Historian, specializing in Russian history.
|
| Eulogy
given by his son David Grey in 1996: "The address I am going to give today takes
the form of an obituary. This is mainly because my father was, if not secretive
then certainly a private man. He never spoke about his achievements or his
history, but they DO make very good reading. Some of you may know some of what I
am going to say, but I doubt that you'll have heard all of it. We ourselves are
only now discovering things about him that we never knew, and I'm sure that once
we have had time to read the diary he kept since he was 16 years old, there will
be enough materiel for an epic movie, even if the early hand-writing was more
akin to that of a doctor! We asked Susie Burchett his long term friend and
collegue from the CPA, to write the obituary which is going to the Times, and it
is this that I am going to read. Ian
Grey... Russian historian and author, servant
of the Commonwealth, died on June the 5th, he was born in New Zealand on May the
5th 1918. A distinguished writer of Russian history whose books ranging from
Peter the Great to Stalin, were required reading in many Academic institutes and
Universities. He was a long time contributer to the Encyclopaedia Brittanica,
and was well-known throughout the Commonwealth as the Editor and Deputy
Secretary-General of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. Ian, although
born in New Zealand, educated at Scotts College, Sydney and the University of
Sydney, where he gained his law degree, spent the rest of his life in Britain,
apart from his distinguished war service as a Royal Austhalian Naval Volunteer
Reserve. With Russian as his second language, learned at University, he was
seconded as Liaison Officer and interpreter to the Royal Navy whose ships were,
from 1942 to 1944 engaged in the Russian convoy runs to Murmansk and Archangel.
These runs were horrendously expensive, in terms of men and materiel. Ian was
well-known in all branches of the Royal Navy for his fluent Russian and
knowledge of the country and its history, for which he had great affection.
Towards the end of the war he was posted to Moscow as an intelligence Officer
and was the official interpreter at many important meetings of allied commanders
like Molotov. At the end of the war, speaking Russian, German, Italian and
French, he was posted as a Major to the Allied Control Commission in Germany
which was investigating the war crimes. After the war he and Winsome, settled in
England where he joined the Russian section of the Foreign Office. Subsequent to
that he worked for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association where he remained
for the rest of his working life. He edited two periodicals the Parliamentarian
and The Report On World Affairs, his background knowledge giving him unique
insight. Throughout this latter career, he continued to produce books on Russian
history for which he became very well-known, not least over his disagreements
with other Russian historians and their interpretation of the Stalin era, and of
many other events at which Ian was actually present. 12 books have been
published to date but only eight weeks ago he was putting the finishing touches
to a semi-autobiographicai novel which we hope will be published in the near
future. His career at the CPA spanned nearly 30 years, first as Assistant
Editor, then Deputy Editor and finally Editor and Deputy Secretary-General. He
had first hand contact with most heads of Government and his ideas for creating
the parliamentary wing of the Commonwealth are recognised today. One of his most
far-reaching achievements was in the setting up of the Working Capital Fund and
persuading Commonwealth Parliaments to donate money to the pursuit of the ideals
of parliamentary democracy through educational projects, seminars, study groups
and regional conferences. He will be sadly missed in the Commonwealth by those
who appreciated his vision. Ian will be remembered as man with views which were
not always accepted by the establishment. This may well explain why he was never
honoured which his friends and admirers always thought a serious oversight. He
could be brusque and he never suffered fools gladly but he was a genuine
visionary and that should be his epitaph. He was utterly devoted to his wife of
52 years and his whole family. He will be remembered with love and affection by
all those whose lives he enriched." |

traceable loss for that day is MTB 417, so it's possible he was aboard his

Came to Australia at
the age of four. Having been an outstanding student of languages (first place in
French in the state of NSW at the Leaving Certificate of 1937, an Exhibitioner
at the University of Sydney in 1938, a medallist and prize-winner in 1942), he
became in 1953 the first professor of French and head of the Department of
Modern Languages at the then Canberra University College. In the meantime, he
spent the years 1942-46 in the Royal Australian Navy Volunteer Reserve,
completed a doctorate at the Sorbonne (1950) and lectured in French at the
University of Birmingham for two years. From 1960, once the college had become
the School of General Studies (later the Faculties) of the Australian National
University, he continued in both positions (till 1983). |
