I was fortunate to get to know the longest surviving Welsh veterans of the Spanish Civil War - Alun Menai Williams and Bob Peters. I recorded Bob's memories in a book, A BULLET SAVED MY LIFE, which is still available in a few places. Spanish Civil War biography - author signed POST-FREE UK (9780954890490) | eBay Here's some info. Bob Peters was a Welshman who joined the Canadian Mac-Pap battalion during the Spanish Civil War and was wounded at Brunete. After being shot in the back, Peters served as a dispatch rider in the Republican Army. Incredibly, the bullet which had lodged near his spine moved with the jarring impact of the rough roads and doctors were eventually able to cut it out. The book features more than 30 photographs and fascinating reproductions of Bob’s membership, pay and safe passage documents relating not only to the International Brigades but the Socorro Rojo Internacional and the anarchist CNT union. It includes information on the socialist and communist movements in Canada during the 1920s/1930s, a chapter on Bob's service in the London Irish during WW2, and photographs from the battle of Brunete. It features a foreword by First Minister of Wales Rhodri Morgan and a preface by the late Alun Menai Williams. The second photo is an x-ray from a field hospital showing the bullet in Bob's arm.
