National Army Museum
The Commission
Two paintings documenting the British Army's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. One shows a mobile testing unit at Biggleswade. The other captures the PPE distribution office at Skipton House. Both were completed in June 2020, recording a moment of national effort through paint. These works now form part of the National Army Museum's permanent collection, preserving a visual record of the military's role during the crisis.
