Jeans began his career as a clinical assistant in the Manchester Cancer Hospital. Jeans was a witness to the American conquest of Manila during the Spanish American War. There he acquired a knowledge of the treatment of small-bore bullet wounds. This served him well during the Anglo-Boer War. After initially treating the wounded brought down from the front, Jeans was landed on 1 February 1900 and advanced with the Naval Brigade on the Orange Free State. After three months he returned on board. Jeans used his experience in the Boer War to partially write and edit <em>Naval Brigades in the South African War, 1899 & 1900 (1901) Now back in the UK, Jeans was assigned to Pembroke Dockyard on 10 October 1900, where he remained for nearly two years.
