Stone monument in Neath, Glamorgan

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)

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
