Harry Andreas

[8] From his earliest years out of school, Andreas is notable as a sportsman with his activities chronicled by the Sydney Morning Herald and other newspapers.

[14] During the 1927 Royal Tour of Australasia, Andreas acted as a fishing guide for The Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth) in the Bay of Islands.

[15] Whilst her parents were fishing with Andreas the young Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II) was at home in London but during the 1954 Royal Visit to Australia, Andreas welcomed Her Majesty and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh as guests at Leuralla.

[16] From as early as 1906, Andreas was the Country Vice-president in Leura for the Old Newingtonians' Union (ONU) and he continued to serve in that position until his death in 1955.

[17] Andreas presented annually a Hardy Brothers medal to the Newington College boy who was the highest scorer in the AAGPS shooting competition.
