His age at enlistment was 14, but he had given year of birth as 1876 instead of 1880. He served in India, South Africa and travelled between England and Europe with troops during WW1. In 1921 Arthur returned to Australia and moved on to a soldier settler’s farm at Griffith around 1923. Source: IFHAA Roll of Honour and Military Register
