Lucy returned to India with her new husband and they together commanded the Indian Territory, taking on the names Ruhani and Raj-Singh respectively. They were appointed to France and Switzerland in 1896.
Lucy claims a place among Army songwriters for "Keep On Believing". Upon her husband's death in 1909, she served as territorial commander in Denmark, Norway, and South America before her retirement in 1934. For her accomplishments she was admitted to the Order of the Founder. "Commissioner Lucy" was promoted to Glory in 1953 at the age of 85.
