EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the Captain Terence Cousins Memorial Roundabout in Port en Bessin, Normandy, France. Unveiled during a brief but moving ceremony on 7th June 2004, this memorial pays tribute to Captain Terence Cousins of the 47 Royal Marine Commando Unit. The unit, which gained the heights above Port en Bessin on D-Day, is commemorated with various memorials around the town. The roundabout, a significant landmark in the town, features a sculpture of a Royal Marine in full combat gear, standing proudly atop a circular base. The figure, with its fixed gaze, symbolizes the bravery and determination of the soldiers who landed on the shores of Normandy on 6th June 1944. The base of the monument is adorned with intricate carvings of waves, representing the English Channel, and poppies, symbolizing the sacrifices made during the war. The memorial was unveiled in the presence of local dignitaries, veterans, and their families. The ceremony was a poignant reminder of the pivotal role played by the 47 Royal Marine Commando Unit in the D-Day landings and the significant impact they had on the course of World War II. The memorial serves as a lasting testament to the courage and sacrifice of Captain Terence Cousins and his comrades, ensuring their legacy lives on for generations to come.
