Cyril Trevor Pinch (1888-1954) was a prominent British journalist. He lived through the era of the end of the British Empire, punctuated by two World Wars, the 1930s boom and depression, and post-war austerity. He had a wide and varied career serving as a soldier in the Mechanized Division during World War I, working his way in Fleet Street as a sub-editor for the Daily Mail, and editing provincial newspapers. He was also the editor in India of the main newspaper of the old Raj, The Military and Civilian Gazette (a paper also edited at one time by Rudyard Kipling). He wrote daily columns specializing on "foreign affairs" and was the lead writer for the short-lived broadsheet the Favourite Weekly in 1938. He published some of his early contributions under the name Cyril Trevor Pinch but most of his career he used the name Trevor Pinch. He wrote an important book about social conditions in India (particularly the exploitation of women and the failures of Indian health care) (Stark India, 1930).
