He transferred to the Royal Corps of Signals in the 1920s. Between 1928 and 1930 he was ADC to the Marquess of Willingdon, Governor General of Canada. He was promoted Captain in 1916 and Major in 1919 and retired in 1933. He then entered politics and was Member of Parliament (MP) for Totnes from 1935 to 1955. He rejoined the Army during the Second World War and reached the rank of Brigadier.He was made Deputy Lieutenant of Devon in 1952, knighted in 1956, and became High Sheriff of Devon in 1958.He lived at Ashcombe Tower, Devon, situated on a spur of Little Haldon above the stream known as the Dawlish Water; the tower was built in 1833 as an observatory. Ashcombe Tower house was built in 1934 for Sir Ralph and Lady Rayner, who was a member of the Courtauld family. Brian O'Rorke was chosen as the architect for the project on the grounds that he had never designed such a house before and would therefore be open to Lady Rayner's ideas. At Ashcombe Tower, the Arts and Crafts style meets Art Deco.As one of the first British officers to enter Adolf Hitler's Berlin bunker, the Führerbunker in World War II, Sir Ralph took a red telephone as a souvenir and used it at Ashcombe Tower.".
