In spring 1936, Thomas met Caitlin Macnamara ( b. 1913 ), a 22 year old blonde-haired, blue-eyed dancer of Irish descent.
She had run away from home, intent on making a career in dance, and aged 18 joined the chorus line at the London Palladium.
Introduced by Augustus John, Caitlin's lover, they met in The Wheatsheaf pub on Rathbone Place in London's West End.
Laying his head in her lap, a drunken Thomas proposed.
Thomas liked to comment that he and Caitlin were in bed together ten minutes after they first met.
Although Caitlin initially continued her relationship with John, she and Thomas began a correspondence and in the second half of 1936 were courting.
They married at the register office in Penzance, Cornwall on 11 July 1937.
In spring 1938, they moved to Wales renting a cottage in the village of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire.
Their first child, Llewelyn Edouard, was born on 30 January 1939.
