He was born in Ballarat to engineer Alfred Gordon Fry and Edith Elizabeth Andrews. He attended state schools at Ballarat before studying at Melbourne University and becoming a schoolteacher. On 19 September 1936 he married Lilian Gwendoline Macrae, with whom he had four sons. From 1940 to 1945 he served in the Australian Imperial Force, commanding the 47th Battalion in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. He attained the rank of lieutenant-colonel and was mentioned in dispatches, and subsequently headed a commission investigating war crimes in the Pacific. On his return he taught at Camperdown State School from 1946 to 1956, and was subsequently headmaster of Cheltenham, Windsor and Cheltenham Heights state schools. He had joined the Liberal Party in 1947, and from 1963 to 1972 served on Moorabbin City Council; he was mayor from 1968 to 1969. In 1967 he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Council for Higinbotham Province. He was elected President of the Council in 1976, and retired from politics in 1979; he was knighted the following year. Fry died at Richmond in 2000.[1] References1. ^{{cite web | last = Parliament of Victoria | first = | authorlink = Parliament of Victoria | coauthors = | title = Fry, Sir William Gordon | work = re-member: a database of all Victorian MPs since 1851 | publisher = Parliament of Victoria | date = 2001 | url = http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/re-member/bioregfull.cfm?mid=1078 | format = | doi = | accessdate = 8 November 2015}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-vic-lc}}{{s-bef|before=Sir Raymond Garrett}}{{s-ttl|title=President of the Victorian Legislative Council|years=1976–1979}}{{s-aft|after=Fred Grimwade}}{{s-bef|before=Baron Snider}}{{s-ttl|title=Member for Higinbotham | years=1967–1979 | alongside=Murray Hamilton}}{{s-aft|after=Robert Lawson}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Fry, William}} 9 : 1909 births|2000 deaths|Liberal Party of Australia members of the Parliament of Victoria|Members of the Victorian Legislative Council|Presidents of the Victorian Legislative Council|Australian Knights Bachelor|Australian Army officers|Australian military personnel of World War II|20th-century Australian politicians |
