By the second year of the war the number of engineering students at the University of Edinburgh was relatively small. Under the tutorship of Professor Hudson Beare the Engineering Department at High School Yards was a hive of activity. It was the headquarters of the Officer Training Corps and the Engineering buildings were largely made over to the instructions of the O.T.C.

In addition to this, courses of instruction were provided for university lecturers, students and graduates as well as solictors, accountants, architects and other learned professions who for professional exemption reasons could not join the forces but wished to engage in voluntary munitions work. The full-time courses were organised by Professor Hudson Beare and lasted between three and four weeks, depending on the skill of the learner.

On successful completion of the course a certificate was awarded by the Edinburgh and South-East of Scotland Munitions Board which showed their competence as munitions workers.

In addition to being Professor of Engineering, Thomas Hudson Beare also sat on the Universities and Public Schools Recruitment Committee which addressed the issue of the shortage of officers.¹

HINDMARSH YOUNG MAN HONORED
BY THE KING.
Mr. R. P. Bull, of Hindmarsh, has received a letter from his son, Mr. Harold B. Bull, an A.B. on the "Nimrod". It is dated December 17, and was written on the "Nimrod" at Pomona Docks, Manchester. He says: :
     "I am well and keeping in good health. We are on show here in Manchester, and I suppose will continue to be for some time. I have been before King Edward VII, and he pinned a medal on my breast. It was a great function. We went to Buckingham Palace, and after all the knighthoods had been conferred we had our medals put on our breasts by the King. On one side of the medal is a ship in the ice and a sledge party, and on the other side is the King's head. There is one clasp, on which is the word, 'Antarctic, 1907-09.' Around the edge of the medal is my name, H. Bull, A.B., R.N.R. Nimrod. The ribbon is white. I am very proud at having received the medal and of being honored by the King fastening it on my breast."
     Mr. Harold Bull is a grandson of the late Mr. John Bull, who arrived in South Australia in the "Canton" in May, 1838, and wrote a book on the early history of South Australia, which was published in "The Chronicle." His great grandfather was the Rev. John Bull. M.A., Walthamstow, Essex, England, who was born in 1804.
     Mr. H. B. Bull is 26 years of age. He was born at Hindmarsh, and was educated at the local public school. He had a liking for a seafaring life, and eventually entered the P.and 0. service, and became a quartermaster. Subsequently he entered the British Royal Naval Reserve. He was chosen out of 500 candidates to join the crew of the "Nimrod", under Lieutenant (now Sir) Ernest Shackleton, to proceed in the "Nimrod" to the South Polar regions. He has made two trips to the South Antarctic aboard the "Nimrod".¹

     AN OLD COLONIST
Interesting Memories. -
Eighty years ago last Monday, a well known South Australian, Mr. James Osmond Bull, was born at Halifax street, Adelaide, and 12 months later was baptised at Trinity Church North terrace, by the Rev. Mr. Howard, the first colonial chaplain. His father, the late Mr, J. W. Bull, will be recollected as the author of 'Early 'Experiences of Colonial Life,'' a work which graphically described the vicissitudes of our pioneer colonists, and enjoyed considerable popularity at the time of its publication, Mr. J. O. Bull, who by-the-way, is a near relative of, the famous war artist, Mr. Rene Bull, whose brilliant sketches have for years been a feature of Black and White has had a long colonial experience, and possesses keen recollections of the hardships his parents underwent in an endeavour to get a footing in the country. His father, who was 'a man of Kent,' shortly after his arrival from England, was appointed agent in South Australia for Mr. Ewens, a prominent stock breeder in Sydney, and it was on Bull's Creek that he used to run the cattle which came overland from New South Wales before sending them to the market. 'Mr. Bull recollects a peculiar incident connected with the first mob that came to this province. One of the animals escaped from Bulls Creek and found its way back to its home in the mother colony. To do this it had to travel hundreds of miles, and swim several rivers. Its wonderful homing instinct, however, did not save its life, as it was sent back with the next mob and eventually found its way to a local slaughter-house.
—'Black Thursday' Recalled.—
When Mr. Bull gave up Bull's Creek he erected stockyarcls on South terrace, near to St. John's Church, but subsequently started farming at Balhannah. But wheat was low in price, it had to be hand reaped, then threshed with a flail, and finally carted 21 miles to Adelaide, so finding it did not pay, he returned to Adelaide and found employment at Mr. Osmond Gilles' place at Glen Osmond. Mr. Gilles was the first Colonial Treasurer, and Mr. J. O. Bull was called after him. Mr. J. W. Bull then went with his family to a property in the neighbourhood of the Halfway House, on the Port Road, known at that time as McFadyen's. He moved on Black Thursday, and Mr. J.O. Bull has a vivid recollection of that fearful day. He says it was impossible to see a yard in front of one. The horses refused to move, his sisters were nearly dead with thirst, and screaming with fright, and the horror of the occasion was ever after ''indelibly outlined on the tablets of his mind. Then the Victorian digging began, and his father went to Ballarat, but bad luck pursued him, and having turned to South Australia, he took charge of Mr. Osmond Gilles's property at Glen Osmond. While there he planted the well-known vineyard in the vicinity and took great interest in viticulture. He subsequently went into business as a wine-merchant in Gilbert Place, Adelaide.
. . . Gold Escort Days . . .
Mr. Bull remembers the arrival of the first coach with gold diggers from Victoria. It was in charge of John Durie, one of the most famous drivers in Australia in those days, and was accompanied by a guard in a red coat, who trolled a merry lay on a cornopean as the coach rattled up the main streets of the town. On leaving his father, Mr. J. 0. Bull took up droving, and in 1872 went with the late Mr. Ern. Bagot and Mr. J. Hart to the McDonnell Ranges with cattle. He underwent many hardships, and on one occasion, during a dry stage of 90 miles, was not out of the sadle for three nights and two days. Then his horse fell and rolled upon him twice, with the result that he was laid up for two years, being utterly unable to do anything. He subsequently spent some time in the Northern Territory and returned suffering from fever and ague, after which he went to Cuthero, Messrs. Pile Brothers station, on the Darling. There he remained until he retired from active life, and for the past 20 years has lived with his two sisters, the Misses Lucy and Fanny Bull. They have resided at Plympton for some time. On Monday a bevy of friends and relatives visited Mr. Bull to wish him 'Many happy returns' and presented him with tokens of their esteem.²

