EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print depicts the 3rd British Infantry Division Memorial, located in the tranquil village of Periers sur le Dan, Normandy. The memorial stands as a testament to the brave soldiers who fell during the Division's landing at Sword Beach on June 6, 1944, during World War II. The small village, situated about three miles inland, was the site of intense fighting between the British forces and the German army on June 6 and 7, 1944. The memorial commemorates the seventeen soldiers from the Royal Artillery, R Signals, and the East Yorkshire Regiment who lost their lives during the battle. The memorial was inaugurated on June 8, 1996, in a moving ceremony to honor the sacrifices made by these brave men. The memorial serves as a reminder of the significant role the 3rd British Infantry Division played in the D-Day landings and the subsequent liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation. The image captures the peaceful surroundings of the memorial, with the rolling hills and lush greenery providing a stark contrast to the history and significance of the site. The memorial stands proudly amidst the landscape, a symbol of remembrance and respect for the soldiers who gave their lives for freedom and democracy.
