Burry Port

Plaque in Memorial Hall. Erected 1996 and unveiled 27 February 1997 by Evan Jones.

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:

"The march had started with Mussolini and had gained terrible momentum with Hitler and was being carried forward by Franco. For most young people there was a feeling of frustration, but some determined to do anything that seemed possible, even if it meant death, to try to stop the spread of fascism."

Jack Jones (Liverpool docker who joined the International Brigades and later became the leader of Britain’s biggest trade union, the Transport & General Workers’ Union)
