EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to one of the most significant moments in history - the World War II Invasion of France. It captures a part of the British invasion fleet, sailing towards the Gold, Juno, and Sword Normandy beaches on that fateful morning of D-day - June 6th, 1944. From atop the cliffs overlooking Folkestone, we witness an awe-inspiring sight as destroyers from the Royal Navy lay a smoke screen to conceal this massive fleet from enemy eyes along the French coast. The image offers a glimpse into both courage and strategy as Allied forces prepared for Operation Overlord - their audacious plan to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation. Looking out over the English Channel from The Leas in Folkestone, our gaze extends beyond just this historic moment. We take in the grandeur of Victoria Pier and its iconic funicular railway, standing as silent witnesses to countless stories etched into these shores during those tumultuous times. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, it becomes clear that it is not merely a snapshot frozen in time; rather it serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and determination exhibited by military personnel aboard those warships. This remarkable piece transports us back to an era defined by conflict but also marked by unwavering resolve and unity among nations fighting for freedom.
