The International Brigade Memorial Trust was formed in 2002 from
the veterans of the International Brigade Association, the Friends
of the I.B.A., representatives of the Marx Memorial Library, and
historians specialising in the Spanish Civil War. Its aims are:
"To educate the
public in the history of the men and women who fought in the International
Brigades and in the medical and other support services in the Spanish
Civil War. In particular, by preserving and cataloguing valuable
historical material relating hereto and by making such material
available to the public."
"To foster good citizenship by remembering those who have fallen
in the Spanish Civil War by preserving, maintaining and assisting
in the construction of
war memorials." |
