Born on Anglesey, Thomas raised the Prince of Wales Light Horse regiment to serve in the Second Boer War. He commanded the regiment, and later became the Brigadier-General commanding the North Wales Brigade. He also served as chief officer of the Life-Saving Apparatus at Sea section of the Board of Trade, and in his spare time bred farm stock.[2] Thomas took an interest in politics, and stood unsuccessfully for the Liberal Party in Oswestry at the 1895 UK general election. At the 1918 UK general election, he was elected for Anglesey as an independent labour candidate. He joined the Labour Party group in Parliament, but resigned the party whip in 1920, and was re-elected in 1922 as an independent. He died in 1923, causing the Anglesey by-election, 1923.[2] He was knighted on 21 February 1917.[3] References1. ^{{Rayment-hc|a|2|date=April 2015}} 2. ^1 {{cite book |last1=Stenton |first1=Michael |last2=Lees |first2=Stephen |title=Who's Who of British Members of Parliament |volume=III |date=1979 |publisher=Harvester Press |location=Brighton |isbn=0855273259 |page=353}} 3. ^{{London Gazette|issue=30022|page=3596|date=17 April 1917}} External links
