When the First World War began, Isaac enlisted in the 7th Australian Light Horse Regiment in October 1914. He took part in the Gallipoli campaign, and after receiving a severe shrapnel wound in the left hand, was sent to England for three months.

After recovering he was sent to Egypt where, after being severely wounded again, died 12 August 1916.

Isaac’s name is listed on the Australian War Memorial Roll of Honour.

He was buried at 2 Xantara War Memorial Cemetery, Egypt.
