Gilbert joined the Grenadier Guards in 1899[1] and was promoted from supernumerary lieutenant to be lieutenant in 1901.[6] He was seconded for service with the South African Constabulary in 1900[7] and with the Macedonian Gendarmerie in 1904.[8] He was promoted to be (supernumerary) captain in 1905,[9] captain in 1906,[10] and adjutant the same year.[11] In 1910, Gilbert was seconded for service on the Staff (until 1913)[12] and soon after became aide-de-camp to the Rt. Hon. Lord Islington, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Dominion of New Zealand.[13] Gilbert was promoted to major in 1914.[14]

On 1 January 1919,[15] Gilbert was appointed to be a Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George (CMG), for services rendered in connection with military operations in France and Flanders.
