Today's quote

"It was not until I served with the British Medical Unit in Spain that I learned the true meaning of the word comradeship. For the last few months I was with a mobile unit on the Aragon and Teruel Front… We were bombed and machine-gunned from the air; we were continually bring forced to retreat… we had no means of heating in the bitter cold of the winter; we had to deal with as many as 200 cases a night, and we sometimes worked in the most appalling conditions for 40 hours at a stretch."

Phyllis Hibbert (volunteer nurse)

Today's quote:

"I am proud to say that Wales is well represented in the British units here by its sturdy and freedom-loving coal miners. The Welsh National Anthem… has been sung more than once in the trenches on the Madrid and Aragon fronts and by now many brave Welsh miners have been killed… they died to preserve denocracy not only for Spain but also in Wales. History will prove that these Welsh miners did not die in vain."

Tom Jones (Welsh volunteer)
