Just been listening to a radio play about Charlie Donnelly the Irish poet who joined the Quinta Brigada to fight the fascists and died at 22 the battle of Yarama in the Spain Civil War.

Interesting if you have heard the Christy Moore song about the 15th International Brigade 'Viva la quinta Brigada'

It will only be on archive for a few more days.

Even the olives are bleeding

I came across the only Spanish Civil War memorial I have ever seen in the UK in Edinburgh this summer. It is at the end of the Princes Street Gardens.
