Tom Hanks: Hollywood star backs tiny war museum on wheels

When they finished their project, the 80th anniversary of D-Day was closing in and Mr Pugh-Jones thought it was a great time to show off his World War Two memorabilia collection.

A pair of boots from this collection recently featured in Ellen Kuras’ Lee, starring Kate Winslet.

The mobile museum works with a community called Men’s Sheds on mental health, but also operates as a mobile theatre.

Now the father and son duo are taking their museum to schools and other groups to talk about history.

“People can bring stuff to it, whether its art, photography, theatre or history, all the components are there to move forward in a quirky way,” he said.

“It’s all about creativity, wellbeing and connecting people.

“The whole idea is promoting mental health and how to take care of it and how to evolve in projects that take the pain away.

“So Michael Sheen if you’re listening, give us a call.”
