During the period 7/9th June he was in charge of a relay post between Battalion Headquarters at Lauwen Molen and the Headquarters of a Battalion in rear. During a hostile counter attack made on the evening of the 8th June the wires were broken several times, and Private Bullick, under very heavy shelling, repaired them each time.
