Notes
The Roll lists his address as 108 Lincoln Road, Walton, and states that Arthur was entitled to the 1914 Star medal. (It also recorded the death of his brother Albert). The Roll inaccurately records that Arthur died on 9/2/1915.
(CWGC records that Private A Vines, regimental number 9099, died aged 24 on 9/1/1915 serving in 2nd Battalion Northamptonshre Regiment, and is now buried in grave III.H.6 at the Royal Irish Rifles Graveyard at Laventie in France, having been reinterred after the War. They record him as the son of George and Elizabeth Vines of 106 Lincoln Road, Walton, Peterborough.
There are two entries for Arthur in the Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects; one records that he died of wounds on 9/1/1915, the other states that he was killed in action on 9/1/1915; both entries record that his father George was his legatee. The Medal Rolls record that Arthur went to France on 6/11/1914, and that he died of wounds on 9/1/1915. In the Army's published casualty list, he was recorded as having died on wounds.
The birth of Arthur Vines was registered in Peterborough District in 1890. On the 1901 census he was living with his parents at Humber Cottages, Lincoln Road, Walton, Peterborough; his place of birth was given as Walton.
On 6/2/1915 the Peterborough Advertiser reported that Mr George Vines of Walton had received news that his son Private A Vines had been killed in action in France. The newspaper reported that Arthur had been serving in the Army for 5 years; he had arrived in England from Egypt in October 1914, and had gone to the Front after 48 hours leave).
