Bill Cordiner joined the Diplomatic Service in 1967 after working for 6 years in Kenya. To maximise his promotion prospects as a late entrant he volunteered to go to any posting and served in Vietnam, Ethiopia, Kuwait, Iraq, Antigua, the USA and Tonga from where he retired as High Commissioner in 1994.
"Bill Cordiner explodes the myth that the Diplomatic Service always offers a life of sophistication and cocktail parties, and shows a rich, varied, even dangerous but never dull experience shot through with the unexpected and hilarious". -Password, The Journal of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Association
