Vincent Massey

Vincent Massey, 1952

His Excellency The Right Honorable Vincent Massey (1887-1967) was a Canadian politician and diplomat who served as Governor General of Canada from 1952 to 1959. Massey was preceded by His Excellency Viscount Alexander. Both have very long Wikipedia entries, but the Viscount, Harold Rupert Leofric George Alexander, 1st Earl Alexander of Tunis, wins on length of name and title.

His Excellency Viscount Massey was photographed on this day, April 19, in 1952. He was also photographed in 1943, as High Commissioner for Canada, and again as Governor General, in 1955.
