  • Records in the UK National Archives show his home address was Thornwood, Epping, Essex with next of kin Mrs G. Neale, his mother. His occupation prior to WWI was Mechanical and Electrical Engineer, and his initial service during the Great War was in the Army Service Corps Motor Transport as a probationary 2nd Lieutenant.

On 1 April 1918, the RFC merged with the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) to become the Royal Air Force, subsequently Neale's official rank became Flying Officer and he was an assistant Instructor at No.1 Training Depot Station. During his time with the RFC, Neale met an Australian aviator Herbert "Jim" Larkin, with whom he was later associated. After WWI ended, Neale continued with an aviation career and was issued with UK Civilian Pilots Licence No.171. In the early 1920s he set up the Essex Aviation Company with an Avro 504 at Ashingdon, Essex. At this stage he was still an officer in the RAF Reserve, which he relinquished in April 1926, after he had arrived in Australia.
