As a soldier he was stranded on the beach at Dunkirk as bullets rained down from enemy aircraft. Arthur was faced with a tricky decision - Should he leave his prized accordion behind or attempt to take it with him? Arthur survived the ordeal but his accordion wasn't so lucky! After returning to safety, he bought another accordion to entertain the troops at air bases and army barracks all over the country. He has performed with Bebe Daniels, Ben Lyon, Reginald Dixon, George 'I'm proper poorly' Williams, Neville King and the legendary Gracie Fields in 1941. |
