In 1901, Herbert Lodge, 6 years of age, was shown as an orphan schoolboy and residing in the St George's House, Northern Police Orphanage, Harrogate, Yorkshire, England. A Mabel Lodge, 9, is also residing in the institution, born in the same area. (Source: 1901 Census of England; Class: RG13; Piece: 4052; Folio: 58; Page: 47.) [EDITORS NOTE: The Orphanage was founded in 1898 by Miss Catherine Gurney for the care and welfare of Northern Police Force children who had lost one or both parents. The children were housed at the Northern Police Orphanage, located on 12 acres of land on Otley Road, Harrogate. From January 1898 when the first child, Minnie Smith from Sunderland was taken in, until closure in 1956 due to the declining numbers of children in need, a total of 644 children had passed through the doors of St George's. From it's inception, St George's House Orphanage operated from Otley Road until January 1955, when it was relocated to Albany Lodge,16 Hereford Rd, Harrogate, finally closing it's doors in August the following year.]

St George's House was maintained by the voluntary subscriptions of the Northern Police Forces of England and Wales. The subscription amounted to 2d or 3d per officer per week and proved a successful method of assuring the regularity of income for the care of the children and maintenance of the House.

In 1908, Herbert Lodge, 11, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, along with a group of boys en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In 1911, Herbert Lodge, 17, is shown as a servant / labourer on farm for Abraham Willougby and family in Wolford, Grenville, Ontario, Canada. His date of birth is shown as August 1893 and his immigration year as 1908.

On November 7, 1914, at Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Herbert Lodge, 21, enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he was born in New Brighton, Cheshire, England; that his next of kin was Mrs. Eleanor Lodge, who resided at 6 Cardigan Road, New Brighton, Cheshire, England; that his date of birth was August 6 1893; that he was a labourer; and that he was not married. He was described as 5 foot 9 inches in height; fair complexion; gray eyes; brown eyes. He was a member of the Presbyterian faith. He had a distinguishing mark of a scar on the palm of his right hand.
