War Service
Enlisted part time in the CMF at Bunbury on 3 Apr 1941 and he was allocated to the 10th Light Horse Regiment which was responsible for patrolling coastal areas. Arthur was discharged from the Army on 19 May 1943, and enlisted in the Navy on 20 May 1943 where he served as a signalman aboard a range of ships, some for very brief periods.
On 11 Oct 1944 Arthur joined HMAS Wilcannia which at the time was moored at No 7 Buoy at Garden Island, Sydney. On 19 Oct 1944 they sailed for New Guinea, calling at Milne Bay and Lae, before Arthur left them at Madang on 1 Nov 1945. The following day he joined the crew of HMAS Bungaree, remaining with her only until 17 Dec 1944 when he was transferred to HMAS Ping Wo. His stay with the Ping Wo was also brief, leaving the ship on 25 Jan 1945 for HMAS Barcoo, another short term posting of only a month. While with the Barcoo it left New Guinea for Sydney for a refit.
Arthur joined the crew of HMAS Kyabra on 27 Feb 1945, remaining with them until 26 Aug 1945 when he joined the crew of HMAS Toowoomba. With the exception of the period 15 Dec 1945 - 25 Jan 1946 when he was a crew member of HMAS Geraldton, Arthur remained with Toowoomba until he was demobilised on 10 Apr 1946.
