Portée et contenu
Photocopy of a letter from Welsh landowner, Evan Morgan, Lord Tredegar, to Louis [La Fleur], as he made his way to the Canary Islands referring to his travelling companions on board the SS Alondra as ‘the vanguard of Genl. O’Duffy’s Greenshirts’, and stating ‘some of these gentlemen were by no means easy in their minds respecting the adventure into Spain. They had just received orders to go, so they went. Some had thrown up good job. One of the youngest, a certain Connolly, had had to leave a £12 a week job at the Ford car place at Dagenham… Connolly was endeavouring to work himself up to a bloodthirsty mood by studying the poems of Thomas Davis… This was a fine young fellow, far too good to be wasted on that affair’. Notes also reception at Las Palmas and Santa Cruz, military precautions, popularity of General Franco in the area, troops training in the Canaries and his interest in folklore.
