Plaque in Unite union office, 4th Floor, 26-34 Antrim Road, BT15 2AA. Unveiled 9 December 2009.

Today's quote

"I am proud to say that Wales is well represented in the British units here by its sturdy and freedom-loving coal miners. The Welsh National Anthem… has been sung more than once in the trenches on the Madrid and Aragon fronts and by now many brave Welsh miners have been killed… they died to preserve denocracy not only for Spain but also in Wales. History will prove that these Welsh miners did not die in vain."

Tom Jones (Welsh volunteer)

Today's quote:

"There’s a valley in Spain called Jarama / It’s a place that we all know so well / It was there that we gave of our manhood / And many of our brave comrades fell. / We are proud of the British Battalion / And the stand for Madrid that they made / For they fought like true sons of the people / As part of the Fifteenth Brigade."

From “Jarama Valley / Song of the British Battalion” (anon)
