• ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
  
  Reverend Hubert Ernest de Mey Warren was born in 1885. He joined the Church Missionary Society's Aboriginal mission at Roper River in the Northern Territory in 1913.
  In 1916-21 he explored the east Arnhem Land coast and islands to find sites for 'a chain of missions' on the west of the Gulf of Carpentaria. In 1921 Warren started the C.M.S. mission at the Emerald River on Groote Eylandt to house and train children of mixed descent from camps and towns in eastern areas of the Northern Territory.
  In 1933-34 Warren led a 'peace expedition' to Arnhem Land. In response to the killing of five Japanese trepangers, two white beachcombers and a policeman by Aborigines at Caledon Bay on the east Arnhem Land coast, police had planned a punitive expedition. The C.M.S. intervened and Warren, Rev. A. J. Dyer and D. H. Fowler made contact with the Aborigines implicated in the incident and persuaded them to go to Darwin.
