THERE is a famous often-used quote, “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
That sentiment is the reason the wider labour movement continue to hold International Brigade Memorial events all over the country.
On October 6 in Fife, we held another event to commemorate the disbandment of the International Brigade. We were joined by members of volunteers’ families, Labour councillors, trade union activists and members of the public.
We did this not just to remember the sacrifice made by all the brave men and women who went to Spain but to remember why they went. We hope to keep this history alive and pass the lessons learned to the next generation.
