INDEX

[84] Physical Description from Short Service Enlistment Record 1914: Height 5 feet 5 inches, Chest 37 inches (range of expansion 2.5 inches), Distinctive marks on both forearms in the form of tattoos. 3 Dec 1915 Discharged as no longer physically fit for war service. Disability - Mastoid disease internal ear deafness. Claim to Pension rejected 29 Jan 1916. In "The National Roll of the Great War", Arthur's entry reads "Private, 5th Middlesex Regiment. He volunteered in August 1914 and, after his training, served at various stations on important duties, such as guarding prisoners. He rendered valuable services, but was not successful in obtaining his transfer overseas on account of physical unfitness, and was demobilised in April 1919." However, from 1916 he continued to play his part in the war effort at home as a Private (393045) 583 (H.S.) in the Labour Corps (Employment Co.) until his demobilisation. His health, reflected in his army records, was not good. On discharge, he was suffering from bronchitis and deafness, both aggravated by service, and his degree of disability was rated at 50%.
