La Vanguardia, front page (Barcelona, 12 March 1937): "La lucha en los frentes del Centro"
Photo front page under the headline "La lucha en los frentes del Centro": three helmeted soldiers file up a timbered trench, the front man smiling at the camera. The caption says soldiers of the Republic's army, relieved from the line, are going to rest by way of this "magnífica trinchera". The tell: the whole page is one orderly, well-built, relieved-from-the-line scene; no losses, positions or dates of fighting appear on it.
