On the outbreak of the start of World War, the then Major Wiseman became the Army’s first chaplain overseas service with the Canadian forces with the 2nd Battalion Royal Canadian Engineers. At the time the battalion was involved in training exercises just north of Toronto but were soon drafted to Great Britain. Clarence and Janet Wiseman were parted for five years. After two years as chaplain, Clarence Wiseman received orders to resign his military commission, and was appointed as senior representative for The Salvation Army Canadian War Services, with headquarters in Cockspur Street, just off Trafalgar Square.
When the war ended in June 1945, Clarence Wiseman returned to Canada and after a brief furlough he and Mrs. Wiseman were appointed as leaders of the Army's work in Newfoundland where they served for more than eight years.
