Spanish,

I have been looking for information on Spanish volunteers but not found any so far.

I thought Davitt's book might contain some references but this proved not to be the case.

I then searched The Times newspapers for 'Spanish volunteer' and 'Spanish Brigade' without success.

I'll keep looking.

Regards

Spanish,

This site ( www.henrileriche.com/2013/09/23/foreigne...egrity-binds-allies/ ) suggests there were no Spanish volunteers:



Accepting that some Spaniards would have fought in the war as individuals, do you think there many such men or that they were formed into a Spanish unit?

In the list above why are 6,000 "Afrikanders" noted as "foreign" members of the commando's?
