Curwen was educated at Sherborne School and Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge after which he was commissioned into the 4th Queen's Own Hussars in 1948, serving in Malaya.[1] He joined SIS in 1952 and was posted to Thailand in 1954 and Vientiane, Laos in 1956. He returned to the service's London headquarters in 1958, had another spell in Bangkok from 1961 and then two years in Kuala Lumpur. He was at one time married to a woman from South-East Asia; they were later divorced.[2] Curwen spent three years as SIS liaison officer in Washington D.C. from 1968 and was then head of station in Geneva.[3] He was deputy to Sir Colin Figures from 1980 and succeeded him as Chief of the Service in 1985.[4] His tenure was notable for the successful exfiltration from Moscow of the KGB officer and British agent Oleg Gordievsky.[5] References1. ^Burke's Peerage and Gentry {{s-start}}{{S-gov}}{{succession box |2. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10536155/Sir-Christopher-Curwen-obituary.html|title=Sir Christopher Curwen -obituary|date=2013-12-23|access-date=2018-05-17|language=en-GB|issn=0307-1235}} 3. ^MI6 - 50 years of Special Operations, by Stephen Dorril, Page 753, Harper Collins, 2001, {{ISBN|1-85702-701-9}} 4. ^Cloaked Dagger 5. ^[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10536155/Sir-Christopher-Curwen-obituary.html Obituary: Sir Christopher Curwen] Daily Telegraph, 24 December 2013 before=Sir Colin Figures| title=Chief of the SIS | years=1985–1989| after=Sir Colin McColl| }}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Curwin, Christopher}}{{UK-gov-bio-stub}} 8 : 1929 births|2013 deaths|Civil servants in the Cabinet Office|Cold War spies|Knights Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George|People educated at Sherborne School|Alumni of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge|Chiefs of the Secret Intelligence Service |
