Educated at Felsted School,〔(Old Felstedians: Military )〕 Hardy was commissioned into the Royal Marines in 1924 and qualified as Physical Training Officer.〔(Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives )〕 He served in World War II as the first Commanding Officer of 46 Commando in Normandy from 1943 and as Commander of 3 Commando Brigade in Burma and Hong Kong from 1944.〔 On 29 December 1944, 3 Commando Brigade, under Hardy's command, carried out an unopposed landing on the island of Akyab in Burma.〔Saunders 1959, p. 310.〕 Between 22 and 23 January 1945 he led a successful defence against Japanese forces at the Battle of Hill 170. After the battle, the commander of the XV Indian Corps—Lieutenant General Sir Philip Christison—stated in a special order of the day to 3rd Commando Brigade, "The Battle of Kangaw had been the decisive battle of the whole Arakan campaign and that it was won was very largely due to your magnificent defence of Hill 170."〔Moreman, p. 82.〕
