Glasgow

Plaque listing Glasgow volunteers killed in Spain in Scottish Trades Union Congress offices, 333 Woodlands Road.

Today's quote

"It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal tragedy."

Albert Camus

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)
