Arthur de la Mare
Sir Arthur de la Mare KCMG KCVO (15 February 1914 – 15 December 1994) was a British diplomat.
==Career==
Arthur James de la Mare was born into a farming family in Jersey. He was educated at Victoria College, Jersey, then won a scholarship to Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he gained a double first in modern languages. He joined the Foreign Service in 1936 and served in Tokyo, Seoul, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. before being appointed ambassador to Afghanistan 1963–65,〔(The London Gazette, 19 July 1963 )〕 High Commissioner in Singapore 1968–70 and ambassador to Thailand 1970–73.〔(The London Gazette, 17 November 1970 )〕
De la Mare's valedictory dispatches from Thailand and Singapore are included in Matthew Parris's book (''Parting Shots'' ) (Penguin, 2011).
He lived in the 1960s and 1970s in Walton on Thames, Surrey. He had an impish sense of humour. One of his neighbours, Valissa Gordon, saw Sir Arthur, somewhat shabbily dressed, doing the gardening in 1965. Assuming he was a hired hand, Mrs Gordon asked him whether he would be willing to do the gardening at her house. He readily agreed. It took him some weeks to reveal to his neighbour that he was the ex-ambassador to Afghanistan and a Knight of the British Empire.
