He served with Steele’s Scouts during the 1885 North West Rebellion.
In 1901, he married Margaret Watson (?-?, niece of Rosetta Watson Carr) of Calgary, Alberta. They had two children: Henry Maxwell Inglis (1891-?) and Marjorie Inglis (1893-?). He was a member of the Adanac Club, Carleton Club, Manitoba Club, Jockey Club, Conservative party, and Presbyterian church. His recreations included shooting, horse racing, fishing, and hunting.
During the First World War, he served as a Captain with the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
