Tips

This is the ruin of Dimples Farm. It was the childhood home of Walter Whiston Bullock before emigrating to New Zealand. In 1915 he enlisted in the Wellington Regiment, seeing service at Gallipoli and the Somme. He was killed during fighting at Passhendaele in 1917, aged 34. In recognition of his “splendid courage and determination” that day he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal, which is 2nd only to the Victoria Cross in terms of importance. He was buried at Tyne Cot cemetery near Passchendaele.

A small shrine in his memory has been established by the south facing gable end wall.
