ROSENDO CAMPS MATA
Rosendo is one of the five Cuban survivors who fought in Spain, but his advanced age and the passage of two strokes are not allowed to reconstruct their history as deseo.Tampoco would have been my family has been able to preserve the memory of this veteran with whom I could barely cross a few words as well of being deaf has great difficulty expressing themselves, but retains a certain lucidity, the same that allowed look at me firmly when I informed him that I was a English man who wanted to meet Cuban veterans of the war in Spain and there were still people in the world interested in knowing that era who lived in the trenches could española.De our contact conclude that in November 2005 that was when I visited, had 84 years and all he could express their memories of the war was the harshness of his situation and his unit, the 126th Brigade Internacional.Observando the different waves of Cuban who went to fight in Spain I would venture to speculate on the possibility that Rosendo form part of the contingent that went to Cuba in May 1938, although as I say, there is no documentary evidence oral or these hechos.Los years have passed slowly for Rosendo he managed to leave Spain live and raise a family that gave him four children and several family nietos.Su informed me that he had worked in the sector "gourmet" and who barely heard about his time in Spain.
Before leaving his home in the Havana municipality of Playa, tried to sing the anthem of the brigade and raised his fist with a strong effort to express something: Health Mate!
