Haynes served in the Spanish-American War as a sergeant in Company E of the 50th Iowa Volunteer Regiment, but not seeing any active battle.[1][2] Later, during World War I, he was a captain in Company D of the 168th Infantry Regiment.[1][2] He subsequently became a major in the 2nd Battalion, 168th Infantry Regiment.[1]
He was awarded the Croix De Guerre and Distinguished Service Cross for his bravery while under fire in France.[2][3]