     A FINE PIONEER
Native-Born, and Eighty Four. A Chat with Mr. J. O. Bull.
     It is a privilege to meet the real pioneer type— the kind of man who blazed trails, and built up the State, whatever their personal gain or loss may have been. Mr. J. O. Bull may claim to be at once a pioneer and native-born. He is, indeed, said to be the oldest living male born, in South Australia. It is with a cheery smile that the veteran owns to his 84 years, the point of the joke being that, considering some of his experiences, it is rather a wonder that he is alive at all. A representative of The Register had a pleasant chat with Mr. Bull and his two sisters, and the conversation went back to old history and typical reminiscences. His father, Mr. John Wrathall Bull, arrived in South Australia with his wife and two children by the Canton on April 30, 1838. Another child, a little daughter, had died on the voyage out. Mrs. Bull, whose maiden name was Bowyer, was only 17 years old when she was married, and only 20 when she landed in South Australia. Some of the buoyancy and cheerful courage with which she is said to have faced the roughing it of those days, seems to have been handed down to her children, for Mr.J. Bull and his sisters are keenly interested in everything concerning the welfare of the State. 'I was born,' said Mr. Bull, in Halifax Street, Adelaide. on March 31, 1833, and was christened in Trinity Church by the Colonial Chaplain, the Rev. C. B. Howard. My godfathers were Dr. Nash and Mr. Osmond Gilles. My father was manager of Mr. Gilles's estate. My parents went to Nairne when I was a baby. Years afterwards, a man met me and said, 'Hullo, young Bull, I'd have known you any where!' He hadn't seen me since I was an infant in arms; you'd have thought I'd have changed more than that! My first school was Mr. Clauson's, in Unley, and then I went to Mr. J. L. Young's Academy, and afterwards to Mr. Web ster's, at Maesbury House, Kensington. When I left school we went to a station at Rapid Bay— The Blowhole, or, as my father named, it Bowyer Creek, after my mother's maiden name. I helped my elder brothers with the shepherding. There were 10 of us children. My brother Charlie died early, and his funeral was the last occasion on which Mr. Howard officiated. We were burnt out of that station, and had to start again. I was for some years in the volunteers — first, the Mitcham and Glen Osmond, and later at Rapid Bay. I saw something of the interior in 1872, travelling with stock for Mr. Bagot to the MacDonnel Ranges. That was a trip! We were eight months going 1,039 miles with 500 head of cattle. For 90 miles we were without a drop of water for the beasts. We carried some for ourselves, and the horses got a little at 70 miles, but by the time we reached James's Range the cattle were fairly mad for water. They stampeded when they came to it, and some got legs broken. That 90 miles we did in two days and three nights through the scrub. I had an accident out there, and scurvy set in. I was brought down more dead than alive, took two months on the trip, travelling by wagon and coach, and was crippled for two years. 'Much later,' continued the speaker, 'I was out with a survey party on the Darwin to Pine Creek Railway, ours being the first section. I broke one of my legs that time — went to hunt up two bullocks, and my horse fell and rolled on me. I got the bullocks and took them back, but my leg was in a terrible condition. That finished my time there. But the other trip was the one I remember best. We had to watch the cattle all night, and to this day I awaken from 2 to 4, and shall do so, I suppose, as long as I live. Splendid country, these MacDonnell Ranges. I have never seen anything elsewhere to equal it. After that hard trip the horses were mud fat in a few weeks. You could grow anything there. If Tom Price had only let the proposed railway go through, that part of Australia would have been settled and prosperous years ago.' Mr. Bull has strong feelings about the treatment of the Australian aborigines. He believes that if they had had their rights they might have helped in the development of the Northern Territory. 'It was their country. We took it, and now we can't work it. They would have done splendidly with cattle, with proper oversight,' he added. Proceeding, Mr. Bull told several stories illustrative of the powers of blacks, especially in tracking, and maintained that if fairly and firmly treated he had always found them straight in their dealings. 'I don't see why blacks have no rights, and I'll stick to that as long as I live,' he said. Although his sight is not good, Mr. Bull is remarkably young looking for his age. He holds himself well, and his face is fresh-coloured and wonderfully little lined. His sisters— Misses Lucy and Fanny Bull— are also interesting to talk to. They were much missed by their friends when they left Plypmton. By-the-way, one of Mr. Bull's earlier memories is moving from Glen Osmond to Yatala on 'Black Thursday' in March, 1850. 'I had to feel my way by hand over the Hindmarsh Bridge,' he said, 'and the poor little girls crying for water, and none to be found. My other brothers came after us with the furniture on a bullock dray. You could not see your hand before your face!' On 31 March 1923.³

