Making less of a target
The kneeling rifleman brings the Gold Beach story down close to the ground. King & Country presents him crouching as he prepares to move, a pose that suggests the practical search for cover during the British advance on D-Day.
The Green Howards' task did not end at the water's edge. Their Normandy fighting continued inland, where the ground and resistance changed as the advance progressed. This figure can express that transition well: the uniform identifies the soldier, while the low stance records a problem that followed infantry far beyond the shoreline.
