A beach of death, now a garden

by John Sheldon
In the D-Day Garden at Arromanches-sur-Mer, Normandy, metal sculptures have been placed to suggest scenes from the invasion of Normandy in June 1944. The sculptures have been made out of small metal washers, individually welded together. This area of coastline was code-named Gold Beach and was where mostly British troops landed. This beach saw 1100 allied casualties on the D-Day itself, including 350 killed.
The D-Day Garden was opened in June 2019, the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

A well composed image. Impressive sculpture, very moving, as befits such a memorial.
