Arthur David Musgrave

Arthur David Musgrave (‘Muzzy’) was the son of Sir Anthony Musgrave, Governor of Queensland. He was commissioned in the Royal Artillery on 21 October 1893. By the outbreak of war his uneventful career found him in the rank of major.

In October 1914 he was sent to France, where he later commanded XL Brigade RFA (October-December 1915). He was then sent to Mesopotamia, where he was later CRA 7th (Meerut) Division (April 1917-April 1918), winning a DSO. He returned to the Western Front in June 1918 as CRA 52nd (Lowland) Division TF, which had itself been re-deployed from Palestine only in April.

Brigadier-General Musgrave was wounded on 2 August 1918, but was able to return to his command two days later, retaining his position until 15 October 1918.
