La Ronda de Boltaña sings...
La Ronda de Boltaña (http://www.rondadors.com/) signs to the 43rd Division Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War... With the Forty three (mother, you do not cry), by the world in which I believe I will fight with faith!. This is the translation more or less and history was: When the Franco's army broke the Republican Aragon Front in March, their fast advance left two Republican divisions, the 31st and 43rd, cut off in the valley of Bielsa (Pyrenees of Huesca, Spain). This valley is surrounded on three sides by rough mountains, and opens to the French Pyrenean. While the 31st division disbanded disorderly and fled in panic to France, the 43rd, commanded by Antonio Beltrán (el Esquinazau) and reinforced by loyal soldiers of the disbanded division, put up a stubborn and surprisingly strong resistance against the pressing Franco's army after evacuate the civil population to France. 2004-07-24.
