Arthur Patrick O’Brien was born in London on 25 September 1872. His father John Francis O’Brien was a native of Co. Cork, who had served as a major in the British army, lived for a time in Turkey and after retiring from the army became a businessman in London. In 1877, partly with the help of his own father (a civil servant), John Francis O’Brien founded the highly-successful Music Trades Review, which was reputedly the first mail-order firm in the world for musical instruments.
