There are many forgotten non-military histories from the Spanish Civil War. These include, for example, the work of organisations such as the UK's National Joint Committee for Spanish Relief and Basque Children's Committee; the stories of refugees, including political exiles and evacuated children; and the activities of the merchant seafarers who evaded the Francoist blockades to deliver supplies to Republican ports. One such hero was Captain David John Jones, known as 'Swansea Jones' in Wales, 'El Patatero' to the Republicans, and 'Potato Jones' to the world's press.