     Obituary was printed on 1 March 1924
     James Osmond Bull, a colonist of 84 years, died at his residence, Prescott Terrace, Rose Park, yesterday. He was the third son of Mr. J. W. Bull, and was , born at Halifax-street, Adelaide, on March. 31, 1838, and baptised 12 months later by the first colonial chaplain (Rev. G. B. Howard), at Trinity Church, North Terrace. His father, who "man of Kent", shortly after his arrival from England was appointed agent in South Australia for Mr. Ewens, a prominent stock breeder in Sydney, and it was on Bulls Creek that he used to run the cattle which came overland from New South Wales before sending them to the market. When Mr Bull gave up Bull's Creek he erected stockyards on South Terrace near to St. John's Church, but subsequently started farming at Balhannah. Finding it did not pay he returned to Adelaide and found employment at Mr. Osmond Gilles' place at Glen Osmond. Mr. J. W. Bull then went with his family to a property in the neighborhood of the Half-Way House, on the Port Road, known at that time as McFayden's. Then the Victorian diggings began and his father went to Ballarat, but misfortune pursued him, and having returned to South Australia, he took charge of Mr. Osmond Gilles' property at Glen Osmond. On leaving his father Mr. J. O. Bull took up droving, and in 1872 went with Mr. Ern. Bagot and Mr. J. Hart to the McDonnell Ranges with cattle.

There he remained until he retired from active life, and he had since lived with his two sisters, Misses Lucy and Fanny Bull, first at Plympton, and more recently at Rose Park.⁶

     THE LATE MR. J. 0. BULL.
From THOMAS NEILL.-
     It is now several years since I made the acquaintance of the late Mr. J. O. Bull, whom I often met at Glenelg on Commemoration Day, but I missed his presence on the last occasion. I was sorry to see by The Register that he had passed away last Sunday. I recognised his portrait, a good one, at first sight. Permit me to correct two mistakes in reference to the deceased gentleman appearing in Monday's Register. First, he was not a 'brother' but a son of the late Mr. John Wrathall Bull, whom I well remember, and whose book, 'Early Experiences of Life in South Australia' I have. Secondly, he could not possibly have been born in Halifax Street, Adelaide, on March 31, 1838, as his parents arrived here by the ship 'Canton' on April 30 of that year, as stated by Mr J. W. Bull in his book on page 50. Other authorities give the date as May 2. Besides, for many years back, the name of the late J. 0. Bull, has appeared on the rollcall of pioneers, as a native of 1839. Mr. Bull was one of a trio of old bushmen, whose acquaintance I made at Glenelg. The others were Messrs. C. B. Powell, and Robert Douglas, who were present last December 23, at the Mayoral luncheon.?⁵
