The British Presence in the Spanish Military

This presence, sometimes punctual, has had a continuity in time, from the process of the Peninsular Reconquest, until the middle of the last century, ending in 1939. The authors will reel off, in seven chapters, the details and characteristics of this participation.

There are differences in this presence with those studied in previous works. British participation in the Spanish military will present a different character, since there are no families that intend to lead the group and thereby obtain benefits or privileged positions for the services rendered; there will be no national lobby, their individual interests have governed the participants.

This work does not intend to cover the entire presence of British in the Spanish military, but rather to present a sample of it, paving the way for further work.
