Son of Alfred Henry HULLS (860) and Mrs. H. Hulls, of 537, Hargreaves St., Bendigo, Victoria, Australia
Prior to enlistment Alfred was employed as a miner for the Consolidated Gold Mining Company.
Enlisted 24 August 1914
HUSBAND, AND SON KILLED
BENDIGO, Tuesday.
Mrs A. H. Hulls, of 537 Hargreaves street, Bendigo, has made a great sacrifice for the Empire, having lost her husband and only son on the field of battle. Her husband, Pte. Alfred Henry Hulls, was killed in action on July 29, 1917, and she has now been notified that her only son, Pte. Alfred Henry Hulls, has also been killed in action.
He was a native of Bendigo, and 27 years of age. He was in New Zealand when the war broke out, and enlisted immediately, going away with the first New Zealand contingent in 1914. He went through the campaign on Gallipoli, and was fighting with the New Zealanders in France when he was killed.
The father left with a West Australian battalion early in the war, and fell in France.
A son-in-law of Mrs Hulls, Pte. A. J. Hocking, has been twice wounded, and is believed to be back in the firing line.
