Wikipedia Ward joined the Oxfordshire Light Infantry from school and was commissioned a second lieutenant on 1 December 1897. He saw active service in India, where he took part in the Tirah Campaign under Sir William Lockhart 1897–98, and was promoted a lieutenant on 28 October 1898. In April 1902 he was seconded for service under Foreign office, and joined the King's East African Rifles in Uganda. He later transferred to this regiment, eventually commanding the regiment and, at the start of the First World War, being in charge of all forces in East Africa. He held the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel but was made an acting brigadier-general in operations in Western Europe later in the War, being twice wounded and twice mentioned in dispatches. He retired from the Army at the end of the war and from 1924 to 1929 was ADC to the Governor-General of Nyasaland, Sir Charles Calvert Bowring; his obituary states that he had bought property in what is now Malawi and was intending to retire there, but he died after an operation in London.

Ward was stated to be "a keen cricketer, and played for All-India, M. C. C. and the Free Foresters". He played three times in first-class cricket for Somerset: once as a middle-order batsman in a single County Championship match in 1913, and then twice as a lower-order batsman in back-to-back games against the first-class universities in 1920. He reached double figures just once in five first-class innings.
