PREFACE

The material included in this Directory is the accumulation of decades of research. I recall

watching the 1956 film “The Battle of the River Plate” and being entranced by the almost

Ruritarian romanticism (as I saw it as an impressionable nine-year old) of the name of the

British Minister in Montevideo-Sir Eugen Millington-Drake. My further interest in the

Diplomatic Service originated from a Christmas present in 1959 of my first copy of

“Whitaker’s Almanack”. I had been fascinated for some time by the names of, for example,

Roman, Byzantine and Holy Roman Emperors and had been a compulsive ‘list-maker’ from

a very early age. As a teenager I became increasingly fascinated by the identities of members

the Diplomatic Service, senior officers in the Armed Forces and other public servants and in

their career progression.

Over the succeeding decades, during my spare time from teaching History in Scottish

secondary schools, I tried to compile and to update paper copies of lists of these individuals.

With the coming of the internet and the decision to put these lists online the project has grown

and developed. Not only did developments in technology afford the opportunity to more

systematically revise and improve the lists it suggested the possibility that others interested in

these matters would be able to access the material.

There is no shortage of sources for information on British Diplomatic representation overseas

at the level of Heads of Mission. This project however goes beyond that level. It attempts to

provide information on a wider range of positions within the Diplomatic Service, the Colonial

Service and the India Office. As far as I am aware such an exercise has not been attempted before.

In recent months the welcome and invaluable co-operation and support of the Foreign and

Commonwealth Office in making copies of the Foreign Office and Diplomatic Service Lists

available to me has ensured that the accuracy of the information provided has been much

improved and has made it possible for me to extend the chronological coverage considerably.

The interest shown in this project by the Historians’ section of the Foreign and Commonwealth

Office and by members of the Foreign and Commonwealth Association has been most gratifying.

The support and encouragement I have received from the historians and from a number of ex-

diplomats has enabled me to make the material much more complete, more comprehensive and

more accurate than would otherwise have been the case. In particular I would like to thank Mark

Bertram, a former Head of the Overseas Estate Department at the FCO, without whose interest,

help in facilitating access to the current FCO and encouragement the project would never have

reached its current state.

This Directory cannot be fully comprehensive. A number of past and present organizations,

departments and posts have been omitted. To those who may be aggrieved at particular

omissions I can only offer my apologies.

It is hoped however that the project will provide a reference tool for those engaged in research or

study of British Diplomatic and Colonial History and will be of interest to those who have served

or serve in the Diplomatic Service.

It is obvious that I am an “outsider” attempting to chronicle the careers of senior diplomats and

colonial officials. I am immensely proud that others are now of the opinion that this project is

worthy of the official endorsement of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and worth preserving

as a permanent record. It will, one day, become the responsibility of others to continue to update.

INTRODUCTION

SCOPE AND STRUCTURE

This Directory includes senior British diplomats, and other British civil servants working in a

similar capacity, who held posts overseas and in London.

It is confined to individuals who worked at Counsellor/Assistant Secretary grades and above.

The main part of the Directory(Sections A-D) relates to the Diplomatic Service since 1789 and

to the Foreign Office since 1841. The starting point of the year 1789 in both Sections A and B

was chosen because of the use made of the volume published by the Royal Historical Society:

“British Diplomatic Representatives 1789-1852”(Bindoff, Malcolm Smith and Webster, 1934).

It includes those who served in the succession of Offices which were merged with the Foreign

Office in the later part of the twentieth century(the Dominions Office 1925-47, the

Commonwealth Relations Office 1947-66 and the Commonwealth Office 1966-1968) to become

the Foreign and Commonwealth Office(FCO) in 1968.

Section A is an Alphabetical List of British Diplomats and their appointments from 1789 until

the present. It includes all those individuals who held posts listed in Sections B, C and D but

the appointments given for each individual are by necessity only those contained in the lists in

subsequent sections.

Section B is an alphabetical list of countries in which diplomatic missions and subsidiary posts

have been established, with successive holders of senior posts in each.

Section C records the changing structure in London of the Foreign Office between 1841 and

1968 and of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office since then, and lists the successive holders

of the titles described. (This Directory, as far as I am aware, is the first to attempt such a

summary.)

Section D is comparable to Section C, but deals solely with the Dominions Office, Commonwealth

Relations Office and Commonwealth Office from their inception until their absorption by a

successor Department.

The remainder of the Directory(Sections E-J) relate to the Colonial Office and the India Office.

