He lived most of his life in the United States and worked under the name Walter Galt. A lot of his work was in pulp mags. He is best known for writing King of the Khyber Rifles and the Jimgrim series. Mundy was born in Hammersmith, London, to a strict middle-class family. He went to Rugby College but didn't finish. He then moved to British India and worked as an administrator and then as a reporter. Moved to East Africa and got a job as an ivory thief and then as the town clerk of Kisumu. It was 1909 when he went to New York City in the United States. There, he was poor. His first short story was published in 1911 in Frank Munsey's magazine The Scrap Book. A friend had told him to start writing about his life. Soon, he was sending short stories and non-fiction pieces to many fantasy magazines, like Argosy, Cavalier, and Adventure.
