Entitled, Navarrese Marine Federico Clavería, the First SGM Correspondent the article that inaugurates the blog today talks about the case of Marine, Federico Claveria, son of Saturnino Claveria Razquin from Altsasu, a member of the first generation of correspondents in the history of the US Marine Corps.
His name is part of a cast of Basque war correspondents, albeit civilians, who preceded him, such as the historic Cecilia García de Guillarte (Tolosa, Gipuzkoa, 1915-1989), who covered the Northern Front during the Civil War in 1936, or Manu Leguineche (Arratzu, Bizkaia, 1941, Madrid, 2014), or the most recent Jon Sistiaga (Irun, Gipuzkoa, 1967), Mikel Ayestaran (Beasain, Gipuzkoa, 1967) or Ane Irazabal (Arrasate, Gipuzkoa, 1984).
A new chapter in our history that inaugurates today’s Echoes of Two Wars1936-1945 blog.
