Tim Latimer was a pupil at Farringham School for Boys in 1913. He tended to be bullied by older boys, who were unaware that he possessed psychic abilities. He could tell what people were thinking, knew the contents of unopened letters, and had premonitions of the future. He was fag to an older boy named Hutchinson.
When his work seemed to be declining he was summoned to see teacher John Smith, who was lending him a book about the Battle of Waterloo. Tim was compelled to steal Smith's fob watch, which seemed to be communicating with him. The watch proved to be part of a Chameleon Arch, which could hold a Time Lord's complete identity. The school came under attack by the alien Family of Blood, who were searching for the Doctor. It was the watch which they homed in on and Tim had to protect it from them. He eventually returned it to Smith when it became clear that that the Doctor had to return and stop the Family. He had experienced visions of the Doctor's life.
Once restored, and the Family defeated, the Doctor gave Tim the watch as a souvenir.
A couple of years later Tim was an officer in the British army in Flanders. He had foreseen these events and the watch helped him avoid a German shell that would have killed him and Hutchinson, who he now commanded.
In 2008, Tim was attending a Remembrance Day parade in his village and saw the Doctor and Martha Jones once again.
