Description
Studio portrait of Lieutenant (Lt) Leopold (Leo) Bull, 46th Battalion of St Kilda, Victoria. Described in his Australian Red Cross Wounded and Missing File as "a very plucky man and very popular with the men", Lt Bull, an Intelligence officer, suffered machine gun wounds to both legs whilst on patrol in no man's land at Morlancourt, France on the night of 6 April 1918. He died the next day in hospital. Lt Bull was posthumously awarded the Military Cross on 26 July 1918 "for conspicuous gallantry and ability as Battalion Intelligence Officer in action near Albert on 5th April 1918".
