This is going to be a tad intermittent but the idea is to attempt to create a chronology of these groups as well as provide some sort of memorial to the members killed or imprisoned.

14 June 1939  Several JJ.LL groups arrested.Among thoise arrested is Celedonio Garcia Casino ( " Celes" ). He is released from prison in November 1945 , at which point he goes on to fight alongside Joesp Lluis Facerias.

21 June 1939 Salvador Gomez Talon, Juan Baeza and Jose Tarin return to Spain to attempt to free Talon's brother and others from prison. Francisco Ponzan and Juanel Molina ( the General Council of the Libertarian Movement's delegate for the French concentration. camps?) had drawn up a plan to help.They were accompanied into Spain by three members of the Ponzan network- Pascual Lopez Lagarta, Francisco Vidal and the guide Juan Catala. As well as freeing prisoners the job of the Gomez-Tarin group was to prepare the ground for CNT activity outside Barcelona.The printer Mario Marcelino Goyeneche and the engraver Manuel Benet Beltran forged seals, stamps and official chits for the group. The cost of this was funded from hold ups the group carried out. Using the forged chits and dressed as Civil Guards the group managed to free dozens of prisoners. Eventually they were discovered and two soldiers were killed in the ensuing shoot out.The group then would free prisoners as they were on the way to prison or were being transferred between prisons. One time ten prisoners on their way to execution were released from a van driven by Civil Guards. On 8th September 1939 the group were arrested along with others ( including Gomez's brother they had released)

December 24   Simon Gracia Flerigan and Placido Ortiz Gratal, the two members of the "Los Maños" group arrested on 9th January 1950, executed. Also Victoriano Muñoz Treserras (or Trasserra) (born in Barcelona in 1923). He was executed alongside Simón Gracia Fleringán and Plácido Ortiz Gratal. He is described simply as a "CNT driver and a guerrilla with the Los Maños group". Possibly he joined the group late on, which would explain why so little, other than his union affiliation, is known about him and why he is often overlooked. [note from Los Maños: the lads from Aragon].
