BiographyHistory

'Born in South Sydney, Hughes was the son of lawyer and aviator Geoffrey Forrest Hughes. His grandfather and great-uncle were members of the New South Wales Legislative Council. He was educated at Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview, and the University of Sydney, where he graduated in law. He served in the Royal Australian Air Force in World War II and was awarded the French Légion d'honneur in 2005 for his courage while flying planes in the Invasion of Normandy.[1] He was called to the Sydney bar in 1949, becoming a QC in 1962.'
