Sir Henry George Outram Bax-Ironside, KCMG (15 November 1859 – 16 April 1929) was a British diplomat, ambassador to Venezuela, Chile, Switzerland and Bulgaria.
[3] Bax-Ironside was First Secretary of the Legation at Stockholm from 1900 until late 1902,[4] when he was appointed Minister Resident and Consul-General at Carácas,[5][6] serving as such until 1907.
He arrived in Venezuela in the months leading up to the Venezuelan crisis of 1902–1903, when the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy imposed a naval blockade against the country from December 1902 until February 1903.
Shortly before the actual blockade, Bax-Ironside and other members of his legation were evacuated by a British warship.
[12] Bad-Ironside married at St Peter and St Sigfrid's Church in Stockholm on 15 September 1902 Märtha Hedwig Jacquette Gyldenstolpe (1874–1910), daughter of Swedish nobleman and courtier Count August Gustaf Ferson Gyldenstolpe (1839–1919) and his wife Hedvig Fredrike Alice Nieroth (1850–1927).
