WHEN miner Tom Jones of north Wales told his family, one morning in 1937, that he was off to Colwyn Bay for the weekend, they had no idea of his real mission.
Jones did not head for the sleepy holiday resort some 50 miles away from his home village of Rhosllanerchrugog. He made the risky, and highly illegal, journey to Spain, as a member of the International Brigades determined to take on the fascist forces of General Franco.
He is one of three volunteers for liberty featured on a striking new banner unveiled in London recently, as part of the annual commemoration held by the International Brigade Memorial Trust (IBMT).
