Arthur married Allene around 1919. He was father to Corine, Anita, Delores, and Arthur Baca, Jr.
Arthur was with the 8th Infantry Division, a mechanized division, during World War I. The 8th went by the nicknames the "Golden Arrow Division" and later, the "Pathfinder Division." Both monikers were born of the vertical gold arrow in the unit's shoulder patch. However, many soldiers referred to the wearers of an 8th patch as "Crazy Eights." The 8th Infantry Division was formed in early January 1918 for service during World War I. By the time the 8th Division had trained up and deployed to France in November of the same year, the fighting was over.
