• Support - A horrific photo in terms of content, but it is historically important and well shot in crisp focus. Jusdafax 20:24, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
• Support - To be honest I think it's a bit soft, but the encyclopedic value is too great to pass this up. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:07, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
• Comment: Noting that the image was added to the articles just one week ago, I'd like to see more details regarding the circumstances of the excavation of the grave. It's stated that "the excavation occurred in July–August of 2014," but this appears only in a photo caption as it appears in the Spanish Civil War article, without further in-line explanation. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:14, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
• Support I've improved the caption. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:06, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
