Gaston Leval

Leval was the son of a French Communard.[1]:45 He escaped to Spain in 1915 to avoid conscription during the First World War. In Spain he joined the anarcho-syndicalist Confederación Nacional del Trabajo trade union. Leval left for Argentina during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera where he would live from 1923 to 1936. He returned to Spain and became a militant fighter. Additionally, he documented the revolution and the urban and rural anarchist collectives.[1]:45
