DEAMTH OF VICE-ADMIRAL SIR HASTINGS HARRIEGTON
Tribute by the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies
The death of Sir Hastings Harrington, so
unexpected, is a great loss.
After distinguished service in the Royal
Australian Navy, Admiral Harrington entered upon his duty
as Australian Commissioner-General to the Montreal Exposition.
This, I know, he found tremendously interesting, and in my
last discussion with him little more than a week or ten
days ago, he was in his usual acute frame of mind, and
there was certainly nothing to suggest what lay ahead.
His service to Australia will be his lasting
memorial. To his widow and family, I extend the sympathy
of every member of the Government,
CANBERRA, 17th December, 1965.
Menzies, Robert
Period of Service: 19/12/1949 - 26/01/1966
