}}Roland Frederick Herbert Green (29 October 1885 – 27 April 1947) was an Australian politician. He attended Sydney Boys High School [1] and served in the 6th Battalion AIF in the First World War, until losing a leg at the Battle of Menin Road in Belgium, in September 1917.[2]

To general surprise, Green won the House of Representatives seat of Richmond for the Country Party at the December 1922 election, defeating the sitting member and government minister Walter Massy-Greene. Green used an ingenious punning campaign slogan: "Vote for the Green without an E" (i.e. "a knee"). Lack of an E in his name also gave him precedence on the ballot paper over Massy-Greene (who had not adopted a hyphenated surname at that time).[3]

He remained the member for Richmond until his defeat at the 1937 election by Larry Anthony (senior), another Country Party candidate.[4]
