Fun Fact: In 2013, British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss, accompanied by numerous volunteers, came to Normandy beaches with rakes and stencils to etch 9,000 silhouettes representing fallen people on the sand.

The work, titled 9000 Fallen, is a stark visual reminder of the civilians, Germans and Allies who perished in the D-Day Beach landing in Arromanches on June 6, 1944, during World War II. The initial team consisted of 60 volunteers, but as word spread, nearly 500 more local residents came to help with the production.
