I believe Gandhi fought in Boer wars. He was not a pacifist then. Probably he thought fighting for the Empire would make Indians get equal treatment with the British. That did not happen. His resistance followed. This non-violent resistance proves one thing. He did not hate the British. He just wanted to knock them into consciousness. That he did well.
If he fought in the WWI that is probably an extension of his hopes of getting equality for Indians.
