Jack Larkin Jones (1913 - 21 April 2009)
The sad news has come in that Jack Jones, President of the International Brigades Memorial Trust, passed away last night peacefully in his sleep.
My condolences go out to his son Mick and family, and more news will be given later.
Bob Doyle (12 Feb. 1916 - 22 Jan. 2009)
It is with great regret that I pass on the news that Bob Doyle, one of the last two Irish International Brigaders, has died in London, aged 92. The initial statemetnt from Marlene Sidaway of the IBMT and a statement by Manus O'Riordan are available here.
At this emotional time for his family and friends, the best I can do is to offer my personal cndolences and to remind everyone that Bob kept saying, the sruggle goes on. There will be a Memorial Event in Dublin, Feb. 14th. See details.
