EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a soldier from the Philippine Islands serving in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion of the International Brigade during the Spanish Civil War. With intense focus, he peers through a periscope towards enemy Nationalist positions, ready to defend the Republican Government.
The International Brigade was a volunteer force made up of individuals from all over Europe and North America who were united in their support for the Republican cause. The Abraham Lincoln Battalion specifically included men from Cuba, Mexico, the Philippines, Canada, and the USA - showcasing the diverse backgrounds of those who fought together against fascism.
In this image, we see not just a soldier but a symbol of international solidarity and bravery in the face of adversity. His determination is palpable as he surveys the battlefield with unwavering resolve.
As we reflect on this moment frozen in time, let us remember all those who sacrificed their lives fighting for freedom and justice during this tumultuous period in history. May their courage inspire us to stand up against oppression wherever it may arise.
