Thread Name: Spanish Civil War Songbook Can You Help?
Subject: RE: Spanish Civil War Songbook Can You Help?
Thank you for that offer Jim - I am sending a PM with my address.
Thank you too Kate Lebow. That was very helpful. Deciphering handwriting when you are not familiar with the language and with the likely occurance of names in that language, is very difficult. I guess from your name that you have an advantage in these things. Thanks for giving me Polish Socialist Party for the letters PPS inscribed after C10's name. I had assumed that DKP stood for the German Communist Party. I suppose he could have been Polish and had spent time in Germany?
Do you know if there is an organisation for veterans , families and friends of International Brigaders in Poland ? I have not managed to find one yet. From my research into the songbook I have picked up other web based resources that you might find useful in your project but I'm not able send you a Personal Message with my e mail address unless you sign up as a Mudcat member. If that doesn't take your fancy I would say sign up for the ALBA e mail list ALBA LINK
which will allow you to send open e mails requesting information to a list of IB experts and enthusiasts worldwide ( But maybe you are already signed up .)
Thanks again for the help.
Regards, Geoff Lawes
