Frank Edward Arthur grew up in Suran Terrace in Semaphore, South Australia. He attended Alberton Public School, and after school he became a Dairyman and worked as a Labourer. He was 19 ½ years old when he enlisted in the AIF.
He enlisted in the Light Horse Regiment on the date of 12 June 1915, at Queenstown. He embarked on 14/9/15.
He served at Gallipoli, Egypt, and on the Western Front.
He got into trouble once, in July 1916 when he was caught without a pass, and he was drunk. He was fined in hours, meaning he had to serve an extra 96 hours. He was promoted to Driver on 8/7/17.
He was diagnosed with Trachoma, on 9/9/16. Later in the war he got an infection, he was admitted to hospital on the 19/3/18 staying until 6/5/18.
He was discharged from the AIF, due to being medically unfit to continue work due to his Trachoma and returned to Australia 8/8/18.
Tragically he was in a motorcycle crash at Port Adelaide on 8/10/26, with a fractured rib and head injuries. Due to this, he sadly passed away 6 days later on 14/10/26, with a fractured rib, head injuries and pneumonia.
