M.C. London Gazette 26 July 1918:
‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On one occasion, when his Colonel had been killed, he showed great coolness and skill while withdrawing the battalion to a new position. Later, as Adjutant, his personal reconnaissances were of great value to his commanding officer; and throughout, his fine example did much to steady and encourage the men.’

M.C. Second Award Bar London Gazette 3 June 1918.
Arthur Forde Nutting was born in Wandsworth on 30 March 1890 and was educated at Sherborne School. A Chartered Accountant by profession, he was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the 11th Battalion, King’s Royal Rifle Corps on 18 December 1914, and was promoted temporary Lieutenant and Quartermaster on 30 June 1915. He served with the 11th Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 21 July 1915, and was wounded at Ypres on 14 February 1916. Promoted Lieutenant on 3 August 1916, he was wounded a second time at Guillemont on 31 August 1916, before being appointed Adjutant on 8 October 1916, and was promoted Captain on 24 February 1917. Wounded for a third time at Rifle Wood on 31 March 1918, he was awarded both the Military Cross and a Second Award Bar (and unusually the Bar was Gazetted before the M.C.!), with the M.C. being awarded for operations during the German Spring Offensive. He was wounded for a fourth time at Le Catelet on 5 October 1918, and was released in 1920.
Resuming his profession as a Chartered Accountant, upon the outbreak of the Second World War Nutting was commissioned into the Royal Army Pay Corps as a Lieutenant on 15 April 1940, and ended the War as a temporary Major and Staff Paymaster. In October 1946 he signed up for a short service commission and retired on 1 October 1950 as an Honorary Major. He died in Norwich on 10 July 1971.
