Inspector Thompson protected and saved the life of Churchill on many occasions – remaining a faithful bodyguard from 1921 – 1935 and recruited again during WWII. But it didn’t end there, as their friendship continued for the rest of their lives.
Thompson was always seen by Churchill’s side during WWII and became known as his shadow. Thompson adored Churchill, who was highly regarded as possibly the smartest and greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century.
After Thompson retired, he began writing his autobiography, which once published, brought him fame in the UK and the US.
