He was enthusiastic about enlisting, recording in his diary that he "threw 2 or 3 somersaults" in celebration. After completing his initial training, he embarked on HMAT A19 Afric on 18 October 1914 and arrived in Egypt for training on 9 December 1914. Barwick, like many soldiers, climbed the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Khufu, and considered the Pyramid of Khafre to be the more dangerous for climbing. Wikipedia
