Abstract

Writing about the volunteers participating in struggles of the Spanish Civil War, one reservation is necessary. Namely only persons coming from the British Isles were taken into account, not from other parts of the Empire. Historians established that some 2400–2500 combatants from the United Kingdom went to Spain and only about 30 served in the rebels camp. That means that the unequivocal majority supported pro-governmental forces, particularly International Brigades. Text bring up the problems of the way of reaching Spain, motivations of decisions to fight, formed troops and their participation in military fights, social composition of recruits, most important functions taken up in Spain, treatment by the authorities and finally post-war careers of combatants. The questions of the British voluntaries’ significance in the Spanish Civil War will be also justified.
