Personal Stories
Missing in Action: Rat of Tobruk
Arthur’s family was given the news he was missing in action. He later turned up in a hospital in Europe where he did not remember who he was for a long time. He came back with a metal plate in his head. He was never the same after that and lived with his sister Delia who looked after him.
