This glorious World War I figure has been produced in aid of the Combat Stress charity. Of course back then there was no such term as combat stress, the common term being shell shock. Diagnosis was by no means frequent and the condition was somewhat brushed under the table, many sufferers being sent back to the front with little or no support.
90+ years on and veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq receive some help but much, much more needs to be done. You can help by ordering this figure from Figures in Comfort.
