Josep Eduardo Almudéver Mateu, who was born on 30 July 1919 in Marseille to Spanish parents, was 16 and living in the Valencian town of Alcàsser when Franco’s coup triggered the Spanish civil war. After lying about his age to enlist in the republican army, Almudéver was wounded and sent home when his true age emerged. Undeterred, he used his French nationality to join the International Brigades so he could carry on fighting.
