Jason Gurney

Jason Gurney (1910–1973) was a British sculptor who fought in the Spanish Civil War.

His family moved to South Africa when he was a child and after leaving school he worked in Johannesburg.

He was wounded in the right hand by a sniper's explosive bullet in a lull between fighting in the trenches at Jarama.

His perceptive and vivid memoirs of the Spanish Civil War were published posthumously and are drawn from heavily by historians.

He knew and described Tom Wintringham Fred Copeman, André Marty, Martin Hourihan, Jock Cunningham, George Nathan, Vladimir Copic, Steve Nelson, and many others.
