Margaret Frood, family historian writes in 2018
The loss of his brother Cecil, and the uncertainty as to his fate, also deeply affected Arthur. His service records reveal that he had been articled to his father as a clerk, but in less than a month of war breaking out, he had joined the Charterhouse Rifle Corps, being swiftly promoted to Corporal, and Commissioned in January of 1915, attached to the 18/Royal Fusiliers. In November of that year, while he was serving with 11/The Essexs. a shrapnel bullet caused a serious head wound including excessive blood loss. He was hospitalised for over a month as "unfit for duty", subsequently attending several Medical Boards in January and again in March to assess his progress. At the Medical Board before which he appeared in May of that year, the comment was made that he was "doing well until heard his brother reported missing in Mesopotamia". Each Medical Board assessed him as still unfit for duty. In July he requested permission to rejoin his unit, which was refused and refused again in October. In November he was recommended as a Railway Transport Officer, once he was deemed fit for duty. That same month, he was granted an annuity because of the severity of his head wound.
In 1915, before his posting abroad, Arthur had married Marie Louise Mourilyan and the following year, their first child, a daughter, was born. In 1917, shortly before the exchange of letters between the Army Council and Cecil's father, Marie gave birth to a son, whom they named Arthur Cecil Steuart. Electoral rolls and other documents reveal that in later life he went under the name Cecil Steuart. He was almost certainly named after his uncle.
