Horace Robertson

Lieutenant General Sir Horace Clement Hugh Robertson, KBE, DSO, (1894-1960) was an officer in the Australian Army.

During the Second World War he accepted the surrender of the Italian Navy at Benghazi. Following the war, he commanded the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan.

General Robertson (as he was normally known late in his career) was a key figure in establishing the Australian Armoured Corps. Its headquarters in Darwin are named "Robertson Barracks" in his honour.
