Thomson was educated in the University of Edinburgh. After graduated from university, he came to Hong Kong as a cadet.
During his tenure, he took up some important posts like the defence secretary (1950) and held up the post of deputy colonial secretary until his early death in 1952. He was buried in Hong Kong Cemetery.
One of his interesting trivia is, there was a youth hostel named after him in Yau Ma Tei.
A news entry mentioned the memorial for him: https://mmis.hkpl.gov.hk/coverpage/-/coverpage/view?_coverpage_WAR_mmisp...
