This is an original 1938 programme from the National Council of Labour's Great Demonstration, held at Royal Albert Hall on 22nd May 1938. The event was organised to protest the betrayal of democratic Spain during the Spanish Civil War, with speeches from key Labour Party figures including C.R. Attlee, Ellen Wilkinson, Stafford Cripps, and Hugh Dalton.

The programme includes a detailed order of events, featuring musical performances by the London Labour Choral Union, including songs like The Red Flag, The International, and The Peat Bog Soldiers—a moving tribute from political prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. This document is a significant piece of political history, reflecting the UK Labour Party’s solidarity with Spain in the fight against fascism.
