As Assistant Veterinary Officer, he travelled throughout South Australia, writing extensively in the local press on veterinary matters he encountered. He joined the Australian Army Veterinary Corps and served with the AIF during WWI mostly in the Middle East. After rejoining the South Australian Department after the War, in 1924 Murray-Jones became Chief Veterinary Officer for the Western Australian Department of Agriculture. He worked to establish the same connection with farming community that he had enjoyed in South Australia where he was highly regarded. His controversial dismissal in 1930, ostensibly because of the parlous condition of the State's finances, was widely condemned in agricultural and veterinary communities. Thereafter Murray-Jones worked in private practice. 1911 1911 Education - Licentiate of Veterinary Science, University of Melbourne 1912 1912 Education - Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc), University of Melbourne 1912 1914 Career position - Assistant Veterinary Officer, South Australian Department of Agriculture 1913 1913 Military service - Militia, Army Veterinary Corps 1914 1920 Military service - First World War.
