"The Sons of Spain" the story of a British volunteer who fought in the Spanish Civil War

Joe, you and your comrades will never be forgotten. You're an eternal inspiration to freedom loving people everywhere, giving service freely at the risk of your lives so that evil should not prevail.

One local hero: RIP Howard 'Andy' Andrews of Taunton, Somerset, died May 2008 aged 101. Served as a medic right in the thick of the fighting. Staunch antifascist and activist to the end.

A respectful anti-fascist salute to the brave volunteers.

THE BEST QUOTE I'VE HEARD THIS YEAR: "It isn't possible to explain to fascists where they are wrong - so that you have to get rid of them. And if you don;t get rid of them, they will do - in another 50 years -precisely what they did in Germany in 1932/33."

Thank you for this. My great uncle, Clifford Lawther, was one of those killed at the opening of the Battle of Jarama. Like Joseph Kahn he had journeyed there via Albacete from where he wrote his last letter home.
