|SPANISHSKY.DK 16 NOVEMBER 2017 |
Here are some suggestions for further reading about the role of the American seamen and longshoremen in the support of the Second Spanish Republic
As in many other countries, maritime workers on the American Waterfront mobilised support for labour actions; refusing to load arms for Franco or sail on ships carrying cargo consigned to the fascists.

I have a question. James Harris was promenant in the Dockers’ strike. But he was using his Polish real name at the time. Do we know what Harris’ Polish name was?
Harris was the first Lincoln commander and he did not survive the war.

Dear Ray Hoff
I/we have no informations about James Harris. I think you have to contact Lincoln Brigade’s archive. If you can not get an answer there, send me an email and I will contact the Polish organization.
