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)
