    Interesting that there is no English Wikipedia article on him. In 1920, he was the Allied Commissioner for Armenian Relief: "HASKELL TO DIRECT RELIEF IN RUSSIA; Former Allied Commissioner in Armenia Will Leave Here on His Mission at Once. CHECKS ON RELIEF FOOD Kitchens Will Insure That Only Those It Is Intended For Will Get It. RIGA, Aug. 21.--Colonel William N. Haskell, who directed relief in Armenia, has been appointed to supervise the famine relief work of the American Relief Administration in Russia. It is announced that he will leave the United States for Russia immediately." NYT, August 22, 1921. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9804E6DF143EEE...

Story Bridge crew on the last day of construction, ca. 1939

    Building The Story Bridge A decade of building major bridge infrastructure projects in Brisbane cemented Sir Manuel Richard Hornibrook (often known as ‘MR’) as a pioneering Queenslander into the history of the state. A self-starter who built the family business with his brothers, MR gained contracts all along the Brisbane River from wharves to terminals to wool stores and more. The company became known for bridge building and enterprise and gained the biggest contracts offered in the history of the state. The Grey St/William Jolly Bridge, the Hornibrook Highway, and the Story Bridge were all opened between 1932 and 1940, opening up land, business, communication, and connecting people back and forth across a rapidly growing city and across Moreton Bay to Redcliffe from Sandgate. Exactly when was the Story Bridge built? Its construction commenced in 1935 and concluded in 1940 when the bridge opened for the first time to a crowd of 37,000 people.
