Salvador Díaz Ordóñez

He died on 14 October 1911 at Izhaven, near Melilla, from shots from a Rifian while inspecting the Spanish position there during the Kert campaign.

Ordóñez returned to Trubia in 1887 and resumed designing coastal artillery and howitzers of 210mm (8.27), 240mm (9.45") and 305mm (12") calibre.

During the Spanish–American War he commanded a two-gun battery at the battle of El Caney on 1 July 1898, where he was wounded in action.

He was also appointed President of the Technical Committee of Artillery and given command of the Citadel of San Pedro in Jaca.

Ordóñez maintained his interest in artillery matters and worked on designs for a new 240mm gun and howitzer.

He died as he was being transported back to the nearest station of a railway line serving the Spanish mines in the area.
