Imbali yokudalwa kweTorbay Blue Plaque nguMongameli weTorbay Civil Society Association uIan Handford – kule veki, eTorquay Vanishing Point:
Ngowama-2015, iTorbay Citizens' Association, ngokubambisana neTorquay's Normandy Veterans Association, bagqibe ekubeni babhiyozele iFrench Landing Day ngo-1944 kabini ngokufaka ilitye legranite kwi-lighthouse pier ukunceda uluntu luqonde ngcono isibane sesango, iiringi zombane, kunye nayo yonke imizobo yekhowudi yeMorse.
Umsebenzi wobugcisa kawonke-wonke obizwa ngokuba yi-public art wenziwa kwaye wafakwa nguBob Bard wase-Exeter kwaye uquka izinto ezintathu - umnqamlezo, iringi kunye nomyalezo wekhowudi kaMorse.
Nangona yaziwa ngokuba yiVanishing Point Memorial, bambalwa ababonakala beyiqonda imfuneko yokuba beme kufutshane nomnqamlezo okhazimlayo ukuze ucinge nge-US 4th Infantry Regiment isiya elwandle ukuya elunxwemeni lwaseNormandy ngoJuni 1944.
Amadoda angama-21,000 ayebekwe eDevon nakwiindawo ezikufutshane ngaphambi kokuba aye kumsebenzi oyimfihlo owathi ekugqibeleni wafika eUtah Beach njengenxalenye yokuqhubela phambili kweAllied eYurophu kwanaseJamani.
Umnqamlezo kunye neringi zixhaswa yinto yesithathu equka iimpawu zekhowudi yeMorse ezibekwe kwindlela yokuhamba ngeenyawo.
Zingaqondwa kusetyenziswa uluhlu lwethu lweekhowudi zesizwe zeMorse ecaleni kwebhodi yesikhumbuzo yentsimbi engagqwaliyo ephezu kwelitye.
Xa sigqiba ekubeni sakhe esi sikhumbuzo, sisebenzise umakhi owayesebenza noKapteni weTorbay Harbor uKevin Mowat kunye namajoni aseNormandy ukuze bakrole ilitye endaweni yelitye eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.
Esi sikhumbuzo sakhiwe ukuze kube lula kubantu abadlulayo ukuqonda ingcinga esekwe kulo msebenzi wobugcisa woluntu.
Ngethuba sisakha isikhumbuzo esihlala sihleli elunxwemeni, saqonda ukuba kufuneka sibeke amatye kwi-pier yelitye.
Ngoko ke, ikontraka yekhomishini kwafuneka yenze umjelo ofanelekileyo kwidekhi ukuze iziqwenga ezinkulu zegranite zikwazi ukunamathela ngokuqinileyo kwikhonkrithi kumphezulu wepier.
Oku kuquka utyelelo/iingxoxo ezininzi kunye ne-JC Stonemasons yaseDecoy Quarry, eNewton Abbot ngaphambi kokuba ekugqibeleni onke amaqabane avumelane ukuba i-DJC Ltd ingaqhubeka nokuqalisa umsebenzi.
Le nkampani ngoku inikezela kwaye iqoshe izikwere ezibini ngamatye ukuze kuthathwe iitafile ezimbini - uluhlu lwemiyalezo kunye nekhowudi yeMorse.
Ukuvulwa kucwangciselwe umhla wesi-6 kweyeSilimela, isikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-71 se-D-Day eNormandy, apho imingcele yamajoni alwayo iqhubeka khona minyaka le.
Amalungu oluntu kunye nabanye bajoyine nathi kwiRoyal Yacht Club eBeacon Terrace ngo-9:30 kusasa kwaye sonwabele ikofu/iti yasimahla ukubulisa amajoni aseNormandy ngaphambi kokuba sonke sehle ngeTerrace ukuze sijoyine isihlwele esikhulu.
Emva kwenkonzo emfutshane, sibone uSodolophu weBhunga leSixeko saseTorbay uGordon Oliver kunye noMmeli wase-US betyhila ngokusesikweni ibhodi yethu yesikhumbuzo kunye noluhlu lwekhowudi yeMorse.
Kwiminyaka emine kamva, ngo-2021, ilungu loluntu lasithumelela i-imeyile lisithi ibhodi enkulu kwisiseko sayo segranite ilahlekile, mhlawumbi ibiwe.
Kungadlulanga neyure ndaya kukhangela kwi-pier kodwa andifumananga nto. Izicelo zolwazi zisenze sagqiba kwelokuba umlindi ubone ipleyiti yethu ebusuku ejikeleza i-dock kwaye wayeyigcina, ecinga ukuba yayiyimpahla ye-Port Authority.
Ekugqibeleni sifunde ukuba amanzi olwandle atshabalalisa uninzi lwezincamathelisi xa ebopha intsimbi nelitye. Iphupha elibi liphelile, njengoko besitsho, ngebelingaphezulu, kodwa kukho ukugubungela okwaneleyo apha, kwaye irekhodi libuyele endaweni yalo ngokukhuselekileyo ukuze uphonononge.
UPat Duke, “Iigadi kunye namaHlathi”: Ngenxa yeencoko zakutshanje, uninzi lweembono zam zakhiwe ngokusekelwe kubungqina obuvela kwabanye abalimi, njengoko kwakunjalo ngo-1976. Ndikhula kwaye ndikhumbula indlela endatsha ngayo ixesha elide ndisengumntwana, ndikhumbula indlela endandikhathazeke ngayo ngawe
I-cinema yangaphambili yaseTorquay inikwa ubomi obutsha kwaye ibuyela kwiingcambu zayo zembali. Kukho uloyiko lokuba iCentral Theater endala e-Abbey Road iya kuba ilungele ukudilizwa nokwakhiwa kwakhona xa ivalwa. Kodwa kwi-Unleashed Theater Company nakwinkampani entsha ebizwa ngokuba yi-
