Wales came 8th overall in the games.
Apparently Reg Thomas would have competed for Wales, but for English objections (he had competed for England at the 1930 British Empire Games).

Farewell remorse! All good to me is lost;

Divided empire with Heaven’s King I hold,
By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign;
As Man ere long, and this new World, shall know.””

Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,
They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
