  Bathurst served in the British Army during the Second Boer War. He volunteered for service in the Imperial Yeomanry, and was commissioned a lieutenant in the 30th battalion on 14 January 1902. The battalion left Southampton for South Africa four months later, and arrived in early May, shortly after conclusion of hostilities. They spent several months on regular patrol duties, and he left for home again with the battalion in December 1902.
