After spending two years in Waikato, he returned to Auckland (to Bycroft and Co.). In 1896 he commenced sawmilling. White was a member of the Auckland City Council (1895-1900), and the hospital board (1895-97). As a volunteer he served in the engineer cadets from 1871. (Sub-lieut, 1872; lieut, 1874; captain, 1875). In 1882 he became a sergeant in the Auckland City Guards; three years later captain in the Gordon Rifles; in 1895 lieutenant in the Victoria Rifles.
