His first encounter with Japan came when he was still an Edinburgh schoolboy. His school announced a government program for volunteers who wanted to learn difficult Oriental languages, but he was too young then to apply. Three years later — not yet 18 but in the army and, with infantry and artillery training, posted to India — he put in for a crash course in Japanese and was accepted.<sup id="cite_ref-jt2004_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jt2004-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The School of Japanese Studies had been opened in an old mansion in Simla, and it later moved to Karachi.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The program had strong courses in Japanese language, but nothing in Japanese history or the nature of Japanese society.

Two of his specialized courses there resulted in two monograph publications: "Origins of the Russo-Japanese War" and "Japan's Struggle with Internationalism".
