George Brown, CPGB Central Committee member, was killed in Spain in 1937.There was a plaque erected in his memory at his home village in Ireland, June 28th and a memorial pamphlet.
George Brown (1906-1937) was a senior member of the CPGB when he volunteered for Spain where he was killed in action with the International Brigades in 1937.
Although he lived in Manchester, he was born in Inistioge, County Kilkenny, Ireland, so a local Memorial Committee undertook to erect a memorial plaque in the village on June 28th.
A report of the weekends events, with photographs, links thru to other documents on Brown is available at the website, Ireland and the Spanish Civil War.
