Donald Gainer
Sir Donald Gainer (18 October 1891 – 30 July 1966) was a British diplomat who was, at times, Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Venezuela, Brazil and Poland.
==Career==
Donald St Clair Gainer was educated at Charterhouse and then in Germany and France. He joined the British Consular Service in 1915 and was vice-consul successively in several towns in Norway (Narvik, Vardø, Christianssand, Tromsø, Bergen), then in Havana where he was chargé d'affaires between ambassadors. After serving at Rotterdam and Munich he was sent in 1929 to set up a new consular post at Breslau (now Wrocław, western Poland). He was Consul-General in Mexico 1931–32, then at Munich 1932–38〔 'Batavia' is a misprint for 'Bavaria'〕 and Vienna 1938–39. The German government (which annexed Austria in 1938) expelled Gainer in 1939 in a tit-for-tat reprisal for the expulsion of the German consul at Liverpool.
Gainer was appointed Minister to Venezuela in 1939 and promoted to Ambassador in 1944. A few weeks later he was appointed ambassador to Brazil. He left Brazil in 1947 to a complimentary column from ''The Times'' correspondent in Rio de Janeiro〔(Sir Donald Gainer – Successful Mission in Brazil ), ''The Times'', London, 17 April 1947, page 3〕 and transferred to be ambassador to Poland. His final post was Permanent Under-Secretary (PUS) in charge of the German section at the Foreign Office 1950–51 (normally the PUS is the civil servant in charge of the Foreign Office, but at this time the German section was so important that its head had PUS rank).
Gainer retired from the Foreign Office in 1951 and was chief executive of the International Road Federation 1951–57. He was chairman of the Anglo-Brazilian Society 1955–64.
