Antiguo Cementerio del Carmen, Ponferrada, León. (2016)

Two men (Antonio Fernández Guerrero, 25, and José Canedo Fernández, 26) from the locality of Quilós, were shot here in front of the cemetery wall on 21 May 1942 and buried in a common grave. The cemetery was closed in 1965, and some graves relocated. But the common grave is probably still there and it is believed that it could hold the remains of 200 others, including 18 miners executed by the Guardia Civil in 1936 and the body of the legendary guerrilla fighter Manuel Girón, who died in 1951.
