Reference various issues of the Indian Army List, Hamir Singh had first enrolled into the Indian Territorial Force on 10th October 1927, and was commissioned as a Jemadar on, 1 April 1933. With the outbreak of the Second World War the Provincial Battalions were formed, and as such the 11th Battalion, 4th Bombay Grenadiers were embodied for 'War Service' on, 4 September 1939. Hamir Singh would have received his Efficiency Medal prior to 1942, as the unit was restyled in 1943, as, 1st Battalion, The Ajmer Regiment, and the unit was converted to a battalion of the regular Indian Army. Coinciding with this, Hamir Singh was granted a direct commission as a Jemadar into the regular Indian Army. By April 1945, Hamir Singh is shown as a war-substantive Subedar Major, and was one of the four seniormost Viceroy’s Commissioned Officer's in the Ajmer Regiment. During the Second World War, only one VCO held the appointment of Subadar-Major in any infantry battalion of the British Indian Army. In August 1943, following its services in the Bombay Presidency, 1st Battalion, Amjer Regiment was moved to Madras for similar duties in port defence work. However, a more active role then followed, when in September 1944 it was transferred for service on the North West Frontier of India, serving first with the Bannu Brigade and then with the Wana Brigade. The Amjer Regiment was disbanded in September 1946
