Robert Dudley Stull was born on April 27, 1921, in Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa. He was the son of Charles Dudley Stull and Rosalia Marie "Rose" Roschitsch Stull. He served in the 93rd Bomber Squadron, 19th Bomber Group, Heavy, as a Technician 3rd Grade during World War II.

After the fall of Bataan in the hands of the Japanese Army on April 9, 1942, T3 Stull was one of the 10,000 to 12,000 Americans who were forced to march over 60 miles under brutal conditions, resulting in 1,000 to 5,000 deaths due to starvation, dehydration, and abuse. Survivors were sent to Camp O'Donnell, where dire conditions, including overcrowding, malnutrition, and disease, caused an additional 1,500 to 2,300 American deaths within weeks. Those who survived faced ongoing hardships, including transfers to other camps and forced labor, where many continued to suffer or die.

T3 Stull was among the American soldiers who lost their lives in captivity on June 14, 1942. He is now buried in the Clarendon Hills Cemetery, Darien, DuPage County, Illinois, USA.
