Meyer was the studious sort, having spent the bulk of his long career with the German army at teaching institutions, notably the Haupt-Kadetten-Anstalt, Kadettenhaus-Potsdam, and was commander of Kadettenhaus-Naumburg. By 1914, Meyer had been in the army for 37 years and was winding down for retirement, but alas, destiny had other plans. The completion of the Great War saw Meyer as a Generalmajor and he left the service. Sadly, his life after 1926 is unknown.
