EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the poignant remains of D-Day Embarkation Hard G2 in Stokes Bay, Hampshire. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2018, this image offers a unique perspective on an important historical site. The remnants of this embarkation hard serve as a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited during World War II. The composition of the photo allows viewers to appreciate the scale and significance of this location. From above, we can see the intricate patterns etched into the ground by years of use and wear. These marks tell stories of countless soldiers who embarked from here on that fateful day in June 1944. Stokes Bay's role as a departure point for troops heading towards Normandy is well-documented, but it is through images like these that we truly grasp its historical weight. The aerial viewpoint adds depth to our understanding, emphasizing both the vastness and precision required for such a massive military operation. Damian Grady's skillful capture showcases not only his talent as a photographer but also his appreciation for preserving history through imagery. This print serves as a testament to those who fought bravely on D-Day and honors their memory.
