11Minifigure – United States Army combat medic Desmond Doss Hacksaw Ridge (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a United States Army combat medic from the World War II era. More specifically, his appearance is designed to be a representation of Private First Class Desmond Doss, the real-life Medal of Honor recipient whose story was told in the acclaimed 2016 film Hacksaw Ridge.

Desmond Doss was a conscientious objector who served as a medic in the Pacific Theater and is credited with saving the lives of 75 men during the brutal Battle of Okinawa, all without carrying a weapon. This minifigure captures the likeness of actor Andrew Garfield, who portrayed him in the movie. The figure’s role as a medic is indicated by the printed medical pouches on his webbing.

The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his medical kit:

• The toy minifigure is wearing a standard US Army khaki field uniform from the period. He has detailed printed webbing which includes ammunition pouches (which medics often carried to resupply wounded soldiers) and a holstered pistol.
• The accessory he is holding is a brown briefcase, which represents a medic’s aid bag or satchel. This would have been used to carry essential medical supplies, such as bandages, morphine, and sulfa powder, onto the battlefield.
