A Memorial to those who Fought and Died in the International Brigade

The International Brigade who fought against the fascists in the Spanish Civil War contained about 32,000 from 53 nations.

As I walked along the river to Craven Cottage, I came across this memorial to those from Hammersmith and Fulham who died in the brigade.

Considering that a few thousand people from the United Kingdom were in the brigade, it is surprising I’d not seen a memorial before.
