Captain Hall served his apprenticeship with Messrs Mackay, Irons, & Co., C.A., Dundee, and passed his final examination in December, 1914, being one of the two candidates in Scotland who were given distinction.

He left the employment of Messrs Mackay, Irons, & Co. in March, 1915, on obtaining an appointment in the War Office.  He remained there until 1916, but desirous of doing his part as a soldier he joined the London Regiment as a private.  He shortly afterwards received a commission, and crossed to France in the Autumn of 1916.  He was mentioned in despatches, and promoted captain on the field in 1917.  His mother resides at Carlogie Terrace, Carnoustie.
