Personal life
Bullock was married to Maude and had one son.[2] He served as a lance corporal in the Football Battalion during the First World War and was wounded in the right shoulder during the Battle of the Somme in 1916,[2][6] in the region of Delville Wood and Guillemont.[7] He was injured in the left knee after an accident in 1918 and was demobilised in March 1920.[2][8] After his retirement from football in 1922, Bullock became landlord of the Slubber's Arms pub in Huddersfield.[8] He died of heart failure due to ammonia poisoning in November 1922 and had been suffering "nerve troubles" during the month preceding his death.[2][8][9]
