Cutler, Sir Roden
▪ 2003

      Australian diplomat and public servant (b. May 14, 1916, Manly, N.S.W., Australia—d. Feb. 21, 2002, Sydney, Australia), was a distinguished war hero, ambassador, and the longest-serving governor (1966–81) of New South Wales. Cutler studied economics at the University of Sydney and joined an artillery division when World War II broke out. During the Syrian campaign in 1941, he lost a leg and was honoured with the Victoria Cross, the highest award for valour granted by the British armed forces. After the war he was appointed Australian high commissioner to New Zealand (1946–52). He later represented his country in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Egypt, Pakistan, the U.S., The Netherlands, the UN, and at the 1957 conference of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. Cutler was knighted in 1963 and was named governor of New South Wales three years later. After retiring from government service in 1981, he worked in finance.
