Thomas Hohler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Thomas Beaumont Hohler, KCMG, CB, JP (1871—1946)[1] was a British diplomat.
During World War I, he was head of the British delegation to Mexico, in Mexico City, and was involved in the interception of the German Zimmermann Telegram that was used to promote the entry of the United States into the war. Although acting anonymously at the time, he later identified himself as the mysterious "Mr. H" responsible for intercepting the inflammatory telegram.
In 1920, Hohler served as the High Commissioner[2] of the British Legation in Budapest, Hungary[3]. In Hungary, he made a controversial effort to convince the British Government to revise the terms of the Trianon Treaty[4] to better favor Hungary.
Hohler later served as the head of the British Commercial delegation to Bogotá, Colombia[5].
In 1942, he published "Diplomatic Petrel"
