He was born in Wanganui on 20 July 1916.[1] In 1956, he was tasked by Jack Marshall, then Minister of Justice, with setting up the New Zealand Security Service. Over 19 years, he served under seven Prime Ministers.[1] He was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in the 1976 Birthday Honours,[2] just one month prior to his retirement.[1] He was born as Herbert Ellery Gilbert.
