An Ambassador’s Memories (Last French Ambassador to the Russian Court), Originally published in 1923 - translated from the French by F. A. Holt, O.B.E.

Thursday, June 22, 1916.

A few days ago the Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovitch was having supper with his inseparable cronies and an English officer, Major Thornhill.

As usual, the Grand Duke had emptied his champagne glass too often. When he was sufficiently excited, there was an outburst of the anglophobia he inherits from his father.

Turning to Thornhill, he cried:

"England doesn't care a straw about this war; she is letting her allies be killed. The French have been suffering massacre at Verdun for four months, and you haven't even left your trenches. We Russians would have been in Baghdad long ago if you hadn't begged us not to enter the place, to save you from admitting your inability to get there yourselves."

Thornhill replied coldly:

"That is not accurate, Monseigneur! And Your Imperial Highness is forgetting the Dardanelles."

"The Dardanelles? ... Mere bluff!"

Thornhill shot up:

"Bluff that cost us 140,000 men!"

"No! mere bluff! In any case you can be certain that the moment peace is signed with Germany we shall go to war with you!"

General uproar. The Grand Duke went out, banging the door.

Major Thornhill reported the incident to Sir George Buchanan. Without desiring to complain to the Emperor, my colleague has expressed an official wish to the Minister of the Court that a remonstrance should be sent to the Grand Duke Boris...
