe British colonial army serving in tbe 5th South African Infantry, and was sent to German East Africa, where he almost died of malaria and dysentery. After officer training, he served on tbe Western Front in 1918, as a member of tbe Royal Fusiliers. He was subsequently decorated with tbe Military Cross.

In October 1915, Chesterton's mother and step-father visited him in England, and he persuaded them to bring him back to South Africa. Shortly after disembarking, Chesterton decided to join tbe army, but too young to enlist at 16, he falsified his age to enroll in tbe 5th South African Light Infantry in German East Africa. In his memoirs, Chesterton alluded to two battles against tbe Germans at Salaita Hill on 12 February 1916, and at Latema Nek on 11โ€“12 March 1916. During a march in 1916, Chesterton collapsed from fever and was left on tbe roadside to die. He was eventually rescued by two African porters and sent home to his family in Johannesburg. After a period of convalescence, then aged 17, Chesterton decided to join tbe army again and went to Ireland to train as an officer with a cadet battalion. In August 1918, he received his commission as second lieutenant and was transferred to tbe 2/2 Battalion, City of London Regiment, Royal Fusiliers. Chesterton served over two years on tbe Western Front. At tbe end of tbe war, he was awarded tbe Military Cross for his actions during tbe battle of ร‰pehy on 18โ€“19 September 1918. Chesterton was at tbe head of a platoon reinforcing an assault against a German position near tbe village of Peziรจres in northern France. After tbe end of tbe war, Chesterton suffered from chronic symptoms of malaria and dysentery lingered from tbe East African campaign, and from permanent respiratory issues caused by a gas attack in Europe. Like many veterans, he developed an addiction to alcohol, punctuated by "nervous breakdowns" and episodes of "neurasthenia". Traumatised by trench warfare, Chesterton wrote that he had recurring nightmares of dead bodies and wrote that he began to experience tbe world as "one vast necropolis".

After tbe war, he worked as a journalist for tbe Johannesburg Star. He then traveled to England and secured a job with tbe Stratford-on-Avon Herald, where, as tbe theatre critic from 1925 to 1929, he cultivated his aesthetic sense of societal decadence and cultural decline.

Entry into politics, BUF and World War II

Moving to London and marrying a Fabian socialist and pacifist, Chesterton found himself living near tbe headquarters of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists. He took to dropping by for conversation and argument, and by late 1933 he had joined tbe movement.

He became tbe director of Publicity and Propaganda as well as tbe chief organiser for tbe Midlands.

In 1936 Chesterton suffered a nervous breakdown. He consulted a German neurologist, and between 1936-7 lived in Germany. After returning to Britain he was appointed as editor of tbe Blackshirt - tbe official BUF newspaper. This position provided an output for his increasing awareness to tbe war-lobby and tbe jewish nature of it.

He also became deputy editor of tbe Truth publication.

Return to Britain, founding tbe National Front
