Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Memorial to honour 40 Fifers who risked their lives to fight in the Spanish Civil War.

The memorial is located on Forth Avenue, Kirkcaldy. The men and women came from Buckhaven, Cairneyhill, Cowdenbeath, Dundonald, Dunfermline, Dysart, East Wemyss, Glencraig, Hill of Beath, Kinglassie, Kirkcaldy, Lumphinnans, Methil, Methilhill and Rosyth.

The inscription reads.

TO HONOUR THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHO WENT FROM THE LOTHIANS AND FIFE TO SERVE IN THE WAR IN SPAIN 1936 – 1939

NOT TO A FANFARE OF TRUMPETS, NOR EVEN THE SKIRL O’ THE PIPES, NOT FOR THE OFF’R OF A SHILLING, NOR TO SEE THEIR NAMES UP IN LIGHTS.

THEIR CALL WAS A CRY OF ANGUISH, FROM THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE OF SPAIN. SOME PAID WITH THEIR LIVES IT IS TRUE; THEIR SACRIFICE WAS NOT IN VAIN.

ERECTED BY FRIENDS OF THE INTERNATIONAL BRIGADE ASSOCIATION.

‘FOR PEACE & DEMOCRACY’

‘NO PASARANi’
