"The Spanish Republicans offensive across the Ebro River is still making headway, although its progress has slowed down in the last forty-eight hours.
"The Republicans yesterday reached positions a few miles north of Gandesa, about twelve miles south of the Ebro."

Very cool! Thanks. I checked out a current road map of Spain and found just about all the place names mentioned in the article. They are all found on the road that runs from Tortosa to Saragossa. Since your map shows that area already in Insurgent hands in May ‘38 the fighting described in this story must have been a rear-guard, last-ditch sort of action.
