Normally Spanish Civi War Milita are characterised by workers in mono/boilersuits. In the opening days of the conflict, ordinary urban dwellers in suits took part as well and they tend to be overlooked.
Given they have largely picked up Mauser rifles, would also make proxy Spartakists, Volksturmm and 1920's IRA.? Cheers

Mark, all the above plus French maquisards in '44, plus assorted civilian partisans around occupied Europe. Excellent photos, those! Leland R. Erickson |

Great pictures, especially the old image superimposed onto the modern. What is that bloke wearing on his head though, the one stood next to the Hotchkis? |
