 He edited "The Irish Sword", the journal of the Military History Society of Ireland (1949-1972) and he became Professor of History at the National University of Ireland (UCG) in 1958.
 He wrote primarily on military history, but also about Galway City, ships, historical figures in fiction, Robert Louis Stevenson and he even created a cartoon strip for the "Cork Examiner".
 His work on the Scots mercenary forces in Ireland (1565-1603) established him as "one of the leading Irish scholars of his generation."

 Upon his return from war, he published a history of Guadeloupe, a text which was used to teach several generations of Guadeloupean school children.
 In 1919, he founded the monthly Le Monde Colonial (The Colonial World) which echoed W.E.B. Dubois' and the first Pan-African Congress' denunciations of the racism inherent to European colonialism.
