Philip Wilson Posted 2 August , 2011 Share Posted 2 August , 2011 Here is his entry in Part 2 of The Distinguished Service Order - page 215. and his entry in Part 2 Half Yearly Army List 31 December 1922. Both entries provide plenty of clues for further research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Owl Posted 2 August , 2011 Share Posted 2 August , 2011 Hi Rob, Richard Archibald Bulloch was the son of G.Bulloch,Esq.,Kinloch, Dunkeld, Scotland. He joined the Black Watch in 1899; Capt, 1906; served in the Boer War(wounded at Magersfontein and was awarded the QSA with 3 clasps). During WW1 he was wounded twice, was thrice mentioned in despatches and was awarded the DSO, 1917; Legion of Honour and French Croix de Guerre, 1918. Cmdg. 1st Bn Black Watch 1926-30; Col. 1930; cmdg 153rd(Black Watch and Gordon) Inf Bde(TA) 1932-36; retired 1936. JP and DL Inverness-shire. Address: Col.R.A.Bulloch, Tomatin House, Tomatin, Inverness-shire. (Educated: Harrow 1893 to 1897; Fives Player 1896-97). I am almost certain that the Black Watch museum will have a portrait of him. It is probably worth asking the question. Hope this helps, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salientguide Posted 2 August , 2011 Share Posted 2 August , 2011 Hi Rob my great war mentor, who started me on all this shenanigans, is a retired radiologist now living in Taunton, but family from Scotland, Dr Colin Bulloch. His uncle Lt Robert Bulloch 26th Royal Fusiliers I think it is was killed at Tower Hamlets 26th Sept 1917. Burial known but lost and now commemorated on wall at Tyne Cot. Do you think you are a branch of the same family, if so may be able to put you in touch ? Regards SG ps have just noted Roberts name in your last list. two years ago with Colin and some friends we tracked down his lat movements from Shrewbury Forest up towards a strong post noted as The Quadrilteral it is likely Robert was killed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 3 August , 2011 Author Share Posted 3 August , 2011 Philip W SG and Old Owl. Thank you all very much for your input I don't think there is much chance of Lt Col Bulloch being a relative just another of the Bulloch clan. But I would love to see a photograph of him. SG It was the three lads at the top of my list that got me involved in these "Shenanigans" Rob. Thanks again for your information. Aye Rob.

Maricourt Posted 4 August , 2011 Share Posted 4 August , 2011 Dear Rob Lt Col Bulloch, DSO, was an Old Harrovian and if you contact the archivist at Harrow School she should be able to supply you with a photograph and obituary from one of the volumes of Harrow Memorials 1914-1918 and possibly some information about his time at the school. Regards ... Maricourt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Owl Posted 5 August , 2011 Share Posted 5 August , 2011 Unfortunately he will not appear in Harrow Memorials as he was not a fatal casualty of WW1. The school may however have a photo of him in a group or team photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 5 August , 2011 Author Share Posted 5 August , 2011 Old Owl..I was thinking along similar lines, and when I contacted the the archivist at Harrow school, I did mention in my enquire that R.A Bulloch had survived the war. The school may have a photograph, sports or former pupils you just never know. Aye Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
