The Scots who fought Franco. (Part 1)

Peter Dow's website - http://scot.tk
For Freedom Forums - http://figh.tk
A poignant and compelling look at the extraordinary role Scots played in the Spanish Civil War. Through previously unseen archive interviews, those who were there tell their stories of idealism, hope and horror. Their incredible contribution is charted through interviews with experts and relatives, and footage of Spanish battlefields - as they were then, and now.

peacefrog1916 - Hey no problemo Robbie!

No Pasarán indeed and it is a shame that the UK royal family fascists are getting past us to the Scottish Parliament every so often. We will need to put a stop to that one day - then it really will be "No Pasarán!"

Many Thanks!!

[kiwidog001]

many thanks for that, I was wondering how to see the programme I had heard so much about. Tom Murray was my childhood mentor and I knew many of the remaining brigaders before I eventually left Scotland.

FELICIA BROWNE (First British volunteer to die, aged 32, she was an artist and Communist) Generous, gifted, brave, Sincere and true, To futurity gave All that was best in you. Bravely you lived, Nobly you died, What you believed, Treachery denied. We will remember Those pioneer years, The heroic number Our hopes and our fears. Salud! dear comrade, We honour with pride The artist who lived, The fighter who died. MARY BROOKSBANK, Dundee working class poetess.

GRAVES IN SPAIN BY MARY BROOKSBANK Tread softly, senoritas, o'er their lonely graves, Spaniards mute your voices for our dead; Stars shine steadfast, eternal vigil keep, Light soft the soil around each valient head. A future age shall write their selfless story, Pioneers of progres, the path you paved The world's marching feet shall tread again When history's final battle humanity has saved; Rest ye the world's best and bravest, In your lonely graves in Spain.
