    1,475 Silhouettes In Tribute To The Soldiers Of D-Day - Ver-Sur-Mer

    A view of the Standing with Giants silhouettes which create the For Your Tomorrow installation at the British Normandy Memorial, in Ver-Sur-Mer, France, as part of the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The 1,475 statues honour each of the servicemen who fell on D-Day itself and stand in the shadows of the memorial overlooking Gold Beach, where many of them landed almost 80 years ago. Ver-Sur-Mer, Calvados, France on April 27, 2024. The fields within the British Normandy Memorial campus have been filled with silhouettes of servicemen representing the three military services, each standing just under two metres tall. Alongside these, the project will also install bespoke 'giants' to represent the only two women on the Memorial, nurses Sisters Evershed and Field, who died while saving 75 men from a sinking hospital ship; and 50 French resistance fighters, to be placed around the French Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer.
