On 15 January, 1907, a telegram from the Commander-in-Chief reported that Foot was absent without leave, supposedly deserted. On 23 January, 1907 he was sentenced by Court Martial to six months imprisonment and to be dismissed H.M Service with disgrace following charges of desertion and fraudulent conversion. He was reported as arrested on 4 February 1906, but this was perhaps 1907.
