I don't know how useful a comparison it might be, but in the British tv series Foyle's War (available streaming on Netflix), Foyle, a police inspector in southern England during WWII has a sergeant, Paul Milner, who is available because he lost part of his leg at Trondheim. (His availability is part of the story of the first episode; Foyle approaches a despondent Milner in his hospital bed -- the leg is not all the war has cost him.) He gets around on a prosthesis with a limp but no crutch after the beginning, but is hampered in his work at times by his inability to drive and do things like climb ladders at all or stairs quickly.