Section E is an alphabetical list of Colonial officials from 1850 until the date of a colony’s

independence and of Colonial Office senior officials, with the posts held by each.

Section F is an alphabetical list of Colonies with lists of Governors and the Colonial or Chief

Secretaries in each. Section G covers the structure of the Colonial Office since 1854

and lists its senior officials until its merger with the Commonwealth Relations Office in 1966.

Sections H, I and J relate to the India Office between 1858 and 1947 and provide coverage of

both Indian Governors and the senior staff of the India Office in London.

SOURCES

A Select Bibliography is provided on page 8. Initially the principal source used was the annual

Foreign Office List(from 1965 the Diplomatic Service List). However publication of this

invaluable source ceased in 2006. In addition, latterly the annual editions only provided complete

lists of the names of Ambassadors for the previous twenty years or so.

My access to these Lists (and to those of the Colonial Office, India Office and Commonwealth

Relations Office-as the project expanded) was through very lengthy periods over many years

spent working in the Reference Room of the Edinburgh Public Library. That library however

does not hold copies of these lists from the earlier part of my chosen period. In the later stages of

the exercise I had the advantage of being able to work at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Library and at the National Archives at Kew and to make use of the Lists unavailable in

Edinburgh.

DIPLOMATS AND HOME CIVIL SERVANTS

While the great majority of officials in this Directory would nowadays be called diplomats, thus

justifying the title of this Directory, many of them were not defined as diplomats at the time of

their service. The definition of a diplomat has widened significantly since the early twentieth

century. Until 1919 a British diplomat was a member of the Diplomatic Service, which staffed

missions overseas. It had been uncommon for such a diplomat to be employed within the Foreign

Office in London although such employment had been increasing prior to the end of the First

World War. When the Diplomatic Service and the Foreign Office were officially merged in 1919

all of the staff became members of the new Diplomatic Service. Foreign Office staff, in other

words, became diplomats. Similarly, the Consular Service had been separate until it too was

merged with the Diplomatic Service at the end of the Second World War. All former

Commonwealth Relations Office and Colonial Office staff who joined the Foreign Office in the

mid-1960s to create the Foreign and Commonwealth Office were transferred from the Home

Civil Service to the Diplomatic Service, thereby becoming diplomats.

GENERAL NOTES

There are a few gaps in the lists of postholders overseas and in the succession of departments at

home. Chief among the gaps are Colonial Office departments and postholders during the Second

World War. The Colonial Office List was not published between 1941 and 1945 or in 1947.

The cessation of publication of the Diplomatic Service List in 2006 has made it exceptionally

difficult to identify a number of postholders beyond Heads of Missions overseas.

There will always be a certain amount of uncertainty regarding dates. It has not been possible

for me to emulate the depth of research into each post carried out by Bindoff, Malcolm Smith

and Webster or to consult the original documents and records available to them. The most

common area of difficulty in relation to dates is that the individual’s appointment to a

particular post and the actual assumption of duties may have occurred in successive calendar

years. Where possible I have used the dates given in the Foreign Office Lists but for other

appointments, particularly in the 19th century, where use has been made of, for example, the

London Gazette, the date of commencement is clearly that when the appointment was

announced in London. There can also be discrepancies between the information provided, for

example, in an official publication and the information included in an individual’s entry in

“Who’s Who”. Given that the latter represents the memory of an individual, which may

demonstrably be fallible, such discrepancies have been resolved in favour of official publications

where possible.

I have attempted to identify Acting appointments and to exclude those from the listings.

Throughout the entire project no attempt has been made to include those honours and

decorations held by an individual at the time of his or her occupation of a specific post.

For each person the “final” honours awarded are provided. Honours or decorations awarded

to diplomats by foreign governments or by Commonwealth countries are not included

The research involved in compiling these lists has been of exceptional difficulty and there will

without any doubt be some mistakes and inaccuracies, errors of transcription, typographical

errors, errors transliterated from the sources themselves. I hope that users will not be slow to

draw these to my attention. I can be contacted at [email protected]

The Directory will be updated at regular intervals and the FCO will arrange for the published

version in their ISSUU series to be similarly updated.

NOTES: SECTIONS A AND B

Ambassadors are the Heads of Mission in foreign countries. Strictly speaking they are the

representatives of the British Head of State in such countries.

