We regret to advise of the death of Firefighter Sergeant Frank Arthur, CD (Ret'd) of Mission BC, on 16 August 2010, at the age of 81, at the Royal Columbian Hospital. 

Frank was a veteran of the Second World War and a proud member of the British 6^th Airborne Division. He served in Palestine and East Africa, where he was wounded in action. On his discharge from a military hospital, he served in the United Kingdom as a firefighter. Immigrating to Canada, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force as a Flight Sergeant and worked in aircraft fire rescue. Frank served at a number of Air Force bases across Canada. 

Frank's second career in uniform was with the Brampton and Georgetown Police departments. Retiring as Staff Sergeant, he moved to Mission BC where he was an active member of the Blue Knights, Royal Canadian Legion, Canadian and British Airborne Associations and the Salvation Army. 

Funeral Arrangements were private.
