| Notes |
- Sir Thomas Torquil Alphonso Munro was 5th Baronet of Lindertis, Second Lieutenant of the Grenadier Guards, J.P. for Co. Angus, and farmer. He lived at Lindertis, Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland.
Sir Thomas (or "Tammy") was a mountain climber, but of a slightly different sort than his father, Sir Hugh. He and Harry Rorison, the local minister, would climb together and would measure the difficulty of the climb by the number of bottles of beer necessary per mile. Two to the mile was considered a tough one.
He was educated at Winchester and Magdalene College, Cambridge.
His first wife, Beatrice, obtained a decree of divorce in the Scottish Court in 1932.
