Harry Delamere Barter Dansey MBE (1 November 1920 – 6 November 1979) was a New Zealand Māori journalist, cartoonist, writer, broadcaster, local-body politician, and race relations conciliator. ==Early life== Harry Dansey was born in Greenlane, Auckland, New Zealand to Harry Delamere Dansey, a civil engineer, and his wife Winifred Patience Dansey (née Barter). Dansey began his education at Remuera Primary School in the Auckland suburb of Remuera. His family moved to Rotorua in 1930, where he completed the rest of his primary education, and then high school from 1934 to 1939. He had a knack for English, and his father instilled in him a love for Māori culture, somewhat influencing his career. He married Te Rina Makarita (Lena Margret) Hikaka on 19 May 1943 at Oeo, near the town of Manaia, Taranaki. He was a member of the 28th (Māori) Battalion during World War II in North Africa and Italy. Dansey often scouted ahead to gather intelligence information to aid the advancement of the Battalion. This required him to sketch landscapes and buildings, which he enjoyed. While in Italy, Dansey was assistant to Corporal Arapeta Awatere. He was discharged from the Army in 1946, reaching the rank of Sergeant.〔("Harry Dansey Biography on Dictionary of New Zealand Biography" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harry Dansey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
