The son of Sir Edward Hulse, 5th Baronet of the Hulse baronets, he was born at the family seat at Breamore House in Breamore, Hampshire.[1] He was educated at Radley College,[2] before going up to Charsley's Hall, Oxford.[3] He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Artillery Militia in February 1880,[4] serving with the militia at Fort Rowner.

He was promoted to captain in April 1885,[5] and in the same year he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Hampshire at Southampton.[6] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed in the MCC first innings for 22 runs by George Underdown.[7]

He was granted the honorary rank of major in September 1894 in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Artillery Militia,[8] with Hulse additionally holding the office of justice of the peace.[1] He joined the Imperial Yeomanry in February 1901, where he was given the honorary rank of second lieutenant.[9] Serving in the Second Boer War, he was killed in action in June 1901 at Braklaagte in the Orange Free State.[2]
