Talk:Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service

Signature
I can't find the reason why they sign with the initial 'C', but I think it's important to note it --68.46.171.223 (talk) 14:10, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's simply a tradition, derived from the signing-habit of SIS's founder. See this Telegraph article:

MI6 bosses have been known colloquially as the "green ink brigade" since the days of Sir George Mansfield Smith-Cumming, the former Royal Navy officer who established the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), also known as MI6, to gather intelligence on the Germans before the First World War. A man who revelled in the secrecy and glamour of espionage, Sir George signed all his correspondence with his final initial in green pen – the writing implement of choice for conspiracy theorists and cranks. His successors in the role adopted the convention and in a rare interview the current incumbent Sir John revealed that it continues to this day.


 * Hope that helps. I could add it to the article but am short of time right now.  Azx2  17:09, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
