Thornely Gibson was a British bass-baritone singer, stockbroker and Irish Guards officer. After the First World War, he carried out reporting missions in Germany on behalf of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), using his singing career as cover. His 1919 memorandum Bolshevism in Germany, which warned that hunger under the Allied blockade was pushing Germany towards revolution, was circulated to the War Cabinet as paper G.T. 7092 by Winston Churchill as Secretary of State for War, and led to a meeting with the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George.
