For a year he was a master at Pocklington School, and while there he played cricket for the Yorkshire Gentlemen. In 1908 he was appointed to Haileybury College and became House master of "Batten." He was appointed 2nd Lieut., Haileybury College O.T.C., 16 Nov. 1910, and, volunteering on the outbreak of war, was gazetted Lieut. to the 9th Warwicks, 4 Sept. 1914. He left for Dardanelles in H.M.S. Royal Edward, June, 1915, and was killed in action in the front trenches at Gallipoli, 22 July, 1915; _unm._ He was buried in Trolley Ravine, on the edge of the Ægean Sea. A wooden cross was put up by the men of his regt. Col. Palmer, who was killed two days later and buried beside him, wrote: "He was one of my best officers. He was always thinking of the welfare of his men and was much loved by his comrades, who could not fail to appreciate his unselfish devotion to their interests." Major Gordon, who succeeded Col. Palmer in command of the regt., wrote: "Mr. Grundy was a splendid officer, energetic, capable, cheerful and brave." His influence with his men is illustrated by the following extract from a letter: "He does everything for us and we would do anything for him." A brother officer concludes his letter: "Let it be some consolation that his end was worthy of his life and that he left behind him an example that we should like to follow." The Master of Haileybury College wrote of him: "He was a keen scholar; he was a fine athlete; but what we loved him for was the boyish laugh, the unfailing cheeriness, the constant goodness of his heart. He had that real charm of 'personality' which is given to but few men; but it is perhaps the best of God's good gifts. I cannot put my feelings better than in the words one wrote to me: 'All the sunshine seems to have gone out with Grundy's death.'"
