Lieutenant (T) Collier was appointed in command of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 30 on 29 July, 1914 for the Test Mobilisation.[2]

On 4 January, 1915, he moved to Hecla for torpedo duties, spending most of the year with her. On 22 December, 1915 he went to Carysfort for torpedo duties with her flotilla.
