Do you remember this commemoration at the International Brigade memorial in Jubilee Gardens on London’s Southbank – or can you help pinpoint the exact year it was held?
The images are taken from a video shot by David Hill, son of London Brigader George Hill. David doesn’t have a record of the year in question, but wants to know now for a film he is putting together about his father, who is pictured above (top row, centre).
The Jubilee Gardens memorial was unveiled in 1985, and it is thought that David’s video dates from one of the years immediately afterwards, but no later than 1990.
Featured in the photos is Bill Alexander (middle row, in pink shirt), who headed the International Brigade Association at the time.
Among other Brigaders who were filmed at the event, though not pictured here, are Charlie Hutchison, Jimmy Jump, Lou Kenton, Johnny Longstaff, David Marshall, Jimmy Moon and George Wheeler.
