Thomson studied architecture at The Glasgow School of Art from 1919 to 1924, in his first year as an evening student while working as an apprentice architect and subsequently as a day student. His WW1 service commenced with the RAF shortly before the end of the war on 13th October 1918 and he was demobilised 4 months later at the Georgetown dispersal centre, the former filling factory established in 1915 and named after the then munitions minister Lloyd George.
