Before joining the expeditionary forces as a Lieutenant only a few months after the First World War started, in October 1915, Balck worked as a lamplighter in Nelson. This entailed lighting the gas street lights around the city and reporting any damage or vandalism to the Inspector of Nuisances. In 1905, he married Eva Louisa Sutton, with whom he had three children prior to the war.
