The Gift

British writer & journalist H. M. Tomlinson was born #OTD in 1873.

He worked as a war correspondent during the First World War, covering events for newspapers such as The Morning Leader and The Daily News. His travel books are considered some of the finest examples of the genre, blending personal narrative with keen observations of the places he visited.
