Manuel Mora Torres (1913-2005) was an Andalusian anarchist, trade unionist and militant.

In July 1938, in the face of the Ebro Offensive, Mora was appointed commander of the 16th Division of the XII Army Corps.

[1][2] On July 27 the division crossed the Ebro,[3] participating in the fighting against Villalba de los Arcos.

On August 22, a nationalist attack against the 16th Division positions caused their disbandment,[4] including its commander.

[n. 1] Manuel Mora was unaccounted for several hours, until he reported to the command post of the 124th Mixed Brigade and communicated (falsely) to Juan Modesto that the nationalist advance had already reached the Ebro river.
