A legionary battalion, surrounded on the Basque front by the three times more numerous reds, defended itself for a whole day, repelling the attacks that came from everywhere. Under the firestorm, the battalion commander sent every quarter of an hour to the headquarters radio news on the course of the fight, thus facilitating the sending of reinforcements to the nationals, who in night they were able to put the reds on the run.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Battle in a cemetery on the outskirts of Bermeo" by Achille Beltrame depicts a fierce skirmish that took place during the Spanish Civil War. In this intense battle scene, a legionary battalion valiantly defends itself against three times more numerous communist forces, known as the reds. Surrounded and outnumbered, the battalion fights relentlessly throughout the day, repelling attacks from all directions. Amidst billowing smoke and raging fires, the battalion commander sends regular updates via radio to headquarters about the progress of the fight. These reports prove vital in coordinating reinforcements for their side. As night falls, aided by these reinforcements, the nationalist soldiers manage to turn the tide of battle and force their communist adversaries into retreat. The image showcases not only the horrors of war but also highlights elements of architecture and art within its composition. The cemetery's stone church stands as a solemn backdrop to this violent clash between opposing forces. Graveyards and gravestones serve as haunting reminders of lives lost in this conflict. Beltrame's masterful illustration captures both chaos and bravery amidst destruction. This powerful artwork was originally published in Courier Sunday on May 16th, 1937.
