Stoke Fleming to Torcross

Sea is constant, caressing the sand,
careless of leaping dogs, naturists, anglers, the granite monument of gratitude from US forces, walkers, sea wall, and Operation Tiger in 1944, when almost a thousand men were rehearsing and killed by friendly fire, jeopardising the D-Day landings.

The Allies went to Normandy and I walk along the sands in sun, liberty and knowledge of this.
