During World War I, Lynch volunteered for the New British Army. He raised a private 10th Batt. Royal Munster Fusiliers and was given the rank of Colonel, although he and his unit never saw active front service.

At the end of the war, Lynch chose to stand as a Labour candidate in newly created Battersea South for the 1918 General election. He finished second to the Unionist.

He had qualified as a physician many years earlier, began to practise medicine in London, at Haverstock Hill. He died in London on 25 March 1934.
