Mientras la patria exista

Synopsis of Mientras la patria exista

The feat of the Alcántara cavalry regiment in the Rif War, during the tragic days of Annual (summer of 1921), constitutes an indelible chapter in military history. The riders of Alcántara repeatedly charged against enemy positions, knowing that a sure death awaited them. With their blood they accepted the sacrifice of their lives and gave the greatest example of love for Spain. In the open, to protect the Spanish troops pursued by the enemy, the Alcántara squadrons carried out a feat that would take more than ninety years to be officially recognized, when the regiment was awarded the Collective Laureate Cross of San Fernando. This book, entitled 'Centaurs of the Sun, Passion and Death of the Alcántara Regiment', includes illustrations and is part of the 'History Chronicles' series.
