In 1914 he was knighted and thereafter his patriotism began to take hold and the following year, 1915, he a published a further book of poetry - 'War Time'.

In 1933, he was created a baronet, of Bouverie Street in the City of London. Sir Owen Seaman, 1st Baronet, never married, and died on February 2nd, 1936 and was buried in Putney Vale Cemetery.
