Bolton commanded the 8th Battalion early on in the First World War, including during the landing and initial battles of the Gallipoli Campaign. Bolton's Ridge on the right flank of Anzac Cove was named after him. He returned to Australia due to ill health in September 1915, was elected the inaugural National President of the RSSILA, and served as a Nationalist Senator from Victoria from 1917 to 1923.
