Albert Lyonel "Abe" Harris (1907-c.1973?) was a volunteer with the 4th Artillery Group of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. He was also associated with the American Medical Bureau to Aid Spanish Democracy (AMB) and a representative of the Junior Section of the International Workers Order during the Spanish Civil War, making recommendations on problems of child welfare in war-torn Spain. Harris saw action at Fuentes de Ebro, Teruel, Cuenca and Levante. The images in this collection were acquired by Harris in the course of his service as an artilleryman and social worker/observer in Spain. The collection contains combat and non-combat photographs of artillery, bombed/shelled cities, injured soldiers, military vehicles (aircraft and armored personnel carriers), Spanish Civilians (men, women and children), and snapshots of Spanish cities and towns.
