  • Notes 
    • After graduating from McDonald Consolidated School in Middleton, Arthur joined the RCAF and served overseas in the Second World War as a flight sergeant air gunner. He survived when his plane was shot down and escaped capture, eventually returning to Canada where he went into training as a pilot. In 1945, he retired from the RCAF. At a ceremony at Government House, Halifax, he was awarded the DFN by Lt.-Gov. J.A.D.McCurdy. He was a member of the Caterpillar Club, an organization formed by those whose planes were shot down during the Second World war and managed to elude the enemies. Following several years of employment with the Maritime Life Insurance Company, he re-enlisted in the RCAF, serving many years on various bases throughout Canada and retiring as a major. He then took employment with Canex as a buyer, and transferred to Lahr, West Germany, where he served as purchasing agent for almost four years. Prior to his death, he was a partner of Ottawa Travel. He was cremated in Capitol Memorial Gardens.
