Biography contributed by Lyn Fisher

This is a work in progress. Arthur was born and raised in Mount Barker SA. He was one of 12 children to John and Talitha Cook. From the family there were 4 boys, 8 girls. Arthur was born 3rd.

On Arthur's service docs there is mention of marriage on 3 Sep 1918, whilst on leave. The bride was Christina and they were married in Dalkeith, Scotland. Hopefully, more to follow. Lyn Fisher
