Title: Remembering the fallen of D-Day
Post by: macleod01 on September 25, 2013, 12:50:13 PM

I've just seen this article in the Daily Mail online.

A group of artists and volunteers have hand drawn silouettes of 9000 people into the sands of a beach in Normandy. This really gives the scale of how many people died on that day and makes me wonder how any of them survived at all!

A very interesting article though I find the pictures speak more than the words do.

Really is sobering...knowing the numbers is one thing, but seeing a visual representation makes it much more "real" than any numbers ever could.
