Ivone Kirkpatrick
Sir Ivone Augustine Kirkpatrick GCB, GCMG (1897 – 25 May 1964) was a British diplomat who served as the British High Commissioner in Germany after the war, and as the Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (the highest-ranking civil servant in the Foreign Office)
==Early life and family==
Kirkpatrick was born on 3 February 1897 in Wellington, India, the elder son of Colonel Ivone Kirkpatrick(1860–1936) of the South Staffordshire Regiment, and his wife, Mary (d. 1931), daughter of General Sir Arthur Edward Hardinge, later Commander-in-Chief, Bombay army, and Governor of Gibraltar.
His father was a descendant of a Scottish family which settled in Ireland during the eighteenth century. His mother was former maid of honour to Queen Victoria, and her grandfather Henry Hardinge, first Viscount Hardinge of Lahore, served in the cabinets of Wellington and Peel, and was later governor-general of India in 1844–8. Her first cousin, Charles Hardinge, Baron Hardinge of Penshurst, was Permanent Under-Secretary of the Foreign Office in 1906–10 and 1916–20, and Viceroy of India in 1910–16.
Being a Roman Catholic, Kirkpatrick was sent to Downside School to be educated between 1907 to 1914. Kirkpatrick volunteered for active service on the outbreak of the First World War and was commissioned in November 1914 in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. Severely wounded in action against the Turks in August 1915, he was accepted by Balliol College, Oxford, in October, but chose to resume his war service early in 1916 when he was employed in propaganda and intelligence activities. During the last year of the war he was stationed in the Netherlands from where he worked as a Spymaster, running a network of British agents operating in German-occupied territory.
