Victims, human and equine, of the bombing of Lleida (Lérida), 2 November, 1937.  After the Spanish Civil War, the town's population was boosted by migration of people from southern Spain incentivised by the Franco régime - very good for the city's economy, as it turned out, but productive of cultural "issues" that last to this day.  Best regards, JR.

Victims.

A loved one stands over a victim of the Spanish Nationalist air forces' bombing of Lleida (Lérida in Castillian), 2 November 1937.  This city was a strategic key blocking the approaches to Barcelona by Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War.  It was repeatedly bombed prior to its capture by the Nationalists in 1938.  In the 2 November raid, some 300 people, including some 50 children, were killed.   Best regards, JR.
