Early Life and Career
Although born in Chile, Jewell was educated in England, at Chigwell., and Felsted (1902–05)
Jewell first appeared in first-class cricket in South Africa, when he played five games for Orange Free State in the Currie Cup in the space of less than a fortnight in March 1911. He made his debut on the 11th against Transvaal; this match also saw the first-class debut of Arthur's brother John. Arthur, batting at three in each innings, made only 0 and 3 and claimed a single catch, to dismiss Maurice Luckin. His highest score that season was 34, made against Eastern Province in what proved to be his last appearance for eight years.

It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”
