Two members of Gibraltar's police force questioning a Spanish boy on the gang-way of a refugee boat, August 1936. The Spanish Civil War, which started in the summer of 1936, meant that thousands of Spaniards became refugees, some finding sanctuary in Gibraltar, others heading for France. By August, the British authorities had to shut their border with Spain to refugees to prevent an epidemic sweeping through those refugees who had already arrived. Date: 1936
