Arthur Peter Moot was born in April 1879 at Cropley Grove, Lidgate and by 1911 he was living at Porthcawl, south Wales with his wife and children. With the outbreak of the Great War, Moot enlisted in the Army Service Corps at Neath and served in France with No. 2 Advanced Horse Transport Depot from 2 August 1915. Moot remained in France until 4 January 1917, when returned home for hospital treatment for myalgia, also having spent ten weeks in hospital in France with stomach pain and vomiting. He was discharged in June 1917, the result of his exposure in the trenches in November 1916, which caused a 50% debility (Silver War Badge). By 1939 he was living with his daughter in Oxford and died at 145 Oxford Road, Cowley in March 1972, a month short of his 93rd birthday.
