Comrades of the International Brigade, political reasons,
reasons of state, the welfare of that same cause for which
you offered your blood with boundless generosity, are sending
you back, some of you to your own countries, and others forced
exile. You can go proudly. You are history. You are legend.
You are the heroic example of democracy's solidarity and
universality. We shall not forget you, and, when the olive tree
of peace puts forth its leaves again, mingled with the
laurels of the Spanish Republic's victory - come back!
