The Honourable Arthur Wilson, also known as Sergeant Wilson, is a fictional Home Guard platoon sergeant and bank employee. He was portrayed in the BBC television sitcom Dad's Army by John Le Mesurier. Wilson was born in 1887, and is carefree, cheerful and well-spoken, although more complex than he first seems. He has a vague and dreamy personality and an aura of mystery. In appearance, he resembles Anthony Eden. He is a kind man, who goes with the flow of life. He is chief cashier of Walmington-on-Sea bank, and captain of the cricket club. He has an upper-middle-class background; his father had a career in the City of London, and Wilson often recalls fond memories of his nanny. He was educated at a public school named Meadow Bridge.
