Negative comments
The records include assessments of the volunteers made by their political superiors in the latter part of the war in Spain. Many are highly derogatory, referring to desertion, drunkenness and indiscipline, but should be taken with a pinch of salt, sometimes a very large amount. They were written for internal use, primarily as an assessment of suitability for future membership of the Communist Party at home and were often made by a party representative who may have had a grudge against certain individuals or may simply have been wrong. Many volunteers with outstanding military records in Spain – including senior ranking officers – received extremely critical assessments.

Where killed:
Comments: Migrated to Queensland in July 1925. Joined the Australian LP and Australian Workers' Union as a chauffeur mechanic. Address given as; 20, Cork Street, Bullington Gardens London. Used the name Lionel Leslie East in Spain. Originally believed killed at Aragón in March 1938. Actually POW at San Pedro de Cardeña. Amirah Inglis recounts (pp 183-184) how, in January 1939, HSJ borrowed the identity of Albert Robinson, who had decided to stay in London for a further operation on his hand, in order to take his place on a ship bound for Australia. He was discovered during the voyage and the Australian government said that if he was an IBer he could continue. The latest twist in his story is that he then became a Merchant Seaman using the name Stuart Degrenier, Greenyer being his maternal grandmother’s family. In 1945 he married Margaret McEwan Wilson in Glasgow and had one son Edmund Grayle Stuart Francis Johnson Degrenier (known as Grayle). Grayle died in 1999 without marrying or having children. He was a merchant seaman up until at least 1950’s when he and Margaret eventually settled in Southampton. There is also evidence to suggest he had another family, as a result of a relationship in Wiltshire, prior to going to Spain, this time under the name of Stuart Law, but more information is welcomed.

Juvenile Footballer with Dundee team Derby United, then a Junior with Osborne and Downfield. BA for 3 years. Timber Yard Worker with Bell & Sime Ltd His name appeared in a list of those killed in Spain in the Daily Worker in the Spring of 1937. However this was revised in the same paper on September 3rd 1937, page 3, stating that the names of John McEwan and James Donald (Methil) had been listed as killed in error and that both were alive. However, his obituary appeared in the Dundee Courier on 20th August 1937 (with photo) and in The Scotsman, conflicting with the report of his being alive printed two weeks later in the Daily Worker. His mis-spelt surname on the 1975 Dundee Memorial (McEwen) was corrected on a supplementary plaque unveiled in Albert Square on 11th October 2008 by Jack Jones and Allan Craig Jnr. Last words to his mother were; “If I don’t go and fight Fascism, I’ll just have to wait and fight it here”. In the Dundee Courier Obituaries held by the Dundee Central Library, two more Dundee names are given but both appear in the Foreign Office Repatriation Lists of British Volunteers returning from Spain in December,1938. Their deaths must have been originally reported in error.
