Plaque to Irish International Brigade volunteers at the Connolly Bookshop, Temple Bar. Unveiled 7 October 2012.

Today's quote

"But when I shook hands to leave, an Anarchist worker / Said: 'Tell the workers of England / This was a war not of our own making / We did not seek it. / But if ever the Fascists again rule Barcelona / It will be as a heap of ruins with us workers beneath it.'"

From the poem “A Letter from Aragon” by John Cornford (English volunteer)
