Henry Chilton
Sir Henry Chilton GCMG (15 October 1877 – 20 November 1954) was a British diplomat who was minister to the Vatican and ambassador to Chile, to Argentina, and to Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
==Career==
Henry Getty Chilton was educated at Wellington College and joined the Diplomatic Service as an attaché in 1902.〔(The London Gazette, 18 April 1902 )〕 He served at Vienna, Copenhagen, The Hague, Brussels, Berlin and Washington, D.C., before being appointed Counseller of Embassy at Rio de Janeiro in 1920 and then at Washington in 1921. In 1924 he was promoted to be Minister to the United States〔(The London Gazette, 29 July 1924 )〕 under the Ambassador, Sir Esmé Howard. Still with the rank of Minister, he was the UK envoy to the Vatican 1928–30.〔(The London Gazette, 30 November 1928 )〕 He was then promoted to Ambassador and posted to Chile 1930–33,〔(The London Gazette, 26 August 1930 )〕 to Argentina 1933–35〔(The London Gazette, 30 January 1934 )〕 and to Spain 1935–39.〔(The London Gazette, 22 November 1935 )〕
Soon after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936 several embassies in Madrid, including the British, evacuated to Hendaye, in France on the border with Spain.〔(Hendaye Now Center For Envoys To Spain ), ''The New York Times'', 2 August 1936〕 "Chilton was a blatant admirer of the nationalists and preferred to stay in Hendaye rather than return to Madrid"〔Beevor, Antony, (''The Battle for Spain, The Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939'' ), Hachette, 2012〕 while it was still under Republican control. He left Hendaye on long leave prior to retirement in December 1937: ''The Times'' said "His has been an exacting, delicate and in many respects a thankless task, carried out with unfailing courtesy and devotion to duty."〔Sir Henry Chilton Leaves Hendaye, ''The Times'', London, 30 December 1937, page 10〕 Geoffrey Thompson, secretary to the embassy, was ''chargé d'affaires'' until Owen O'Malley, who held Minister rank, took over the embassy at Hendaye. Chilton returned to Hendaye in May 1939 on his way to Madrid to collect his belongings. He was succeeded as Ambassador by Sir Maurice Peterson in the autumn of 1939.〔British Embassy in Madrid, ''The Times'', London, 27 May 1939, page 11〕
During the Second World War Chilton worked in the Ministry of Economic Warfare and then in the Ministry of Information. He accompanied Lord Willingdon on a trade mission to South America 1940–41.
