GALAN TORRES, J.A.. Those veterinarians of Annual. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2019, vol.75, n.4, pp.228-236.  Epub June 22, 2020. ISSN 1887-8571.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1887-857120190004000010.

Near the first centenary of some tragic events known to history as the Annual Disaster, an enclave of North Africa where, in July and August 1921, Thousands of Spanish soldiers died massacred by the rifles and hordes, I have tried to remind the military veterinarians who lived those very hard days fulfilling the mission they had entrusted, giving accredited show of companionship, courage and heroism.

For this purpose I have relied on abundant bibliography, Melilla cemetery archives, personal testimonies of descendants, and documentary sources related to the contradictory trial for the granting of the collective Laureate to the Alcantara Hunters Regiment 14. I have also consulted in the municipal archives of the populations where our fellow veterinary protagonists of this work were natural.

Keywords : Annual; Military Veterinarians; Centenary.
