Not a Spaniard but a Spaniphone, ( if such a word exisits).
An Argentinian volunteer in the Somerset Light Infantry.
Lieutenant P.N.L. Priani MC.
He was commissioned into Royal Fusiliers but served with 4 SLI from Normandy to Germany winning the MC in the process.
Known as "Pedro" or " South American Joe" he was badly wounded in the arm , April 1945.
I wonder if anyone knows what became of him, did he stay in the UK or return to Argentina?
Just looking at London Gazette I see his full name is Pedro Norberto Luis Priani
This is from the Gazette of his MC.
