Afterwards, he joined the Royal Artillery in 1844. During his military career, he also became interested in politics. His first attempt for parliament in 1857 was unsuccessful, but later in 1859 he was elected as Member of Parliament for Harwich. In 1863, Jervis-White-Jervis was elected as the deputy chairman of the Great Eastern Railway, where he was able to make several much needed changes. He remained in politics until 1880.
