==Biography==
Arthur Wilson was born in 1887, to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Wilson worked in the City of London, and subsequently could afford his family an upper-middle-class lifestyle, as Arthur's great uncle held a peerage, and the young boy would later recall fond memories of his nanny. Arthur tried but failed at the entrance exam to Harrow School, and was educated at Meadow Bridge public school. After leaving education, he tried and failed to join the Indian Civil Service.
===World War One===
Before the outbreak of the First World War, Wilson trained as a commissioned officer in the British Army, at either the Royal Military Academy or the Royal Military College (both now the Royal Military College, Sandhurst). He was posted to the now-defunct Middlesex Regiment, and eventually rose to the rank of Captain. At some point, he also served in the Royal Artillery. He was awarded the 1914 Star Medal, the British War Medal and the Great War Victory Medal.
