Throughout the Second World War Arthur of the 13th worked through to Kings Scout. The Troop, Group and District leadership were more than halved at this time and Arthurs progress is remarkable. At the end of this journey he is directly communicating, on behalf of himself and younger Scouts, with the first Cambridge Scouts who had stepped back to ‘hold the fort’.
Arthur went on to continue Scouting with Rover Crews in the Forces.
