Hi!,
First, congratulations for reborn ETS section...Many thanks!
During first weeks of Spanish Civil War (SCW) the volunteers of Carlist party were organizated in "Tercios"(batallion size) or brigades. This unit: "Tercio de requetes Nuestra Seņora de Monserrat" was raised from catalonians refugees of Republican lines...
As usual these young militians wearing a mixture of military dress and civilian garments. Only the red beret (boina roja) and religious badge called "detente bala" was characteristic of volunteer requete. You can see the miniature figures , the heavy weapons team from the old Airfix "WWIBritish Artillery" reisued for Hat.
Saludo a todos.
Cheers
