Swansea

Plaque to the 11 volunteers from Swansea, in Civic Centre, Oystermouth Road. Unveiled 14 December 2011.

Today's quote

"Looking back on those days it was terrible: the spectacle of seeing refugees pouring over the frontier, wounded carrying wounded, mothers carrying children, some of them already dead, and the utter despair on the part of thousands of refugees who were being pursued by the advancing fascist army."

Lou Kenton, volunteer ambulance driver from London’s East End, arriving at the Franco-Spanish border in January 1939
