numis , All i know about the Cubans which fought into the Brigadas Internacionales is that one of these was Rolando Masferrer , a well known leftist and adventurer , he was Senator and leaded a gang called Tigres de Masferrer . take a look in Wiki to his Biography ,Rolando Masferrer Rojas . about 1000 Cubans fought in the Spanish Civil War for the Republican side, the casualties were high some sources said that died. Another well known combattant was Pablo de la Torriente Brau ,Ramiro Azcuy, Joaquin Ordoqui, Jaime Cuevas , Policarpo Candon , Alberto Bofill and many more

A bit of curiosity , Your Great grandfather served in the 23 LIR but as ? he wears a soldier uniform I assume it is Field grey with grass green collar patches , but he wears gaiters and not putees , he dont carry rank stars on the collar patch so he was not a NCO , perhaps he was attached as motorcyclist to the regimental staff ?

PREM, for the future take in account that Muslim States never uses something like a Cross in badges or emblems or decorations. inclusive misunderstandig the Geneva Cross for a Christian Symbol they dont uses the Red Cross Flag or Brassard ,instead they have the Red Half Moon or the Red Lion and sun in times of the Imperial Iran , the Lion and sun badge was abolished in 1980 and replaced with the Red crescent
