Biography Ragg was born in Suva in 1882, the third son of Hugh Hall Ragg.

In his mid-50s he bought a hotel in Lautoka and established the Northern Hotels company. However, he was chosen as one of the two nominated European members for another term. During his time in the Legislative Council, he served in the Executive Council between 1945 and 1954, and was also member of the Town Boards of both Ba and Lautoka. His older brother Amie was also an MLC.

He died at his home in the Tamavua area of Suva in May 1963. His funeral was described by Pacific Islands Monthly as "probably the biggest ever seen at Suva."
