Remembered under the Bitton - St Mary's Church memorial and the Upton Cheyney - United Reform Church Memorial as W. PULLEN. As his fathers name was also John, he was probably known as Wallace. The records indicate Pullin as the correct surname and a mistake was probably made when recording him on the memorials.
