Material written or collected by Thompson discussing the causes, course, punishment and impact of the mutiny, including a lengthy memoir. Thompson’s memoir also records notes on the Malay State Guides, the German cruiser Emden and the Russian cruiser Zhemchug, and an uprising against the French in Cambodia. There are letters exchanged between Colonel Archer Cust, Secretary-General of the Society and Thompson, providing more detail of the latter’s work as Provost Marshal which included counter-espionage. Several of these letters discuss the Suez Crisis. The file also preserves correspondence about Thompson’s submissions between Cust, Hugh Bryson and A.H. Dickinson (80 sheets). A photo of Thompson dated 10 June 1955 is filed with the collection.
