On 7 February 1885, Bailey was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards from the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and he was promoted captain on 11 November 1896.[2] After the outbreak of the Second Boer War in October 1899, a corps of imperial volunteers from London was formed in late December 1899. The corps included infantry, mounted infantry and artillery divisions and was authorized with the name City of London Imperial Volunteers. It proceeded to South Africa in January 1900, returned in October the same year, and was disbanded in December 1900. Captain Bailey was appointed as Adjutant to the infantry division on 3 January 1900, with the temporary rank of Major in the Army,[3] and served as such until the corps was disbanded. He was promoted to the substantive rank of major on 29 November 1900, and awarded a Distinguished Service Order (DSO) for his services in South Africa later the same year.[1][4] After his return to the United Kingdom, he was on 1 June 1901 appointed to command the Guards' depot at Caterham, Surrey.[5]
