Martin earned four wartime decorations, including the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart, each with an Oak Leaf Cluster, in World War I. He served with the 109th and 110th Infantry Regiments in five major campaigns in France from July 15, 1917, to April 25, 1919, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel.
Martin was far from being ready to retire, however, and many state Republicans were looking to General Martin to run for governor to succeed Arthur James.
Martin finally retired from public life to his home in Washington, Pa. where he concentrated on directing the Dun-Mar Oil and Gas Company as company president and writing his autobiography, Always Be On Time (1959), a title that revealed Martin's attitude about his expectation of punctuality.
