210909 Pte. William Frederick Bull British Army 2nd Btn. Northamptonshire Regiment from:Sutton Street, Flore, Weedon, Northants (d.14th Aug 1916) We know very little about Private William Frederick Bull except that he was my uncle. Anyone who would have known more is long dead. The certificate issued by The Commonwealth War Graves Commission says that his middle name is spelt as Fredrick and not Frederick, so I am not sure which is correct. William was the son of Mr Albert Edward Bull and his wife Sophia Bull of Sutton Street, Flore, Weedon, Northants. When William first enlisted it was into the 1st Battalion of the Northamptonshire Regiment but when he died, aged 19 on the 14th August 1916 in the Battle of the Somme, he was listed as a member of the 2nd Battalion. I checked this out with the Regimental Museum and they advised that this transfer was a fairly normal event. William is buried in the Vermelles British Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France.
