He enlisted soon after the outbreak of World War I, in August 1914, leaving Australia on 18 October 1914. He arrived at Anzac Cove on 3 May 1915 and after taking part in operations there returned to Australia and was discharged on 1 May 1916.[3] He re-enlisted on 29 August 1918 and re-embarked on 16 October 1918, but the war ended before he arrived in Europe.[4] After returning to Australia, Lang became a farmer at Swan Hill after receiving land under the Soldier Settlement scheme.[5] He died in 1974.
