He first served as a sapper in the City of Dundee (Fortress) Engineers, a Royal Engineers Territorial Force unit, before being commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) on 20 September 1915.[2] He was soon transferred, joining the 10th (Service) Battalion[1] of Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own (Yorkshire Regiment) on 27 September 1915.[3] He was promoted to lieutenant on 27 March 1917,[4] and to captain on 1 May 1917.[5] Collins was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps and posted to No. 18 Squadron as an observer/gunner. Between 25 March and 17 June 1918, with pilot Captain David A. Stewart flying an Airco DH.4, he gained five victories, and in September was awarded the Military Cross.[1] He was transferred to the unemployed list on 25 February 1919.[6] On 21 September 1927, following the death of his father, Collins and his brother David, took over and continued the family business of I.
