Charity Commission investigation
The Guardian reports today: "Watchdogs have launched a formal investigation into concerns that the family of NHS fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore personally profited from the charity set up in his name.
" But it seems inappropriate to add this, because (a) the charity is not mentioned anywhere in the article and (b) it has nothing to so with Moore himself. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:39, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- For completeness, it would probably be worth adding a paragraph or two about the charity itself, perhaps under a "Legacy" banner - since it seems like it's fairly closely linked to the subject of Captain Tom. You're right that mentioning the controversy only, without a wider paragraph would be undue. — Amakuru (talk) 13:45, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Moore's date of enlistment
According to this Moore was conscripted into the Army in April 1936 just before his 16th birthday and selected for officer training at 16 and a half. No way did this happen - I suspect his enlistment date would have been 1938 or 9. Can someone check — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.165.35 (talk) 23:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
As Captain Tom Foundation links to this page, I think we need a section on it. We can keep it brief and very non-committal (for obvious reasons), but it needs to be there. Boynamedsue (talk) 18:39, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
