A fine horseman, he began in the ranks of the Reedbeds cavalry in 1877 and was commissioned lieutenant in the South Australian Mounted Rifles in 1880. He was promoted captain in 1881, major in 1885 and lieutenant-colonel in 1895. He commanded the South Australian Contingent to Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in London in 1897 and in 1900, as a colonel, he raised and took to the South African War the 4th Imperial Bushmen's Contingent. For his war service he was appointed C.B. and he was mentioned in dispatches. His eldest son, Charles Frederick, served as a trooper in South Africa. After Federation James Rowell was closely identified with the Citizen Forces and ended his service in 1910 as commander of the South Australian Brigade.

ROWELL, Sydney Fairbairn
Born 15 December 1894 at Lockleys.
Son of James Rowell an English born soldier who served as a senator 1916-1922 Mother: Zella Jane Rowell nee Williams Educated Adelaide High School. Was one of the first Cadets to enter the Royal Military College, Duntroon when it opened 1911 On 15 September 1914 Rowell and his class mates, were commissioned first Lieutenants in the First Australian Force. At the time Rowells class had not yet completed his Military training. The AIF's Commander Major General William Throsby Bridges, decided that regimental duty would rectify that deficcency, so he allotted the Duntroon Cadets as regimental officers of the AIF, rather than staff officers. The cost of this decission was high, of the 134 Commissioned in time to serve at the front, 42 were killed and 38 wounded. Cadets were posted to units being formed in their own states. So Rowell was posted to the 10th Infantry Battalion. When he discovered that the 3rd Light Horse Regiment was being commanded by his cousin, Lieutanant Colonel F.M. Rowell. Sydney obtained permission to swap places with another if his Duntroon class, Lieutanant Eric Wilkes Talbot-Smith. It was a fateful decission; Smith was fatally wounded on Anzac Day. |

Rowell contracted pneumonia and did not embark with the main body of the 3rd Light Horse Regiment. Instead he left with its first Reinforcements on HMAT Thirty Six on 21 December 1914. Rowell joined the Regiment in Heiopolis in January. The next month he broke his leg in a riding accident. For a time it looked like Rowell would again miss the embarkation of his regiment. But the intervention of his father ensured that he reached Ansac Cove with the 3rd Light Horse on 12 May 1915.
He was evacuated sick to Egypt and then Malta in July and returned to his regiment at Quinns Post in August.
Rowell was promoted to the temporary rank Captain on September 9 briefly assuming command of a squadron beforebecomming the regimental adjutant 3 days later. In November Rowell was again evacuated to Egypt, this time with typhoid fever, the disease that killed his cousin. On 20 January 1916 Rowell returned to Australia.
Because of a policy that a regular Officer once invalided to Australia, could not again be posted overseas. Rowell period of active srveice was over. He was posted, along with several other Duntroon graduates who had been invalided home to Duntroon,, as an instructor at the officers training school. This was closed in June 1917 and Rowell was posted to the staff of the 4th Military Division in Adelaide
He remained in the Military and served in ww2.
