Novelist and poet. Born Philip Edward Thomas in Lambeth. He worked as a journalist and book-reviewer, and wrote a novel 'The Happy-Go-Lucky Morgans'. He is referred to as a war poet, although little of his work is concerned with warfare. He enlisted in the Artists Rifles in July 1915 and was posted to France, where he was killed in the Battle of Arras.
