Lived in Haarlem, Maasstraat 84. Son of assistant mechanical engineer at Hoogovens, Gerrit van der Hulst (6 June 1897 Amsterdam) and Johanna Christina van Rooij. Unmarried. Student at the Nautical College, Reformed Restored Connection. Member of the resistance under the alias Beer. He belonged to KP-Haarlemmermeer, helped people in hiding obtain ration cards, collected information about German defences, contributed to the illegal magazine De Patriot, participated in raids and freed prisoners. Van der Hulst, Jacob Lenderink (7 May 1918 Haarlem) and Albertus Antonius Maria Hoekstra (born 10 August 1923 Amersfoort) went to a farm in Abbenes on 8 September 1944 with weapons and ammunition to guard the ring dike at the De Leeghwater pumping station. When he was about to leave to pick up two fellow resistance fighters, two members of the Landwacht found some of the weapons and he was arrested. After being interrogated, he was executed by firing squad behind the farm, together with the two other KP members. His father was also a member of the resistance and died on 8 March as a result of hardship after being transferred to the German concentration camp Buchenwald. His name is listed on a memorial in Abbenes. He was posthumously awarded the Resistance Memorial Cross.

Van der Hulst was cremated on 9 September 1944 in Driehuis (municipality of Velsen) under number 16199. The urn containing his ashes was first interred in a general niche at Westerveld crematorium and on 10 December 1947 buried in plot 40 of the Bloemendaal war cemetery.
