Examples:[Collected via Facebook and Internet, October 2015] Origins: Since at least late 2014, the above-reproduced photograph and accompanying claim about Corporal Sandy Levit has circulated on social media sites (including Pinterest and later, Facebook). While the story of Corporal Sandy Levit proved popular among social media users, it was just a fabricated tale. The image shown here doesn't depict Sandy Levit; it's actually a photograph of actress Christina Cox taken during the filming of television series Combat Hospital (which portrays doctors and nurses from allied countries saving lives and limbs in a war zone military hospital modeled on a real facility in Afghanistan). The entertainment publication TV Guide used this image on a page about Christina Cox, and it also appeared in a July 2011 article about the Combat Hospital character's story arc on the blog AfterEllen: The name Sandy Levit doesn't appear on a list of casualties in Afghanistan (irrespective of date), nor did we find anyone with a similar name (such as Sandra or Levitt) among those listed.
