These plastic moulded figurines are made by Dorothy, a design collective from the UK.
It is entitled ‘Casualties of War’. It is based on two articles in the Colorado Springs Gazettea. The articles focused on a single battalion based at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, who since returning from duty in Iraq had been involved in brawls, beatings, rapes, drunk driving, drug deals, domestic violence, shootings, stabbings, kidnapping and suicides.

War is more than victims on the battlefield. And wounds aren’t always physical.
