Less than a month after the outbreak of World War II , Inwood volunteered for service in the Citizens Military Forces and again enlisted as a private , although he was promoted to sergeant within a week . In March 1940 he was transferred to the 4th Military District ( 4 MD ) Australian Provost Corps ( military police ) section , and was promoted to staff sergeant . He was then transferred to the 4 MD detention barracks staff in November . He went on leave for three weeks in January – February 1941 , and was transferred back to the provost section , later provost company , in November , and two weeks later was promoted to warrant officer class two . In April 1942 , he was temporarily promoted to warrant officer class one , before being transferred back to a detention barracks in August . Inwood married Louise Elizabeth Gates in 1942 , and this was apparently a happy marriage . In June 1943 , Inwood was transferred from the Australian Provost Corps to the Military Prison and Detention Barracks Service , and was then posted around various detention barracks , being substantively promoted to warrant officer class one in November 1943 . Aged 54 , he was medically discharged on 30 November 1944 due to a deterioration in his overall health . For his service in World War II , Inwood received the War Medal 1939 – 1945 and Australia Service Medal 1939 – 1945 . He was also later awarded the King George VI Coronation Medal and Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal
