Did you know that the Communists in the Soviet Union murdered 15,000,000+ Christians 3 years before your commie heroes tried to bring this terror to Spain?

My brother Dave Buffman was killed in 1938 at the Battle of Ebro, just 3 weeks before the foreigners were told to leave Spain. He was 22. He died 4 years before I was born. Just about 4 years ago I was able to get the only photo I have of him in uniform in Spain from the IBMT in London via email from Jim Jump. His name is on a plaque in Leeds town hall, one of 8 killed from Leeds. I also was sent some documents. I really appreciate the work that the IBMT is doing. Yvonne Cheyney, Southern California

Every minute is wonderful. What is the tune near the end about our songs are not for slavery? I don't know it ? (Facebook: 12th October 2021)
@IBMTnews3 жыл бұрын
The song is 'The Minstrel Boy.' An Old Irish song written by Thomas Moore about the 1798 rebellion. BTW also taken up in USA. Brenda O'Riordan sang it when we were on an IBMT visit to Spain out in the open looking out over the last battlefields of the International Brigades. The verse you refer to goes: "The harp he loved nare spoke again For he tore its cords asunder And said, "No chains shall sully thee Thou soul of love and brav'ry Thy songs were made for the pure and free They shall never sound in slavery"

lol... there were far more Irishmen alongside Franco's forces...than amongst the republicans... where they killed each other between reds and anarchists in Catalogna... Or Albacete, where the reds killed many more "volonteers" who did not comply with the rules of the "Party"... t han the "fascists" did... lol
@ciarancrossey93332 жыл бұрын
It is true that more Irishmen went with Franco - it''s not true that they fought in the SCW. A case of friendly fire killed some bandera men, and when they were ordered into action on the front, they rebelled, so were sent home. The Republican/Left forces honorably fought fascism.

Thank you for your comment. You can hear Glenda Browne reading a piece from Brinkman's report of Felicia's death filmed just a few yards from the bridge they tried to blow up. There's a photo of the bridge as it is now under the video if you scroll down. Salud! flic.kr/p/qQ9b86

@@IBMTnews Thank you very much for sending me this information .Over the years I occasionally do some research into Felicias life....but never thought I would come across this video clip.I still have an article from The Guardian from July 1996 which mentions her at length and a book of Claude Cockburns writings which includes his recollection of a visit to her home in the early 1930's.

Funny that you forgot to say that it was the party considered in the right that approved and supported vote for women, unlike the socialist party you were against women's vote. Total bullshit and biased speech, you can easily check on the internet what socialist Margarita Nielsen said and thought, she was very much for murdering woman, not just men, that were either religious or not supporters of the frente popular.

I read somewhere that there was a platoon of Filipino brigaders (around 50, but in separate units) that fought in defence of the Republic. The Spanish released the Philippines in 1898, so to those brigaders, defending the legally elected Second Spanish Republic was probably like repaying a debt to the Spanish people. There was also a company (around 80 Filipinos) that fought for the Nationalists. Even now, the left/right divide in the Philippines is very obvious. Big-name corporations and establishments often don't like leftists and vise-versa. Even clans are broken apart because of political ideologies.