Until the twentieth century however Ambassadors were appointed only to those countries deemed

of most importance to Britain. In other countries with which Britain had diplomatic relations, the

Mission was of a lesser status and was generally called a Legation, headed by a Minister. The term

Minister Resident was used for the representative in certain countries in, for example, South and

Central America and in the Balkans, which might have only recently become independent or were

regarded as of lesser international status.

Post 1945 there was a steady increase in the number of Legations upgraded to Embassies and

Legations died out altogether during the 1960s.

Changes in the status of representation for specific countries are noted in the listings.

In countries which are members of the Commonwealth the British Government is represented by a

High Commissioner.

The title of Minister also began to be accorded towards the end of the nineteenth century to the

effective “second-in-command” of the largest Embassies. The first such accreditation of a

diplomat as Minister within a major Embassy seems to have been to Paris in the 1860s. This

practice became more common during the twentieth century. After 1945 some major embassies

would also have a Minister(Commercial) with appropriate responsibilities. The changing nature

of British diplomatic relations with particular countries might lead to commensurate changes in

the staffing of Missions. Such changes will be evident from the listings.

Missions were staffed, at the level below Ambassador or Minister, by Secretaries of Embassy or

of Legation as appropriate. This title was replaced by the use of the word Counsellor from 1904.

The lists contained in Section B therefore use the word “Counsellor” as a short-hand method of

identifying such individuals. During the twentieth century the numbers of Counsellors in British

missions multiplied, with Counsellors(Commercial) becoming relatively normal appointments in

many countries and Counsellors with other designated responsibilities in the largest embassies.

I have included in these lists as far as possible those Counsellors who could be identified as the

‘senior’ Counsellors or the Counsellor(Political) within an Embassy or High Commission. In some

cases these individuals held the additional post of Head of Chancery(although the Head of

Chancery might equally be a First Secretary-the grade below that of Counsellor).

In more recent years the title of Deputy Head of Mission has apparently replaced that of Minister

and has also encompassed the role previously taken by those Counsellors appointed to Embassies

without a resident Minister.

I have also attempted to provide lists of the Commercial Counsellors in at least the major British

diplomatic missions abroad.

In the interests of continuity I have included some Secretaries of Legation during the decade prior

to the outbreak of the First World War who were ranked as First Secretaries rather than the

higher grade of Counsellor.

At the Consular level Consuls-General have been appointed to major cities in overseas countries.

I have attempted to provide lists of many of these appointments but it should be noted that there

have been frequent changes in the designation of consular appointments in many such cities over

the period covered by this Directory and in recent decades a number of Consuls-General posts

have disappeared or downgraded to Consulates.

The practice in some Commonwealth countries was to appoint a British Deputy High

Commissioner in certain major cities. This appointment should not be confused with the Deputy

High Commissioner within the British High Commission itself located in the country’s capital city.

In Australia Deputy High Commissioners located in such cities have now been replaced by

Consuls-General. This change has not, to date, been extended to India, Pakistan or Nigeria.

Where possible years of birth and of death are given but it has not always proved possible to

determine such information.

As far as possible breaks in diplomatic relations with a country are noted and briefly explained.

There were also occasions where, for particular reasons, British representation to a country might

be downgraded, with the withdrawal of the Ambassador, Minister or High Commissioner but the

retention of representation through a Charge d’Affaires. These too are noted where possible.

In the Alphabetical Sections (A, E and H) persons appointed to be Heads of Mission or to

Governorships who were not professional diplomats or civil cervants are included but only those

posts are listed and no attempt has been made to give a list of their other various appointments.

In a few cases however an appointment within, for example, the Cabinet Office might have been

if it had some responsibility for foreign policy.

Notes: Sections C-D

Within the Foreign Office, the Dominions Office and their successor Offices senior gradings

remained relatively unchanged until the last decade of the twentieth century; the Permanent

Under-Secretary, Deputy Under-Secretaries and Assistant Under-Secretaries.

Deputy Under-Secretaries and Assistant Under-Secretaries. The first Assistant Under-Secretary

appointed on a permanent basis in the Foreign Office was James Murray in 1858; the first

Deputy Under-Secretary Sir Victor Wellesley in 1925. It has been particularly difficult to identify the

specific departmental/geographical responsibilities of the holders of these posts prior to the

Second World War. Far fewer officials at those grades existed before 1939 and their

responsibilities were therefore usually much wider in scope than latterly. In addition the

responsibilities assigned to a particular senior official were subject to alteration and variation.

I have listed Deputy and Assistant Under-Secretaries up to 1945 whilst attempting to indicate

areas of specific responsibility where possible. The posts of Deputy Under-Secretary and of

Assistant Under-Secretary have now been retitled as Director-General and Director respectively.

