Andrew Barkworth Wright

Sir Andrew Barkworth Wright KCMG CBE MC with Bar (30 November 1895 – 24 March 1971) was a British colonial administrator and army officer.

He served as an officer in the Suffolk Regiment during World War I and won the Military Cross (MC) in 1917.

He re-enlisted in the army during World War II but left in 1943 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel to become Colonial Secretary of Trinidad.

During his tenure as Governor, the Colonial Development Corporation implemented the failed Yundum egg scheme and the marginal experimental rice farm at Wallikunda.

He also adopted a policy of Africanization in the civil service and sought to reduce European privilege, for instance, by opening up the 'European block' at the Royal Victoria Hospital.
