GUEST,warren fahey Australia and the Spanish Civil War (20) RE: Australia and the Spanish Civil War 07 Apr 10


Sandra alerted me to this subject. It's something I have never thought about but it is a great question. The short answer is that Australia's left-thinking, including all branches of socialism (incl communism) were very interested in the Spanish Civil War and viewed it as an international 'freedom fight'. Whilst I can't recall any particular songs there were several SCW songs included in early Socialist Songbooks published here. I have also seen such songs in socialist newspapers and magazines from the period. The fact 66 Aussies went over has sent me looking. Warren Fahey
