Albert Bullman was born at Newhaven on 14 July 1891 and attested for the Royal Naval Division on 12 April 1912, joining the Howe Battalion at the outbreak of the Great War. Posted to “C” Company, his service record states that he suffered a shrapnel wound to the feet at Gallipoli on 8 June 1915 and was later evacuated to hospital in Plymouth suffering from dysentery. Transferred to the Royal Navy as Stoker First Class, he spent the final year of the war temporarily attached to the Royal Australian Navy, his final posting before demobilisation in February 1919 being aboard the Indefatigable-class battlecruiser H.M.A.S. Australia.
