Aberdeen

Plaque dedicated to local International Brigader Bob Cooney (1908-1984) in Castle Street. Erected by Aberdeen City Council

Today's quote

"The Spanish people will rise again as they have always risen before against tyranny. The dead do not need to rise. They are a part of the earth now and the earth can never be conquered. For the earth endureth forever. It will outlive all systems of tyranny. Those who have entered it honorably, and no men ever entered earth more honorably than those who died in Spain, already have achieved immortality."

Ernest Hemingway

Today's quote:

"Looking back on those days it was terrible: the spectacle of seeing refugees pouring over the frontier, wounded carrying wounded, mothers carrying children, some of them already dead, and the utter despair on the part of thousands of refugees who were being pursued by the advancing fascist army."

Lou Kenton, volunteer ambulance driver from London’s East End, arriving at the Franco-Spanish border in January 1939
