From Andy Pay's research into the Marquis de Ruvigny' s Roll of Honour the following:

Volume Godfrey John Oswald Bull, Lieutenant, 2nd East Lancashire Field company, Royal Engineers. 3rd son of Colonel William Henry Bull, F.R.C.S., K.H.S , V.D., J.P. , Assistant Director of medical services, South Midland division by his wife Emma Elizabeth Cherry, daughter of the late Edward Hoare Garole of Ballinacurra House Midleton co Cork.

Born St Oswalds house Stony Stratford co Bucks 3-8-1890, educated Wellington College and Magdalane College, Cambridge (B.A 1st class honours). On leaving Cambridge he became a pupil at the Westinghouse works , Manchester, and joined the East Lancs R.E (T.F) as a 2nd Lieut 10-6-1913, and was promoted Lieutenant 7-1-1914. He left for Egypt in sept 1914 and proceeded to the Dardenelles in the following May, was slightly wounded in the leg during the fighting that month and was killed in action there 8th July following.

His commanding officer wrote "He met his death early in the morning whilst surveying the work his men had been engaged on during the night in orderto send his report which is called for each morning. Death was instantaneous, being shot through the brain by a sniper. Your son was a noble lad and a good soldier, and a untiring worker. If any man ever served his country as a junior officer it was your son and our comrade."

His two brothers are now (1916) on active service, Capt W.E.H. Bull with the mounted brigade, field ambulance R.A.M.C (T.F.) and Capt H.C.H. Bull with the 8th battalion Kings Own Yorkshire L.I.
