Sea Sketch by Simon Armitage

In a poignant journey from Northern France to the Scottish Highlands, poet Simon Armitage commemorates World War One with seven new works capturing the stories of the conflict.

In the the small town of Etretat in Normandy Armitage follows the story of nurse Edie Appleton through her detailed diary entries and sketches. Her great nephew Dick Robinson reads Sea Sketch, that recalls Edie鈥檚 care of dying soldiers and the comforting effect of the English Channel where she swam.
