'''James Charles Critchell Bullock''' (6 September 1898 – 31 March 1953) was best known for his diaries and photographs of an expedition with [[John Hornby]] across the [[Barren Grounds]] of Canada's [[Northwest Territories]].

==Early life==

Bullock was born at 81 East Street, [[Chichester]], Sussex, England on 6 September 1898, the oldest son of James Tayler Bullock.<ref>The Sherbourne Register, Third Edition, 1550-1937, page 314</ref><ref>London Gazette 17 September 1935</ref>

He was educated at Cliff House Preparatory School in Southbourne followed by [[Sherborne School]] in Dorset from 1913 to 1916.<ref>The Sherbourne Register, Third Edition, 1550-1937, page 314</ref> He sat and passed the [[Royal Military College, Sandhurst|Royal Military College]] entrance exam with the option to go to a cadet college in India rather than Sandhurst.{{fact|date=September 2021}}

==Military career==

The Indian Cadet colleges, unlike Sandhurst, were a six-month course with mandatory language training. The cadet would qualify for a regular IA commission at the end of training.
In 1916 he attended the Cadet College, Quetta,<ref>The Sherbourne Register, Third Edition, 1550-1937, page 314</ref> from where he was commissioned a second lieutenant on the Unattached List for the Indian Army on 30 January 1917.<ref>London Gazette 13 April 1917</ref>

He was subsequently appointed to the Indian Army on 14 February 1917 <ref>London Gazette 4 September 1917</ref> and appointed to the [[18th King George's Own Lancers]] which he joined in France in May 1917. <ref>History of the 19th King George’s Own Lancers, 1858-1921 by Hudson, published 1927.</ref>

During the First World War, he served in the Fifth Cavalry Division in France and Belgium and in the [[Desert Mounted Corps]] in Palestine and Syria. Bullock was the official cinematographer for [[General Allenby]]'s arrival in Aleppo.

He was an athletic man of 6 feet, 2 inches who not only won boxing competitions at Sherborne School, but later also boxed for the Cavalry Corps. Hunting and photo expeditions led him along the upper Nile and to Kurdistan.

After two years in hospital with injuries and various tropical diseases, he retired from the Indian Army, receiving a gratuity, with the rank of Captain in July 1923.<ref>London Gazette 28 March 1924, page 2624. "The KING has approved the retirement of the following officers, under the provisions of the Royal Warrants, dated 23rd April 1922 and 23rd April 1923, with effect from the dates specified: — INDIAN ARMY. Captains. C. P. W. Robinson. 24th Jan. 1923. Bt. Maj. J. M. Whittall. 23rd May 1923. J. C. C. Bullock. 8th July 1923."</ref>
