Memorial to the 12 people from the Wigan area who fought against Fascism in Spain. Unveiled on 14th April 2018. Library Street, Wigan, WN11NN.

Today's quote

"The men who fought and those who died for the [Spanish] Republic, whatever their nationality and whether they were communists, anarchists, socialists, poets, plumbers, middle class professional men, or the one Abyssinian prince, were brave and disinterested, as there were no rewards in Spain. They were fighting for us all, against the combined force of European fascism. They deserved our thanks and our respect and got neither."
