Today's quote

"Looking back on those days it was terrible: the spectacle of seeing refugees pouring over the frontier, wounded carrying wounded, mothers carrying children, some of them already dead, and the utter despair on the part of thousands of refugees who were being pursued by the advancing fascist army."

Lou Kenton, volunteer ambulance driver from London’s East End, arriving at the Franco-Spanish border in January 1939

Today's quote:

"There’s a valley in Spain called Jarama / It’s a place that we all know so well / It was there that we gave of our manhood / And many of our brave comrades fell. / We are proud of the British Battalion / And the stand for Madrid that they made / For they fought like true sons of the people / As part of the Fifteenth Brigade."

From “Jarama Valley / Song of the British Battalion” (anon)
