Add my storyBiography contributed by Faithe Jones
Eldest son of Mr. Daniel Livingstone of Bombala, Arthur was born at Cooma in 1894, and educated at the Bombala Public School. He was a member of the Clerical Staff of the Sydney Morning Herald, which he joined at the beginning of 1913.
Volunteering in September, 1915, he sailed at the end of that year with reinforcements for the 5th Field Artillery as a Driver. After a period of training in Egypt he arrived in France in March, 1916, and was engaged mostly in the Ypres and Armentieres sectors, being for some weeks almost continually under fire. He was incapacitated for a week or two on account of a slight wound, and, aupon rejoining his battery, participated in the battle of Passchendaele, and fell in that action on October 12, 1917.
