Biography
Bertram appears on the School War Memorial, confirming that he attended the school. The 1911 census adds some information: he was the grandson of Frederick and Eliza Buckett and he and two siblings Lizzie and George appear to be living with them. All three were born in Finsbury Park, London, George (b c1894), Lizzie (b c1893) and Bertram (b c1900). Bertram would have been about fourteen at the outbreak of war, so he is unlikely to have served until the very late stages. It appears that his brother George also served and survived.
