Bower went to Harrow School in 1874 and was later commissioned into the Kerry Militia, from where he transferred to the King's Royal Rifle Corps in 1881. He served in the Egyptian campaign of 1882 and fought at Tel-el-Mahuta, Kassassin and Tel-el-Kebir.

For these services he was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in 1897. In 1898 he was appointed Chief Constable of the North Riding of Yorkshire. He served in this role until his death, with a break in 1914–1916 when he returned to the Army as Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General in Egypt. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1920 civilian war honours and was promoted to Knight Commander (KBE) in the 1925 Birthday Honours.
