Military Service of Captain Sir Thomas Moore-- Part 2: Part of the 'Forgotten Army' in Burma and Worked With Churchill Tanks

As part of the Fourteenth Army, the so-called "Forgotten Army", he served in Arakan in western Burma where he survived an attack of the dengue fever.

Moore returned to Britain in February 1945 to take a training course on the inner workings of the Churchill tanks and learned how to become an instructor.  He did not go back to his regiment, however, as he  remained as an instructor and the Technical Adjutant of the Armoured Vehicle Fighting School in Bovington Camp until he was demobilized in early 1946.

Back in civilian life, he worked with a roofing company and then a concrete one.

He raced motorcycles competitively and had been riding them since he purchased his first one at age 12.
