I'm sure you're completely up to date, but just in case, I found the newspaper report of his accident.

Delighted to find this site and topic. William Stanley Pullen was my husband's uncle's brother by marriage. The direct Pullen line ended without issue in the 1980s, but we are looking after an archive of photos from that branch of the family. Interested to contact anyone who is more closely linked to William Stanley Pullen.
