After training in Melbourne they left together on the transport Surada on 6th February 1915 with 59 military personnel, en route to Fremantle. At Fremantle HMAT Surada took on additional troops and their mounts, embarking from there on 17th February with 205 men and 230 horses. They were were brought up in a family of seven sons and seven daughters in the rural town of Charleston in the Adelaide Hills on the Onkaparinga River. The family were respected pioneers of the district, being amongst the first to take up land there in 1837. They were known for their industry and enterprise in agriculture growing record crops, establishing lucrative dairy operations and exhibiting award winning horsemanship. At the time of their enlistment Arch was 24 and farming at Charleston, younger brother Clive was 19 and working as a clerk in the Postmaster General’s Department (PMG). He would go on to pursue what became an illustrious career in the public service after the war. |

Both Arch and Clive landed at Gallipoli late in May 1915 and remained there until evacuation on the night of the 19th December. Both men returned to Egypt to rejoin their brigade which had become part of the ANZAC Mounted Division, instrumental in its defence of the Suez Canal and driving the Turks back across the Sinai Desert. Clive, with three years cadet experience behind him at attestation, was promoted to Corporal in 1916.
Arch and Clive did not come away from the war unscathed. Both were wounded during the course of the campaign in Palestine, with Clive debilitated by a gunshot wound to his elbow. He was demobilised in October 1917. Arch too was wounded and affected by shell shock, remaining in service until his return to Australia in 1919. Both Arch and Clive had served with distinction. After the war the more reserved Arch returned to dairy farming, also practicing as a Justice of the Peace on the local court circuit.
