FULTON, HARRY TOWNSEND (1869-1918) was the son of Lieut-general John Fulton, and came with him to New Zealand. Educated at the Otago Boys' High School (1881-88), he was a lieutenant in the Dunedin City Guards when he received his first commission in the 93rd Highlanders (1892). In 1894 he was seconded to the Indian army and appointed to the Gurkha Rifles with which he served on the North-West Frontier (1897-98) at Malakand and Tirah. In the South African war (1899-1901) he was with the New Zealand Mounted Rifles (D.S.O.). On the outbreak of the war of 1914-18 he again joined the New Zealand forces, with which he served first at the capture of Samoa in command of a composite half-battalion; then in Egypt and France in command of battalions of the Rifle Brigade, and afterwards in command of the Brigade in France (1916), where he died of wounds on 29 Mar 1918. (C.M.G.) Fulton married (1905) Ada Hermina, daughter of John James Dixon.
