Incredible time Saturday talking about #ChurchillsSpaniards in #Manchester. Huge thanks to Dolores Long, the IBMT Manchester & Instituto Cervantes Manchester for their support. Also an emotional time meeting four families whose ancestors served in the Middle East Commandos. #ContinuingtheFight
As mentioned before, many Spaniards who were #ContinuingtheFight in the British Army during #WW2 in my book #ChurchillsSpaniards were some of the lucky ones. Many suffered a much worse fate. A witness to this suffering was Francesc Boix, known as "el fotógrafo de Mauthausen" 3/
