Arthur's uncle, James Jukes (his mother's brother), signed on to RMS Titanic as a Greaser in Southampton. He stated that his previous ship was the Oceanic. His wages were £6-10s per month and he gave his address as Moor Green in West End, Southampton.
Jukes died in the sinking. His body, if recovered, was never identified. He had reportedly been preparing for marriage but the identity of his fiancee is unknown.
Arthur is on the list of those who attended the 23H reunion in 1959.
