A World War II American sailor down on one knee, dressed in the classic Navy working rig: a white sailor cap, a blue chambray work shirt, and denim dungarees with sturdy boots. He holds a small book or ditty box in one hand while gathering a lanyard whistle chain in the other.

This figure is well suited to a wartime dockyard, ship's-deck, or shore-leave diorama. Position him among crates and gear on a naval base scene, or use him to add authentic 1940s personnel to a harbor or port layout for a diorama or wargame.

The relaxed kneeling pose makes him a good working-crew figure to break up rows of standing soldiers and sailors.
