These Spanish War children were shipped to Britain, Belgium, the Soviet Union, other European countries and Mexico.Habana had been equipped to accommodate 800 passengers, but this voyage consisted of 3,886 children, 96 teachers, 118 assistants and 16 Catholic priests.[2] All the children and accompanying adults were housed in a single, large refugee camp in North Stoneham, Eastleigh, near Southampton.[5] Some of the refugees became professional footballers, including Sabino Barinaga, Emilio Aldecoa, José Gallego and Raimundo Lezama.In 1966, he published the novel El otro árbol de Guernica ("The other Gernika tree") inspired by his refugee experiences.
