"The Sons of Spain" the story of a British volunteer who fought in the Spanish Civil War

[@bagpipediscsdotcom]

Thank you for this. My great uncle, Clifford Lawther, was one of those killed at the opening of the Battle of Jarama. Like Joseph Kahn he had journeyed there via Albacete from where he wrote his last letter home.

George Drever, great uncle taken prisoner of war - received death telecom and insurance, later turned up alive and well - was in the camp with george orwell and many others. Great men fighting for a cause.

THE BEST QUOTE I'VE HEARD THIS YEAR: "It isn't possible to explain to fascists where they are wrong - so that you have to get rid of them. And if you don;t get rid of them, they will do - in another 50 years -precisely what they did in Germany in 1932/33."

France and the UK refused to support the democratically elected Spanish Republic when the fascists launched their military coup in 1936. The Republicans had no choice but to go to the Soviets for help, which came with strings attached.

We didn't have tanks, he says,,, in fact the republican army not only had an inmense superiority in man-power, but during the first two years of the war they also had an inmense advantage in armament, including, not only tanks, but also air force and warships. Why did they loose then? They lost because they spent almost as much energy killing each other as they spent killing 'fascists'.. purges against anarquists and against troskyts... battles for power between socialists and communists.. etc.
