DD357(B) - Soldier Being Shot! (w/ Sand base) | King & Country
For collectors building a D-Day and Liberation display, Soldier Being Shot! (w/ Sand base) introduces a focused character, action or detail from the period.
Situated in the Allied landings in Normandy and the liberation of France in 1944, the piece rewards attention to the people and events around it. The Normandy campaign involved soldiers, sailors, vehicles, civilians and Resistance networks working amid intense fighting. The liberation of towns and villages produced moments of both danger and public celebration.
Soldier Being Shot! (w/ Sand base) contributes a distinct named character, object or action to the range. Its individual role becomes most meaningful when the neighbouring pieces help explain what is happening in the scene.
A casualty or rescue subject brings the human cost of conflict into view. It offers a contrast to attacking figures by showing what happens to the people caught in the fighting.
An engaging way to present it is within a Normandy beach, inland village or liberation scene. The setting makes the period easy to understand and gives the subject a natural place in the scene.
Give the vignette enough space and avoid treating it merely as a dramatic accessory. Nearby comrades or medical personnel can provide an appropriate sense of concern and purpose.
To expand the scene, look towards Allied soldiers, civilians, landing craft and wartime vehicles. Together, compatible subjects can add a sense of movement, scale and period detail.
The piece also invites an appreciation of the movement from invasion through fighting to liberation. It is a useful reminder that a historical scene can be told through an individual detail.
It is equally suitable as a stand-alone subject or as one part of a carefully arranged story from the same range.
Now available from The Military Workshop.
