He was one of the few West Australians to survive the infamous charge at the Nek in Aug 1915 , the same action that killed the two Harper brothers . He survived by throwing himself behind the body of a very dead New Zealander , then crawling back into the trench after dark , to discover he had three bullet holes in the crown of his hat .

Arthur received a filed commission to Lieutenant and was awarded the Military Cross in September 1918 for leading an attack on Turkish machine guns in the gardens of Damascus during the liberation of the city . After the war Arthur re-registered his pearling luggers until the decline of the industry and managed a mine at Wodgina and then went back to farming at Three Springs .
