Major T. L. C. Tomkins

When referring to Philatelic History in Eastern Arabia, most people automatically think of N. Donaldson.

Yet he was the second to write about it, and for reference he used another Englishman's work.


His work was first published in in August 1949 and eventually reproduced in a book format in 1950.


Any ideas of who I'm referring to? See the images below for more information.


At the time, Qatar still did not have its own independent postal system, so it is missing from that publication. But no doubt that N. Donaldson used this book as the starting point for his own publication.
