Bertie Henry Taylor was born in Radford, Nottingham, in around 1897. At the time of the 1911 census, he was living with his parents and five siblings at 36 Bright Street Radford, Nottingham. Bertie was employed in a Lace factory, and his job was to set up the machines.
 
During the Great War, Taylor served with the 1/7th Bn of the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment. His battalion was known as the Robin Hood Rifles.
