AG SOCIAL - FOR YOUR TOMORROW - STOWE GARDENS

📅 ABOUT THE EVENT 📅

Stowe Gardens is the UK’s official host for the British D-Day 80 memorial exhibition ‘For Your Tomorrow’. The silhouettes are designed to represent the military personnel from all the major services but in addition, two bespoke figures of nurses have been included. They are of Sister Mollie Evershed and Sister Dorothy Field who died while helping to save 75 men from the hospital ship SS Amsterdam which sank off the Normandy beaches on 7th August 1944. Both were given posthumous commendation for their actions and are the only two women commemorated on the British Normandy Memorial.
The artist Dan Barton has delivered several impactful military-based displays since founding Oxfordshire-based charity Standing with Giants. The life-size figures are constructed entirely by volunteers, using recycled building materials creating meaningful spaces for people to visit and reflect.
“Our ethos at Standing with Giants is to value life, to understand and appreciate why we have our freedom, and to remember and pay tribute to those who have fallen so we can live the lives we have today. Using outdoor art is a great way to do this.” Standing with Giants Founder, Dan Barton.
