About
An art and music installation commemorating the men from Derbyshire’s pit villages who served as stokers on board the Royal Navy’s Dazzle ships during the First World War.
Dazzle was a form of camouflage that used large geometric shapes to disrupt the outline of a ship making it difficult for enemy submarines to judge its position.
To show how war disrupts the pattern of family life when a loved-one is lost, this installation features a room covered with Dazzle camouflage and a piece of music using the notes from The Last Post.
