ITV are set to broadcast a new documentary about Captain Tom Moore and his story of the part he took in the Second World War.
After walking 100 laps of his garden, the veteran has raised more than £28 million for the NHS and has since become a national hero.
In the tv documentary, Captain Moore will share his memories, from entering officer training in 1940, going on to serve in India before talking about his experiences during the conflict in Burma.
ITV’s controller of current affairs Tom Giles said: “Captain Tom’s War will shed light on a campaign which comparatively goes unmentioned but in which our troops suffered unthinkable hardship and tens of thousands of British soldiers fought and died.
“Hearing this from Captain Tom Moore, who fought in Burma, means we will find out a lot more about the man who has done so much to raise our spirits at this time and the experience he and many others faced during World War Two, on an occasion when we rightly come together to thank them for their sacrifice.”
The documentary will air on Friday May 8th at 8pm.
