Lurgan

06/08/2018

Memorial on the grave of Jim Haughey [along with CWG headstone]. This War Commission Grave is in Dougher Cemetary, Lurgan.

Today's quote

"These young men were the generous blood of the world. And in spite of their youth, or maybe because of it, they were also its conscience. Here was conscience in action, warning of the terrible danger which had to be confronted… Many would remain for ever under the earth which they had defended. The rest were reluctantly required to leave, as part of an effort to counter the dishonest arguments of those countries which had decided to abandon us. They left with their scars and wounds."

Antonio Buero Vallejo

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)
