Percy Tomlinson

Percy Douglas Tomlinson (1882 to 1961) was an English bowls player who competed in the British Empire Games, the forerunner of the Commonwealth Games. At the 1934 British Empire Games in London he won the gold medal in the rinks, or fours, event, playing in a team with Robert Slater, Ernie Gudgeon and Fred Biggin. That gold medal is the achievement for which he is recorded. The English Wikipedia article on him is brief and gives no further biography, so this entry records only what that article supports: his full name, his years of birth and death, his English nationality and his place in the winning England rinks four of the 1934 Games.
