M.M. London Gazette 17 December 1917.

Arthur Harris was born in Deptford, London, in 1888 and attested for the Kent Royal Garrison Artillery Militia at New Cross, London, on 6 February 1907. Transferring to the Royal Garrison Artillery, he was serving with 102nd Company in Malta in 1911, and saw active service with 393rd Siege Battery during the Great War on the Western Front from August 1917. Awarded the Military Medal later that year, most likely for his gallantry during the 3rd Battle of Ypres, he was admitted to the 64th Field Ambulance suffering from a gunshot wound to his left leg on 8 October 1917.
