'"Charles Thomas" covers the identity of an Englishman who has been resident in Australia since 1922. Was in New Caledonia for six years. Better known on the air than in our magazines at present. English public school education but quite human. Served four years in mesopotamia and India. First Story appeared in the "Sydney Mail". Chief hobby: trying to make a living as an author in Australia' (Flame 1.1, 1936, p.64).
