Captain Tom Moore served in India, the Burma campaign and Sumatra during the Second World War as a member of the Royal Armoured Corps. He later became an instructor in armoured warfare.

 

At 99 years old, Tom Moore began to walk laps of his garden in aid of the NHS Charities Together, with the relatively modest goal of raising £1000 by the time he turned one hundred. On the day of his birthday, he had accomplished a fundraising total in excess of £30 million. For his efforts, he was appointed an honorary colonel of the Army Foundation College and in July 2020, was knighted at Windsor Castle, amongst other accolades

 

You may be wondering why the model is named ‘NHS Tribute Figure’. We have reached out to the Sir Tom Moore Foundation in the hope of making this 'his' model and have hope that we may yet be able to present him with painted examples but Sir Tom has been understandably busy lately (meeting the Queen, no less!). Nevertheless, we wanted to begin raising funds for NHS charities in his honour so have opted to make this available now.

 

All profits for sales of this item will go directly to NHS charities.
