Thackeray was a founding member of the London Sketch Club. When he was over thirty, he spent some winters in Egypt and produced humorous sketches which he collected in The Light Side of Egypt (1908).

At the beginning of the First World War despite being aged over forty, he volunteered for the Artists Rifles. He died in Brighton in 1916 after a long illness. At the time of his death on 10 August 1916, Thackeray was a Lance Corporal. He was buried in the Extra Mural Cemetery at Brighton. (en)
