"Here dead we lie because we did not choose
To shame the land from which we sprung.
Life, to be sure is nothing much to lose
But young men think it is
And we were young..."
A.E. Haussman

"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself."
D.H. Lawrence

It was the men and women thus described who represented everything that was honourable, dedicated and positive about the contribution of the International Volunteer movement to the ultimate freedom of the Slovenian, Croatian, Bosnian nations and the people of Kosova. They were the best of the best, the bravest of the brave.

The memory of those we left behind are forever etched into our minds and burn brightly in our hearts as we who remain each year become a little older, turn that little bit more grey and settle into the comfort of normality. They live on in us and in the folklore of the people whose lives they fought to save, remaining as they did in those far off days...

*Not all of those who died are mentioned here. The names of some Islamic volunteers who were subsequently linked to the Al-Qa'eda organisation and the training camps run by that organisation in Bosnia-Hercegovina, have been removed at the request of the members of the Association.
