[4] In 1909, Sir George Bullough bought the Down House, Redmarley, where he moved his stud, breeding horses which became well known, such as Ethnarch, Grand Vitesse, Valois and Ellanvale.

[8] Bullough served as a cavalry officer with the Imperial Yeomanry from 1908 to 1911 and because of his horsemanship, during World War I he was appointed a superintendent with the Remount Department with the rank of major.

For his services to his country, George Bullough was created a baronet "of the island of Rùm and of Down House in the parish of Redmarley in the County of Worcester" on 21 January 1916.
