Needhams was a fee paying school for boys only, and there were approximately one hundred pupils at a time, of whom about a quarter would have received free places.
The free places were offered to the seven or eight top pupils at each of the local primary schools.
Was admitted on 24th May 1902 as a “free boy” with the annual intake of eight boys from his school

Was well known in Ely and East Cambridgeshire as one of the “Ely Dandies” Concert Party and his fellow soldiers later commented: “ (he) always had a kind and cheerful disposition, and when on the march he was generally the first to commence a song”.
The Dandies held popular concert parties throughout the area in all kinds of venues, but in particular in the pavilion at Ely after tennis parties.
They were especially known for popular ragtime songs and comedy sketches.
At Christmas time in 1912, for example, they gave a concert for the inmates of the workhouse which was described as “...most enjoyable, creating, as it did, much hearty laughter.
One inmate of long standing remarked “That’s a capper master; we haven’t had a Christmas like this before.”
A fortnight later they were performing to a rather different audience, the Linton Branch of the Eastern Branch of the Women’s Conservative Association where Bert’s two solo spots were singing “Masks and Faces” and “Any Rags”.
Once War commenced the Dandies turned their talents to raising money for the War Fund with a successful social and dance in Trinity Parish Rooms on Boxing Day 1914.
​Bert was also an amateur sportsman, and in 1913 was secretary of the Ely Invicta Athletics

​At the outbreak of the War he enlisted at Ely into the Suffolk Regiment and was placed in the 7th Battalion which formed up at Bury St Edmunds.
​After the completion of their training at Shorncliffe Camp in Kent and Aldershot, Bert and his Battalion crossed the Channel and landed at Boulogne in France
Went into the line for the first time at Ploegsteert Wood
Killed in action
Was a scout and had been sent out to one of the listening posts midway between the British and German lines, where he had been shot just twenty yards short of the trenches.
He was assisted back to the British trenches by another of the scouts but died a few minutes afterwards of his injuries. Bert’s officer Lieutenant Bamkin (see this page) was also shot when he attended to Bert’s injuries, and the two soldiers were buried side by side.
A letter was soon received from Bert’s close friend Scout Orbell who wrote to Bert’s sister Mabel:
“Well, as you know, Bert was a Scout and our work has been very hard and dangerous all the way along.
On several occasions we went to within a very few yards of the German trenches whilst out scouting, it was very dangerous work, and we went out at one of the worst places on the line.
We crawled out in the long grass, with the bullets hitting the top of the grass all the way, and to within about 20 yards of their trenches; then they opened fire on us and poor old Bert, next to me, called out.
Of course I knew he had been hit, and the last words he said to me were “I’ve been hit, Kid!”
I passed it on to our brave officer , who immediately turned back to help me with Bert’s wounds, and just as we were leaning over Bert to see where he was hit, our brave officer was shot too.
This left us three, myself, Pte F. Davies and Pte H. Searle, to get the two in.
Bert was splendid to the finish, and even tried to crawl back himself to help us, but of course that was too much for him; so we arranged to get them in between us.
My job was more with the officer , so it was the other two who got Bert back , although I was with him when he was shot, and helped to carry him when we got into the trench.
I can safely say Bert was a hero, and a brother you can be proud of.
He was a good chum, especially of mine, and I was always about with him whilst in training in England, so you can imagine how I miss him. I was present at his funeral the next day.
​He was buried with every respect, and we collected some beautiful flowers to put on his grave.”

At the outbreak of War he enlisted in the 10th Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, and received a Commission in the 10th Royal West Kent Regiment .
Promoted Lieutenant
​Promoted Captain
​He left for the Front and volunteered for special duty in leading the bombing raids, and was supported by about fifty volunteers of all ranks who had great confidence in him as a leader and a soldier.
He was hit on the parapet, near Armentieres, whilst bringing back his men from a raid late at night and died from his wounds after a few hours

Letters from his brother Officers show that his Company Officers had every faith in him as a leader and perfect soldier, and speak of his noble example he set by volunteering at once for any dangerous undertaking, such as the raid in which he fell, while his cheery, open-hearted nature endeared him to all, and was invaluable at the Front. In a previous raid one of his men, a Private, was gassed in the German trench, and Captain Pillman carried him on his back over 300 yards of "No Mans Land" to the British trenches.
The Company Quartermaster-Sergeant wrote:-
"Captain Pillman was a fine Officer and a very gallant gentleman, and will not be easily replaced."

A small cross with his name has been put up to his memory.'
