Although he obtained the rank of Brigadier-General in the British Army Blakeney had only limited involvement in combat. As a lieutenant with the Royal Engineers he was involved in the 1898 Battle of Omdurman.〔(Sudan Despatches )〕 He had been one of six subalterns working on the Sudan Military Railway under Percy Girouard.〔A.H.M. Kirk-Greene, ("Canada in Africa: Sir Percy Girouard, Neglected Colonial Governor" ), p. 215〕 During the Second Boer War he commanded the 3rd Balloon Section of the Royal Engineers in one of the later examples of the use of military ballooning.〔Anne Perkins, ''A Very British Strike: 3 – 12 May 1926'', Macmillan, 2006, p. 30〕
Following his service with the Royal Engineers Blakeney followed a career in railway administration. In 1906 he was appointed deputy general manager of the Egyptian State Railways and was promoted to full manager in 1919, a role he held until 1923.〔Robert Benewick, ''Political Violence and Public Order'', Allan Lane, 1969, p. 32〕
