Archibald was born at Portland in 1892 and was the second son of Peter Mullins, and was educated at the Lithgow Public School. He joined the clerical staff of the Sydney Morning Herald in September 1911.
Enlisting in May, 1915, he was attached to the 20th Battalion as a stretcher-bearer, and went to Gallipoli. After a few weeks' service there he had an attack of enteric fever, and was sent to the hospital in Malta, and thence to England. After recovering he proceeded to France and later took part in the operations at Pozieres, Ypres, Bullecourt, Lagnicourt, Villers Bretonneux and others, being almost constantly in action. He was wounded in May 1916. He remained on service till the armistice.
