I had a Grandfather N H Bulman and Great Uncle, C R Bulman, both from Redcar, who served in the Northumberland Fusiliers in WW1. I have discovered the war service of my Gt Uncle, he was commissioned in 21st Battalion on 19th March 1916 and blinded on 5th June 1916 near La Boiselle.
My Grandfather served as a private. I have his service number, 58023 and believe he was in 24/27th Battalion, then 25th and 12/13th. I know he was gassed and he died in 1956. I do not know when he enlisted and would like to trace his service record through the batallion war diaries. His name does not appear in John Sheen's history of the Tyneside Irish. I have a photo of him, possibly at the tme of his enlistment.
I would like some help in tracing my Grandfather's war service. He was married in early 1916 and after the war was company secretary for Garnetts in Middlesbrough, the soft drinks and confectioners.
