Dame Georgiana was the only child of General Sir Redvers Buller, also of Downes, and the plaque Mr Parker unveiled was on Belair House, County Hall, Exeter, where she lived from 1926 until her death in 1953.
Georgiana was heavily involved with the fledgeling Voluntary Aid Organisation (VAO) in the first few years of the 20th century that grew into the British Red Cross Society, and which was responsible for running hundreds of mostly convalescent hospitals up and down the country during World War One.
The seven Exeter hospitals became Exeter Central Military Hospital and Georgiana was appointed Commander (the only female commander in the country) of it as well as 48 auxiliary hospitals throughout Devon, including two in Crediton.
In the 1920’s Georgiana was instrumental in establishing the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital (PEOH) which opened in Exeter in 1927.
She went on to establish the St Loyes Foundation that opened in Exeter in 1937.
At the age of 30, shortly after having been appointed the VAO Deputy Director in Devon, Georgiana suffered a serious spinal injury in a riding accident and it was whilst convalescing that she was asked to find an additional 150 beds in Exeter, that eventually grew to 1,500.
Her disability energised her to achieve what she did at the PEOH and St Loyes, and other disability ventures and fundraising.
She was awarded the Royal Red Cross at the end of the war and appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1920.
Today she lies in the Buller family vault in Crediton churchyard.
