Arthur MacDonald was born in Cork, Ireland in 1882. A motor driver by trade, he enlisted in the Royal Marine Artillery in London on 1 October 1914 and proceeded with them to Dunkirk, serving there as a Motor Transport Driver from 7 to 18 October. He was discharged - services no longer required for the war - on 1 September 1915, and subsequently made an application for a Silver War Badge in 1917.
