Louise Michel battalions

The Louise Michel Battalion were two unconnected battalions of French-speaking volunteers from France and Belgium in the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War.

They were named after Louise Michel, a heroine of the Paris Commune of 1871 known as the "Red virgin of Montmartre".

Both battalions mustered in November and December 1936.
