He didn't. He was a POW from June till November of 1918. Released and repatriated back to England. He took leave and was released from service in the spring of 1919 while he was back in the States. (He had to go to Canada to finalize his paperwork.) The RAF tunic is the "green" RAF uniform that was introduced in the spring/summer of 1918 when the RFC and the RNAF were combined to form the RAF. The 'green" uniform was phased out by 1919.
