Arthur's parents were William John McKillop and Margaret Jane Hamilton, farmers at Redcliffe. Arthur attended Humpybong State School. At the time of his enlistment in January 1916 Arthur was a butcher and on his arrival in Egypt found himself for a time the only butcher for the Australian Forces in the Egyptian Desert. Arthur returned home and married Margaret McGahey in 1924. The couple had four children and ran a successful dairy business.
