International Brigade in Spain
« on: Thursday 30 July 09 00:42 UTC (UK) »

Hello all,

I am trying to find any information about Thomas Bielstein's time in the International Brigade in Spain.  Thomas was born in England in 1907.  I know he was wounded in the leg and had a diet of mainly oranges!

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/spanjews.pdf.

YOUR THOMAS IS MENTIONED VERY BRIEFLY IN THIS LINK..YOU MIGHT WANT TO GOOGLE "INTERNATIONAL BRIGADE BIENSTEIN" AND THEN PRESS THE "CACHED" LINK,,,YOU DONT HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN TOO FAR,
ALSO IF YOU GOOGLE THAT,,YOU WILL SEE HIM MENTIONED IN A SITE FROM IRELAND,

Thanks Gortonboy, I looked at the "jewishvirtuallibrary" web site and found Thomas just as you said.  However, didn't get anywhere googling "international brigade bienstein" and failed to find the site from Ireland; looks like my surfing skills are somewhat lacking.

Hello Mike,

Got into that site eventually; it was the same info as on the Jewish site.

Thanks,
Martin.
