He returned in 1918 to study engineering and joined the Geological Survey of India in 1929. He geological work began with oil surveys near Karachi and later studied sapphires in the Vizag area, and studies in the Satpura Gondwana Basin. Crookshank served in the Northwest Frontier in the early 1940s but was shot in both legs and flown back to Rawalpindi. After recovering he was posted in charge of mica production in Rajputana. Crookshank married Eileen "Kitty" Mary Somerville-Lodge in 1921 at Calcutta and they had three daughters including Anne (January 3, 1927 – October 18, 2016) who became a professor of art. (en)
