He is now buried at Thiepval Cemetery, he left behind a wife and 2 sons
Henry and George who he never saw.
Additional Information: | Henry had an identical twin brother called Joseph Charles Tullett (my grandfather). He served with Henry in the Royal West Kent. He was with Henry when he was killed on 15/9/16. My grandfather told us that they were running through a wood and Henry was hit by a sniper's bullet. He died instantly. I visited Thiepval and with the help of the re burial certificate and a lady at the museum, we managed to work out that the wood was called Delville. He was re-buried at Thievpal in December 1931.Alison Smith
