Biography

[edit]

An electrician by profession, he was affiliated with the CNT-FAI. After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War he joined the confederal militias, where he held various positions. In January 1937 he was appointed commander of the 59th Mixed Brigade, a unit with which he intervened in the Battle of Alfambra; his unit suffered such casualties that it was disbanded. In August 1938 he received the command of the 36th Division,[1][2] on the Extremadura front. At the end of the war, he was captured by the nationalists, who subsequently imprisoned him. He was shot in the Eastern Cemetery on 26 September 1941.[3]
