EDITORS COMMENTS
this photograph captures Col Augustus Francis Andrew Nicol Thorne, a distinguished military figure during the early 20th century. The image is accompanied by a collection of papers that offer a glimpse into Thorne's military career and personal life between the years 1930 and 1931. The papers include correspondence relating to Thorne's marriage settlement from February to April 1930, as well as bills and invoices for dances held at their residence in Draycott Place during the same period. In May 1930, Thorne was listed as a Field Officer in Brigade Waiting, and the collection includes a programme for the 3rd Bn Small Arms Meeting held at Pirbright. Thorne's involvement in the military extended beyond his regiment, as evidenced by correspondence with the old school on the Eton Land Fund from May 1930 to July 1931. The collection also features a telegram and newspaper cutting detailing Thorne's successful participation in the Turf Club Tournament at Le Touquet. Additionally, there are official documents such as a WO Memorandum on the Committee for the revision of Infantry Training Vol II, press cuttings on the 3rd Bn's march to Wellington Barracks, and a programme for the presentation of colours to Eton College Officer Training Corps by the King. The papers also reveal Thorne's appointment as General Services Officer 1, London District on mobilisation, as well as his handing over of command of the Battalion to Maj Ws Pilcher and his place as a student on the 5th Course at the Imperial Defence College in January 1931. Thorne's military career culminated in his appointment as Colonel and transference to half pay in May to September 1931, and later, as British Military Attache in Berlin from October to December 1931. These papers provide a unique insight into the life of Col Augustus Francis Andrew Nicol Thorne, a man who dedicated his life to serving his country in the military and leaving a lasting impact on its history.
