Description

Photographed between 2010 and 2014, The Last Stand reflects the histories and stories of military conflict and the memories held in the landscape. The series is made up of 86 images, documenting some of the physical remnants of the Second World War on the coastlines of the British Isles and Northern Europe. Working with a large format camera, over four years 23,000 miles were travelled to 143 locations along the coastlines of the UK, Northern & Western France, Denmark, Belgium and Norway. Sainte-Marguerite-sur-Mer, Upper Normandy, France. 2012 On 19 August 1942, on the beach of Sainte-Marguerite-sur-Mer, a group from No 4 Commando under the command of Lord Lovat, landed with a mission to assault and destroy the German Hess battery above Varengeville, which could fire on the beach of Dieppe. After the raid, the German coastal defences were strengthened. The monolith on the shingle beach was part of a blockhouse that originally stood on the cliff.
