A DIRECTORY OF BRITISH DIPLOMATS: 1900-2011 

CONTENTS: 

Foreign Office/Foreign and Commonwealth Office: pages 3-68 

Diplomatic Missions Overseas(alphabetically by country): pages 69-166 

Consul-Generals(alphabetically by city): pages 167-206 

Introduction: 

These lists are a companion to ‘British Ambassadors and High Commissioners 1880- 

2010’ on this site. The Notes provided on page 1 of that document apply here also. 

The principal source used has again been the annual Foreign Office List(from 1965 the 

Diplomatic Service List). As noted previously however publication ceased in 2006. 

I have not been able to date to access copies prior to 1917. Additionally I have made extensive 

use of both ‘Whitaker’s Almanack’ and ‘Who’s Who’. 

The Foreign Office List contains lists of previous British Ambassadors abroad. Prior to around 

1950 the List also included lists of previous British Consul-Generals. To my knowledge what is 

attempted in this Directory has not previously appeared in print or online. 

The lists included below involve a degree of selection on my part and may appear, to an extent, to 

be somewhat arbitrary. I have however tried to include most of the Ministers within British 

Embassies and High Commissions. 

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

without any doubt be some mistakes and inaccuracies. It is however my hope that sharing the 

information I have been able to accumulate will be of some use to others. I am only too happy to 

be corrected where I am in error.

Notes: 

1. Deputy Under-Secretaries and Assistant Under-Secretaries. 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. I have simply 

listed Deputy and Assistant Under-Secretaries up to 1945 without including specific 

responsibilities. 

2. Foreign Office Heads of Department. 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. 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. I have not attempted to reflect these 

changes and the departmental listings do not, by and large, extend beyond the mid 1990s. 

3. Counsellors. I have included in these lists as far as possible those Counsellors who could be 

identified as the ‘senior’ Counsellors within an Embassy or High Commission. In most cases 

these individuals held the additional post of Head of Chancery or, more recently, Deputy 

Head of Mission or Counsellor(Political). I have also attempted to provide lists of the 

Commercial Counsellors in at least the major British diplomatic missions abroad. 

4. Consul-Generals. The choice here may well appear to be somewhat arbitrary but those cities 

include most of the major locations of British Consul-Generals. Deputy High 

Commissioners based in major cities within Australia, Canada, India, Nigeria and Pakistan 

are included in this section. 

5. Honours and decorations are given for postholders but these are not necessarily those held 

whilst the individual was in post but are the ‘final’ honours awarded to the postholder. It would 

have required a great deal more time and effort to identify which honours each individual held 

whilst in each particular post. 

6. Reference should be made to the companion list of British Ambassadors and High 

Commissioners for detail of periods during which no diplomatic relations existed with a 

particular state.
