Orwell is the tall fellow at the very back, standing above the rest.
Christ. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. That war did not end well
Nearly ended him too. He got shot in the neck, but survived. When he was discharged from the hospital, he intended to head back to the front, but he received word from his wife that the Communists had turned on the Anarchists and Trotskyist, and were rounding people up to be executed. He and his wife narrowly escaped the country with their lives.
Shit was hardcore!
Homage to Catalonia is an excellent read as well
Just Orwell, doing GOAT shit as usual.
