Hi
My name is Georges living in France.
A friend of my parents recently died. A former Spanish republican soldier engaged in the French foreign legion in 1939, made the Norwegian campaign in June 1940.
Repatriated to Trentham Park in July 1940, he refused to continue fighting in the French army and was incorporated with his Spanish legionary comrades in the 23rd Spanish commando of the 8th British Army.
In November 1942 he returned to the French army and fought in the troops of the Foreign Legion in Tunisia.
I am looking for information on this Spanish commando.
This friend did not want to tell me more.
Could someone tell me where I can find information about this Spanish commando?
With thanks
