La Columna is a UK based re-enactment group commemorating and celebrating the international volunteers who went to fight alongside the Spanish people in their defence against Fascism during the Spanish Civil War. La Columna is a non-party political organisation but with strong sympathies for the Spanish Republican cause of the late 1930s.
This member of La Columna is portraying a Brigader at rest, he is reading a copy of La Vanguardia one of many newspapers produced by the Republican side during the war. 
Mairi Ann looking rather demure dressed as a British volunteer Ambulance driver cum nurse who served alongside the more commonly remembered male volunteers of the International Brigades.
It seems something has gone wrong with the La Columna web site (and the pictures on this...). Apologies, I'll work on it
