It is now many years since the terrible events
that gave rise to
the evacuation of so many young people
from the Basque region of Spain.
Sadly, most of the original niños/niñas are no longer with us,
but their children and
grandchildren have a continuing
interest in their family histories.
Due to resource constraints, this web site can no longer be actively maintained
for the announcement of new activities and events.
It has been preserved as a long-term archive
of the existing
material to help families and historians.
BCA'37 UK will continue to publicise news and events
via its social media
on "X"
and Facebook.
