King & Country DD109 Medic and Wounded: Care at Ground Level on Sword Beach

The medical subject within the infantry sequence

The archived description presents the pair as a tribute to men tending wounded comrades under fire. The surrounding release note places the British group with the East Yorkshire soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division.

The D-Day historical overview gives the wider campaign setting. This pair remains representative, with no named medic or patient established in the source.

A different way to read a landing display

Placed among marching or firing figures, the pair interrupts the movement. The viewer has to slow down and notice that one soldier is now dependent on another.

That makes the set useful for a more complete account of the landing, where treatment and evacuation belong alongside the assault.

Why the two figures should stay connected

The original composition relies on the medic and casualty together. Separating them can obscure the specific subject of DD109.

Retain a clear overhead-quarter reference as well as a lower view when documenting an example. The first records the arrangement of bodies and equipment; the second keeps the human interaction visible.

Release record and collecting notes

Sager’s archived DD109 product record lists a release date of June 2009 and a retirement date of August 2012. These are catalog dates, rather than a statement about today’s secondhand availability.
