| Soldier |
- He served in the 1st Battalion Dorset Regiment, regimental number 16702.
By the time Arthur would have arrived to the 1st Battalion they would have been attached to the 32nd Division, which was fighting in France and was involved in both the 1st and 2nd battles of the Somme and the pursuit of the Germans after the battles of the Hindenburg line.
A medical record index shows he got trenchfoot (Erythema Permico) and was handled by No 3 Clearing station 19th January 1917 and was passed backup the line for treatment. Not all medical records were retained so this was a lucky find.
Alan Mullins says he was "full of shrapnel". He was awarded the Victory Medal and the British War Medal plus the Silver War Badge (B/165715), the badge roll gives the cause of discharge as xvi Wounds 2a.

Taken from The Inn at the Crossroad by Patrick Carroll
In 1939 the tenancy was taken over by Arthur Mullins, who had previously kept a grocer’s shop at 16 South Street. He remained landlord until 1962.
Ownership of the Railway Tavern remained with Crewkerne United Breweries and its successors, ensuring that the house received one of Mr. A.S.’s scouting visits for Ushers in 1955. His report reads: “ License: Beer & Wine [the inn received a full license in 1957]; Licensee: A. Mullins (unseen); Trade (to 30/9/’54) 81 barrels. A dreary little house. 2 unserviced bars. Skittle alley.”
And against A.S.’s assessment there is considerable photographic and other evidence suggesting that Mr. Mullins presided over a jolly – if modest – local pub whose clientele were notably loyal to the house.
