1917年11月、オールディントンはロイヤル・レスターシャー連隊11大隊に入隊し、その後王立サセックス連隊の少尉に任命された[19]。彼は通信将校そして臨時大尉として戦争を終え、1919年2月に復員した[7]。彼は戦争から完全に回復したことはないのかもしれない。なぜなら、彼は自身の戦場での経験について、選集『戦争のイメージ』と『欲望のイメージ』(1919年)のなかに書き残したが、それらは新しい憂鬱さに満ちていたのである。彼は自分の詩人としての才能に落胆しつつ、戦争を終えた[5]。『亡命とその他の詩(Exile and Other Poems)』(1923)もトラウマの過程を扱った。戦争物語の選集、『栄光への道筋(Roads to Glory)』は1930年に出版された。 ここから先、彼は批評家や伝記作家として知られるようになった。
