Ernest Clark (governor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Ernest Clark, GCMG, KCB, CBE (1864 - 1951) was Governor of Tasmania from 1933 to 1945. A former senior civil servant in Northern Ireland he was appointed Governor after the office had been vacant for some years. His appointment was extended owing to World War II. He was enormously popular in Tasmania, especially because of his untiring visits to all parts of the island State encouraging morale during the war. He was given the rare honour of GCMG at the end of hostilities.
