Travelled to Egypt as one of the 16th reinforcement draft for the 16th Battalion, but on 20 May 1916 was earmarked for the 48th Battalion.
Trained in Egypt prior to travelling to France on the HMT Huntspill, disembarking 14 Jun 1916 at Marseilles and joining the 4th Division Base Depot. Formally taken on strength by the 48th Battalion on 9 Jun 1916, the day they left Marseilles for Hazebrouck in northern France, 30 men to each cattle truck.
During the attack on Bullecourt 13 months later, he sustained a GSW to his right, upper arm, but initially was able to remain on duty after his wound was attended to. One of 435 casualties in his battalion that day. Subsequently he sought medical attention for his arm (21 July) from the 12th Australian Field Ambulance as his hand was by then paralysed.
Seen by the 12th Australian Field Ambulance on 21 Jul 1917, he was admitted to 6th General Hospital in Rouen on 24 Jul 1917, and was embarked the same day on HMHS Carisbrook Castle for England where he was admitted to the 1st London General Hospital.
Following treatment he was transferred to the 1st Australian Auxiliary Hospital at Harefield on 28 Aug 1917, and on 4 Sep 1917 given a period of leave in England, and as he was unfit for further action, sent home to Australia, and discharged at 5th Military District on 10 Apr 1918.

Despite his wounds Arthur remained an effective bowler in the South Suburban Cricket Association in the 1920s (e.g. 7 for 26 against Melville in Nov 1921. In March 1915 he was a member of the Kelmscott cricket team that defeated Queens Park, taking 5 for 55; and in May of the same year he was one of the best players in the Armadale football team that lost to Queens Park.
