Sir Reginald Thomas Tower KCMG CVO FSA (1 September 1860 – 21 January 1939) was a British diplomat whose career lasted from 1885 to 1920.[1]
Early life
Tower was educated at Harrow School and then Trinity College, Cambridge , where he graduated with an MA in 1887.[2]
Diplomatic career
Reginald Tower served in the following diplomatic positions:[1]
Tower's letters (some typed, mostly handwritten) when he was Secretary of Legation at Peking to Sir Ernest Satow , his superior and the Minister in Peking 1900-06, are in the Satow Papers held at the National Archives of the UK.[5] Satow felt that Tower would have been a worthy successor.[6]
In 1907, while British Ambassador to Mexico, Tower donated a trophy in order to establish the Copa México . For this reason, in the early days of the competition it was known as the Copa Tower .
Tower was the British Ambassador in Argentina and Paraguay for the duration of the First World War . During the war years he worked energetically to secure British wheat imports from Argentina, and to persuade British-owned companies to suspend German employees and refuse to do business with German firms.[7]
In 1904 Tower was awarded the Grand Cross of the Frederick Order of Württemberg. He was made a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 1906,[8] and a Knight of the Order of St Michael and St George in the 1911 Coronation Honours .[9] Tower's career ended with his retirement in 1920. Three portraits are held by the National Portrait Gallery, London .[10]
Reginald Tower was a member of the Travellers' Club and the Royal Automobile Club .[1]
