==Military career==
Second Lieutenant Fulmer was one of the pilots who descended with gliders in Operation Market Garden. During battles of the 82nd Airborne Division in the area of Nijmegen from September 17 until October 4, 1944, Lt. Fulmer, in the words of the royal order, "distinguished himself in battle by committing the following excellent acts of bravery, planning and loyalty:
On September 18, 1944, he served as second pilot of a Douglas C-47 during the air raid in the Netherlands, also known as operation 'Market Garden'. The airplane of Lieutenant Fulmer, carrying an entire unit of parachute troops and an amount of very explosive substances, was heavily damaged by defensive fire from the Wehrmacht, which caused the pilot to lose consciousness and caused a heavy fire. Taking over the wheel of the machine, he stood firmly at his post, while parachute troops and the crew could save themselves by jumping out of the plane. Despite serious burns to the face, neck, back, and arms, he managed to place the machine on the land〔The original Dutch text uses the word for "land" and not the Dutch word for "ground".〕 in an heroic attempt to save the unconscious pilot's life. Lieutenant Fulmer showed extraordinary heroism during this act and did not take his own safety into account."〔(Original Dutch text on www.onderscheidingen.nl )〕
