Other Information:

Llewelyn was educated at Morpeth Grammar School, Uppingham, and at Durham University, where he graduated M.B., B.S. in 1904. During his time there he was keen on out-door sports, winning many athletic prizes. After qualifying, he held resident appointments the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and at the Darlington Hospital and Dispensary. Prior to joining the R.A.M.C. he was in practice at Gateshead-on-Tyne. *He was also a member of Gateshead Saltwell Division St John Ambulance [*Special thanks to Keith Kendal] Llewelyn signed up with the R.A.M.C. for continuous service after the war, and was gazetted Lieutenant on 22nd March 1917. He entered the war in France, the following month - on the 12th April. He was at work in his aid-post in Bouzincourt, which occupied a cellar when a shell exploded in it, killing him instantly. His Commanding Officer wrote: “He was one of the most conscientious and painstaking men I ever met. He was brave, and knew no fear where his duty called him. I was with him the first time he came under fire one night a year ago. I was much impressed then with his coolness and the way he handled the wounded. Since then he has been a member of our mess..... He was as straight as a gun-barrel, and always did his job. What more can one man say of another? He was a hero.” Llewelyn was the third son of Canon Henry John Bulkeley, rector of Coddington, Herefordshire, and Lucy Margaret (daughter of the Rev. William Frederick Pierson) of Gateshead-on-Tyne; and the husband of Mary Elizabeth Moore (Cotfield House, Gateshead), the daughter of Dr James Lawrence of Darlington - married on 28th April 1915. They had one son.
