Viva la Quinta Brigada

"No Pasaran, the pledge that made them fight
Adelante was the cry around the hillside
Let us all remember them tonight"


Irish Volunteer, Bob Doyle, who fought against Franco in the Spanish Civil war, alongside the 50,000 brave men of the International Brigade, died today aged 93. Imprisoned by Italian facists in the San Pedro prison, Mr Doyle's story was retold in his autobiography 'Brigadista', an account of the fight against facism in pre-World War II Spain.
