Pre War
Prior to enlisting in the 2nd AIF, Frank had joined the CMF on 14 Jul 1941 as a driver with the 122nd Reserve Motor Transport Depot. He was for a time posted to an Armoured Division training unit at Northam camp.
War Service
The day after Frank enlisted he was allocated to the 10th Armoured Regiment, and from 15 - 21 Nov 1941 he was embarked on HMT Katoomba in Fremantle for Adelaide, enroute to the Puckapunyal training area. From 24 Nov until 9 Dec 1941 he attended an anti-gas school, and on 19 Dec 1941 he was promoted Acting Corporal. From 11 Jan until 21 Feb 1942 he attended another course. Frank was sent to New South Wales on 14 Jul 1942, where on 9 Aug 1942 he was admitted to the 3rd Australian Casualty Clearing Station with Haematuria. On 11 Aug 1942 he was transferred to the 102nd Australian General Hospital in Tamworth, and on 9 Sep 1942 to the 113th Australian General Hospital at Concorde in Sydney. At some point he was released to the Lady Gowie Convalescent Home from which he was discharged on 15 Dec 1942.
On 31 Dec 1942 he was transferred from NSW to WA and appears to have entered the 110th Australian General Hospital (Perth) before being released to a Convalescent home on 1 Jul 1943. He was to return to the hospital from the convalescent home several more time (13 - 17 Aug 1943) and 19 Sug - 6 Oct 1943) before being Medical Boarded on 15 oct 1943 and reclassified "D" with his discharge occurring on 20 Nov 1943.
