“我记得当时的一切都让我很害怕：战场上的混乱、黑暗还有震耳欲聋的可怕喧嚣，泥泞中的蜿蜒跋涉，时刻提防眼前的沙包被引爆——手里的枪一点儿都不好用，但我不敢把枪放下，因为一旦找不到枪，事情只会更糟……鲍勃·斯迈利脸上的一处伤口不断地冒出鲜血，投弹时血就会溅到他的膝盖上。”[36]战斗当中，几名德国志愿者一路从另外一处敌军战壕突破到奥威尔他们激战的敌军战壕附近。但他们既不会说英语也不会说西班牙语，只能手忙脚乱地用手势和奥威尔他们交流。

以下是在战斗中缴获的战利品：一箱子弹，一箱手榴弹，几支步枪。都需要冒着敌人火力穿越泥泞才能被拖回POUM民兵修筑的战壕。在一支缺枪少弹的部队，这些就是无价之宝。

在遥远的南方，正在穆尔西亚的医院康复的鲍勃·梅里曼让妻子玛丽昂搬到了自己的病房居住——不论在哪场战争里，这都是几乎没有伤员能享受到的奢侈待遇。没等肩膀和手臂上的石膏拆掉，他就准备回到部队继续训练新来的美国志愿兵。玛丽昂陪着丈夫，二人冒着一路的炮火，先到了马德里，随后又抵达了哈拉马河战场。发现丈夫已经下定决心在身体恢复之后马上重返前线参加战斗，而自己也没有可能说服他一起返回美国后，她决定留下来。“只要能和鲍勃在一起，我愿意做任何事。所以，我也应征入伍，拿到服役证书，成了一名下士……我直接去找了个女裁缝，她为我做了一身带裙裤的卡其色毛料军服，料子和男款军服的一模一样。”[37]与其他大多数国外来的志愿者不同，玛丽昂会说一些西班牙语，不久之后，她便开始在阿尔巴塞特的国际纵队总部担任文书工作，成了那里唯一一名美国女性，薪水为每天6比塞塔。
