Lost Loyalists Reach French Line After Pyrenees Retreat
Nine thousand Loyalist militiamen and three thousand peasants retreat from the Franco Spanish frontier across a 60 mile front in a blizzard. They push through Bielsa toward France as French frontier authorities prepare to receive about twelve thousand refugees. The French Army sets up field kitchens to feed the climbers after a 20 mile ascent through ice filled passes.
