Career
[ edit ]
John Mansfield Addis was educated at Rugby School and Christ Church, Oxford , and joined the Foreign Office in 1938.[1] After postings at Nanking , Peking and the Foreign Office, he was ambassador to Laos 1960–62;[2] Fellow at the Harvard Center for International Affairs 1962–63; ambassador to the Philippines 1963–70;[3] Senior Civilian Instructor at the Imperial Defence College 1970–71; and ambassador to China 1972–74.

Honours
[ edit ]
Addis was appointed CMG in the New Year Honours of 1959[4] and knighted KCMG in the New Year Honours of 1973.[5]
Sir John Addis will be remembered with gratitude, respect and affection at the British Museum. His gift in 1975 of twenty-three pieces of early Chinese porcelain of superb quality and importance was not only one of the Museum's major benefactions this century but also a carefully thought out addition to the existing collections, every piece having been deliberately chosen in advance to fill gaps in the permanent exhibition. — Lawrence Smith, Keeper of Oriental Antiquities, British Museum[6]
