He died on 10 June 1943 aged 25. He was buried at the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery in Thailand. Kanchanaburi is about 130 Km NW of Bangkok. It is probable that he died while working as a prisoner-of-war on the notorious Burma-Siam railway.

The CWGC site does not record any family connections. However, the birth of an Arthur D Pluck was recorded in the 4th quarter of 1917 in Linton. His mother's maiden name was Jacobs, like the Plucks, a long established family in Linton. He had a brother, Harold C Pluck, born in 1913, a sister, Nellie V born in 1920 and a brother Wilfred H born in 1921.

Maud Jacobs married in the Linton RD in Q4 1910. The relevant page in Free BMD has Thomas Cracknell, Maud Jacobs and Edith Kidman on it. The fourth person is missing; this could be Arthur's father whose name has been omitted from the index, something that happens from time to time.

Nothing else is known about him at present.
