Rear Admiral George Dunbar Moore, (10 October 1893 – 27 July 1979) was a senior commander in the Royal Australian Navy and a diplomat.
Moore was appointed Australia's first Minister to the Philippines in 1950, leaving his position as naval flag officer in charge of Sydney to take up the post in Manila.[1] [2] In 1954, Moore made front-page news in the Philippines when local media claimed he lashed out at security officers at his residence.[3] Moore retired from the position a year later in July 1955.[4]
