Sir Basil Home Thomson (1861 - 1939) British intelligence officer, police officer, prison administration, colonial administrator and writer. Thomson was born in Oxford. His father William Thomson later became the archbishop of York. Since 1890 he worked in the prison department and the colonial administration. From 1908 to 1913, he served as the secretary of the commission of the execution of sentences. In June 1913, Thomson was appointed assistant commissar "C" (CRIME) of the London police. He became the head of the investigation department of Scotland Yard. When the First World War broke out in 1914, this department became the counterparty of Great Britain: while the newly-minted Secret Service (later known as Mi-6), collected intelligence on suspects in the UK, but did not have the authority of arrests. He worked against the suffrazhists, and then against spies from Kaiser Germany and its allies, against Irish nationalists and, finally, against the British Marxists. In 1919, while remaining an assistant commissar (CRIME), he was appointed head of intelligence in Home Office, and the general leader of all special services in the United Kingdom. In 1921, he resigned. The reasons for this are secret. Circulation 30 copies. Made using Print-on-Demand technology