Foreign Office Heads of Department. Until 1919 heads of department within the Foreign Office

were Senior Clerks. In some cases, prior to World War One, Departments were headed for a

period of time by an official with the rank of Acting Senior Clerk.

After the merger of the Foreign Office and the Diplomatic Service heads of department were

briefly given the grade of Assistant Secretary but then were given the rank of Counsellor.

Heads of Departments within the Dominions Office and its successors were Assistant Secretaries,

in line with practice in the Home Civil Service.

I have included many-but not all-of the departmental heads within the Foreign Office up to 1965

and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office thereafter. In general Departments are arranged by

date of establishment within the broad groupings used in, for example, the Plowden Report of

1964. The exception is the arrangement of Departments dealing with Geographical areas of

responsibility which are grouped together by continent to provide a more logical overview.

Over the past ten to fifteen years there have been a very considerable number of changes within

the FCO to the names and functions of most departments reflecting changes in the international

situation and in management practice. In some cases departments were initially established as

Units and subsequently renamed. The bewildering nature and rapidity of these changes have

created a severe challenge to the chronological tracing of responsibilities attempted in this

Directory. It must be noted therefore that coverage of the departmental structure of the FCO

since 2006 is at best patchy.

SECTION D: THE DOMINIONS/COMMONWEALTH RELATIONS/

COMMONWEALTH OFFICE

NOTE:

Between 1963 and 1968 the responsibilities of the Deputy and Assistant Under-Secretaries at the

Commonwealth Relations Office(Commonwealth Office from 1966) changed regularly. These

changes were the consequence of the rapidly evolving nature of the Commonwealth as more of

Britain’s former colonies were granted independence, of the increasing importance given to

economic development and aid and of the merger of the Colonial Office with the Commonwealth

Relations Office in 1966. In addition, the Dominions Office and Colonial Office List(1925-1947) is

silent on the specific departmental responsibilities of the Assistant Secretaries serving in the

Dominions Office. It is extremely difficult therefore to produce any form of meaningful and

consistent list of postholders with areas of responsibility. These lists therefore should be treated

with considerable caution during this period and cannot claim to be definitive.

NOTE: SECTIONS E-F

The sections of the Directory dealing with the British colonies include information on both

Colonial Governors and on Colonial and Chief Secretaries.

Colonial Secretaries should not be confused with the Secretary of State for the Colonies-the

political head of the Colonial Office. The Colonial Secretary of a colony was the chief

administrative officer to the Governor and would serve as Acting Governor in the absence on

leave of the Governor or during the interim between the departure of a Governor and the arrival

of his successor. In some Colonies however-in Africa in particular-this official had the title of Chief Secretary

Secretary. In colonies which became internally self-governing the post of Colonial Secretary was

renamed Chief Secretary. In the years immediately before the granting of independence to a

colony the post was often renamed again as Lieutenant-Governor.

The office of Lieutenant-Governor was, however, used throughout the period of this Directory in

Malta and, at various times in Ceylon and the Straits Settlements. It was also used in a number of

colonies before the office was raised to Governor status.

I believe that this is the first time that an attempt has been made to list all Colonial Secretaries.

Although in the interests of continuity the Governors-General of the Dominions: Australia, Canada,

New Zealand and South Africa have been listed these individuals have not been included in

Section E.

I am aware that Colonial officials were not Diplomats and that to include them in “A Directory of

British Diplomats” may be seen as inappropriate. It was convenient for me to collect the fruits of

my research into one consolidated document and publish it as such. I can only apologise to those

who worked in the British Colonies and who might well feel aggrieved by my decision.

NOTE: This list excludes those Governors of Bermuda, Gibraltar and Malta and High

SECTION G: THE COLONIAL OFFICE, 1862-1966

NOTE:

The Colonial Office List(Dominions and Colonial Office List from 1925 to 1947) is an immensely

valuable resource. There are however two particular problems which have made my research

difficult. Unlike the Foreign Office List, the Colonial Office List’s biographical section gives no

indication of the departmental responsibilities of the Senior Clerks/Assistant Secretaries. These

responsibilities can be identified from the information contained in the Lists in a given year but

the exact dates when an individual took up or left the post within the Colonial Office is not clear.

In addition, the Colonial Office List was not published between 1941 and 1945 or in 1947. This has

made it almost impossible to identify Heads of Department during the Second World War.
