International Brigade, Spain

[frank ward]

I'm looking for information about people from the Highlands & Islands who went off to Spain in the 1930's to fight for the Republic against Franco's fascists.

If you know anybody, such as a father or grandfather, who joined the International Brigade or POUM, or any related history, please contact me off-board at gobbledegook@ukonline.co.uk
or tel 01862 811233


Many thanks
