Born in British-controlled India, Bullen's military career took him around Asia in the 1880s before he was assigned to British Antarctica in 1890, during the Kilaiye War. He became enamoured with the continent, and requested a permanent position in the British Antarctic colonies, which he was granted in the form of a post in rural Grahamland, where indigenous uprisings were still problematic. Bullen rose swiftly through the ranks, and by the turn of the century he held a high position in the British Army's Antarctic headquarters in Cookstown, Eduarda.

| - Born in British-controlled India, Bullen's military career took him around Asia in the 1880s before he was assigned to British Antarctica in 1890, during the Kilaiye War. He became enamoured with the continent, and requested a permanent position in the British Antarctic colonies, which he was granted in the form of a post in rural Grahamland, where indigenous uprisings were still problematic. Bullen rose swiftly through the ranks, and by the turn of the century he held a high position in the British Army's Antarctic headquarters in Cookstown, Eduarda. A dispute with the high command over the Army's handling of the Berkner Land War led to Bullen's reassignment to rural Inner Antarctica, widely considered the most untamed region in all of British Antarctica. He made General in 1907, and returned to Cookstown, where he was made the Commander of all Commonwealth Forces in Antarctica four years later, after the retirement of Thomas Chauncer. In 1914, the advent of World War I made Bullen, along with Russian general Sergei Gavrilov, one of the Supreme Allied Commanders on the continent. Bullen and Gavrilov's intense rivalry and mutual distrust created political infighting among the Allied commanders, giving the New Swabians a slight head-start on war preparations; though when they were finally able to organize themselves they proved to be a formidable force. In 1916, New Swabia capitulated, and Bullen took charge of it's occupation (much to Gavrilov's chagrin). Following the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, the region became a British Mandate, and Bullen resigned his Command to continue his administration until 1924, when he retired.
