Religious: History and religion

Highland division commemorative stained glass art installation for the window in the South Isle

Church of St. Joseph - St Valery en Caux Normandy France

A gift from the people of the Highlands of Scotland to the town of St Valery en Caux, commemorating the combined action of 1940 against the superior forces of Rommel and the eventual liberation of the town by the Highland Division in 1944.

The iconography exists on two levels, as a landscape relating to the town and harbour during the action of 1940 and liberation of 1944, but the imagery can also be interpreted symbolically with reference to Revelation 12 Vs 1-9 conveying the idea of good prevailing against evil.

‘The Rose of France and the Thistle of Scotland will forevel be entwined..’ General Charles De Gaulle
