Cornelis Gies was an older brother of Jan Gies and was born in the parental home at Rustenburgerstraat 116B, district F, then still part of the municipality of Nieuwer-Amstel.[1] As the eldest son he had to do military service. On 2 July 1914, the Military Council decided to assign him to the cyclists of the 7th Infantry Regiment. He himself would have preferred a position with the 'State pigeon post'.[2] At the inspection he was found to be 1826 mm in height.

On 31 March 1921 he married A.M. Strikkers, daughter of a bar owner, in Amsterdam.[3] In 1922 they had a daughter and in 1928 a son. His profession was driver.[4]

After many moves, he eventually lived at the same address in Rustenburgerstraat for a long time.[5] His wife died on 23 November 1952.[4]
