Maurice Frederick Minton was born on 9 June 1932, at Westbury on Trym, Bristol. He was called up for his National Service in September 1950 and saw service in Korea, almost certainly as part of a reinforcement draft after the Imjin River engagement, returning home to Southampton aboard the troopship Empire Fowey on 20 December 1951. Married in 1953, the couple continued to live in Bristol.
