The Late Lieut. George Bull
Memorial service at Newport
The body of Lieut. A G H Bull, of Ashlake House, Fishbourne, an officer in the Wootton Company of the home Guard, who, with Volunteer B V Killeen, lost his life in a road accident during manoeuvres on Sunday week, was cremated at South Stoneham, and a largely attended memorial service was held in Newport Parish Church on Saturday. It was conducted by the Vicar (the Rev W M B Hogg), who afterwards, accompanied by the deceased's sister (Mrs Cassell), scattered the ashes on the sea from the beach at Fishbourne , where Mr Bull was fond of sailing and fishing. The organist (Mr E A English, Mus Bac, FRCO) accompanied the chanting of the 23rd Psalm and Nunc Dimitis and played Chopin's "March Funebre" and Beethoven's Funeral March.
The chief mourners were Mr and Mrs A G Bull (parents), Mrs Cassell (sister), commander F Young RN (uncle), Mrs Hann (aunt), Mrs F Young (cousin), and Mr Arthur Wood, who, with Mrs Cassell, attended the cremation. A wreath from his home guard comrades was the only floral tribute.
