Following his enlistment he was posted to the 22nd Reinforcements, A Coy, and four months later, on 16 February 1917, left New Zealand to join the 2nd Auckland Coy, 4th Reserve Battalion at Sling Camp in England on 2 May. A month later Private Broady proceeded overseas, joining the 2nd Battalion, Auckland Infantry Regiment at Rouen on 26 June 1917. He was with the Regiment during Passchendaele then, on 20 November 1917, was detached to No 1 Coy, N.Z.M.G.C. (NZ Machine Gun Corps), rejoining the Battalion on 24 March 1918, from the NZ Field Ambulance.
