The following photos were bought by
Russell Ridout on Ebay in 2017. They were from an album and was
named as Capt. Carpenter, which is presumed to be Arthur Boville
Carpenter.
Arthur Boville Carpenter was born in 31 March 1888 in
Tottenham, the son of Arthur Caleb Carpenter, a law clerk, and
his wife Mary Alice (nee Collins).
In the 1911 census
Arthur is living with his parents and is also a law clerk like
his father.
He served in the 2/25th line of the
battalion, but was attached to the 4th London Rgt. and served in
France, where he may well have been wounded as his medal card
shows that he applied for the Silver War
Badge which was rejected.
His medal card shows that
he served in France, but the additional information that he was
attached to the 4th London Rgt. was recorded on the Officer's
medal rolls for the 25th London Bn.
In 1933 he married
Beatrice Lavinia Levasseur. They are both listed in the 1939
register at 33 Cranbourne Drive, Pinner, Middlesex. He is listed
as a solicitor.
He died in Pinner in 1971. There does not
appear to be any children from the marriage.
