Been there demic77, I wandered in by myself, it's creepy.

Don't forget the International Brigades.  Men and women from different countries who travelled to Spain to fight the fascists.  People who didn't need to drafted or told what to do, they went becuase they knew what was going on and they cared.  It's estimated that some 500 Scots volunteered.

Meanwhile our government stuck to the Non-Intervention agreement which naturally other signature countries such as Germany, Italy and Russia broke, sealing Spain's fate, and some would say one of the major steps along the road to WW2.
