John Grant "Jack" Duncan-Hughes {{post-nominals|country=GBR|MC}} (1 September 1882 – 13 August 1962) was an Australian politician.

Personal life

Born at Hughes Park near Watervale, South Australia, John Grant Duncan-Hughes was educated at St Peters College in Adelaide, and then at the University of Adelaide and Cambridge University. He died in 1962.[1]

Career

In 1907, he became a barrister, and served with the British Army's Royal Field Artillery in 1915-1918. He was awarded the Military Cross in the 1918 Birthday Honours, and the Croix de guerre from Belgium.[2]

He was aide-de-camp and secretary to the Governor-General before entering politics. In 1922, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Liberal member for Boothby, defeating sitting Nationalist MP William Story. Duncan-Hughes and his fellow Liberals were running largely on a platform of opposition to Prime Minister Billy Hughes. When Hughes resigned to make way for Stanley Bruce as Prime Minister, the Liberal Party dissolved and its members joined the Nationalists. He held Boothby as a Nationalist until his defeat in 1928. After serving as a United Australia Party senator for South Australia from 1932 to 1938, Duncan-Hughes returned to the House in 1940 as the United Australia Party member for Wakefield. He was defeated in 1943 and became a lawyer.[1]
