Today's quote

"It was not until I served with the British Medical Unit in Spain that I learned the true meaning of the word comradeship. For the last few months I was with a mobile unit on the Aragon and Teruel Front… We were bombed and machine-gunned from the air; we were continually bring forced to retreat… we had no means of heating in the bitter cold of the winter; we had to deal with as many as 200 cases a night, and we sometimes worked in the most appalling conditions for 40 hours at a stretch."

Phyllis Hibbert (volunteer nurse)

Today's quote:

"The plane slips evenly forward through the dark night. / Just a short flip and we are there. / Yesterday, when we were young, the trip was longer and devious / And our cause lay footsore over the mountains and through the valleys. / Like a gathering storm we came as droplets, mountain streams then raging torrents / And the fury was heard all over the Earth and stirred its sympathy. / Fascism was striding across Europe and the brave Spanish people were breaking the shackles of feudalism. / Guernica was calling for revenge and humanity responded and sent its sons."

From the poem “A Tribute” by Hugh Sloan (Scottish volunteer)
