.
There are a number of different local newspapers showing Casualty Lists and Henry is mentioned within them
.
There are also two articles concerning a Private Henry Fullerton from within the 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.
The first is a thank you letter sent from the front in reply to a group of Ballymena Girls who had sent cigarettes to the soldiers at the front, and it is signed Privates Wm Glasgow, Wm Graham and Henry Fullerton, 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, 5th Infantry Brigade, 1st Army Corps.
The second is a poem titled, Just As The Sun Went Down, and it also shows that it was written by a Privates Henry Fullerton and James Lunn, 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.
Of course there is always the possibility that there is another Private Henry Fullerton within 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, however S.A.S.H felt that the inclusion of these articles within Henrys profile, at least until it can be proven the person in question is not our Henry, is worthy of a mention
.
The Belfast Book Of Honour, Journey of Remembering, shows Henrys sister Sarah Brooks as living at 1 Lawnbrook Avenue, Shankill Road, Belfast
.
Henrys Soldiers Effects were left to Mrs Martha Renwick.

Henry received the British War Medal, Victory Medal and 1915 Star.
