He served as a soldier between 1939 and 1946. Posted to the Indian Army, his first experience of sub-continental military life was an early parade and then a breakfast of gin extending to lunch. He was particularly fond of the Ghurkhas whom he commanded, and whom he regarded as wonderful people but distinctly dangerous. He was demobilized as Captain Hawkins. He and his wife Stephanie lived in an isolated farmhouse outside Oxford, producing daughters. Hawkins was seduced by promises of sunshine and money and arrived to start teaching at Sydney Law School in 1961. Hawkins settled with his family near the beach at Manly, and he lived and swam there until the end of his life.
