| Description | Soon after going to Antwerp in 1919 was placed in charge of U.S. Consulate General which was largest and in many ways most important one there; Belgian people very grateful for all U.S. had done to help during war and on any public occasion pushed Messersmith forward and reserved place for him in first row; being far younger than colleagues from other countries and wishing to avoid any feeling, usually found place in second row; noticed that [Martyn Pierre Cecil] Gurney, British Consul General was always in first row whether seat was reserved for him or not and tried to pull Messersmith into front row beside him; at one ceremony in the cathedral, he was so insistent that to avoid scene, Messersmith moved up and sat with him, but on leaving cathedral asked him not to create such a scene again, whereupon he delivered lecture on protocol. | en_US |
