On arrival back in England Lomax was treated in a nursing home in London, where he received palliative care for the next five months
before dying of his wounds in his 60th year on the 10 April 1915.
His body was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium, and its ashes were buried at Aldershot Military Cemetery, later to be joined by his wife's under a private headstone.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle later wrote that Lomax's early death in the war had deprived the British High Command of a talented General, which "was a brain injury to the Army and a desperately serious one."
