Arthur Limnell Robinson died in France on February 25th, 1916, from wounds received in action. He was 34 years of age and joined H.M. Forces in the summer of 1915 as 2nd Lieutenant in the Northamptonshire Regiment. Less than two months before his death he transferred to the Tunnelling Section of the Royal Engineers.
He was a student at the Royal School of Mines and obtained his A.R.S.M. in 1903. At the end of the same year he went to Eastern Siberia and remained there for two years in the capacity of assistant engineer to the Nerchinsk Gold Co. For three years he held the post of inspector of mines in the Federated Malay States; and when the tin deposits of Northern Nigeria came into prominence, he proceeded thither and spent the remaining years of his professional career, from 1910 to 1915; in that country, with the exception of two intervals of about six months, when he was home on leave.
Mr. Robinson was admitted to Studentship of the Institution in 1903, and was transferred to Associateship in 1909.
