Pte Hamilton had been a Maker-Up when he enlisted in 8th City / 23rd (Bantams) Bttn on 30/11/1914.  He was transferred to 2nd GB on 10/1/1916.
Discharged unfit from 2nd GB at Knowsley on 10/3/1916, Bertram had chronic rheumatism and a pre-service heart condition. No aggravation noted, so no pension award.

Widow Mary Jane and daughter Elsie received a pension at 6 Seal St, later 50 Hutchins St, Bradford.
