He exhibited work at the Vancouver Art Gallery in the annual B.C. Artists exhibitions in 1935, 1937 and 1939.
He enlisted in the British Navy again at the start of World War Two. He was killed in a naval battle in the Mediterranean, when the cruiser Southampton was damaged and sunk. He held the rank of Lieutenant-Commander, and his brother was Captain Harold Balfour, British Undersecretary of State for Air.
An obituary article noted that he had won the Croix de Guerre while acting as liaison officer with French forces at the fall of Narvik in 1940, for "standing firm and resolute under very heavy bombardment and advancing under heavy firing."
