Harold Cardozo

Harold Gordon Cardozo (1888–1963) was an English journalist, soldier, war correspondent, and author.

During the First World War, Cardozo enlisted as a private into the Rifle Brigade and on 26 June 1917 was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant into the Royal Irish Rifles.

[2] Cardozo’s main career was as a Daily Mail correspondent.

He covered the Spanish Civil War for the newspaper, and George Orwell commented on his reports “ the Daily Mail, amid the cheers of the Catholic clergy, was able to represent Franco as a patriot delivering his country from hordes of fiendish Reds”.

[3] In his book March of a Nation (1937), Cardozo told the story of the war from a point of view supportive of Franco.
