In January 1937 he was appointed commander of the 59th Mixed Brigade, a unit with which he intervened in the Battle of Alfambra; his unit suffered such casualties that it was disbanded. In August 1938 he received the command of the 36th Division,^[1][2] on the Extremadura front. At the end of the war, he was captured by the nationalists, who subsequently imprisoned him.
