context_page_description: The 3rd Mixed Brigade, was one of the earliest mixed brigades of the Spanish Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. It was formed in the fall of 1936 with battalions of the Carabineros corps and saw major action right away in the Defence of Madrid. This brigade also included female combatants —such as Sergeant "La Chata"— and would take part in most of the major battles of the Spanish Civil War, except in the Battle of Jarama.
  The brigade's first leader was Carabineros Lieutenant —later Commander— José María Galán, brother of Fermín Galán, leader of the Jaca Uprising, and of Francisco Galán. The mouthpiece of this military unit was the "Tercera Brigada" newspaper.
  The Third Mixed Brigade is mentioned in the lyrics of Si me quieres escribir, one of the most famous songs of the Spanish Republican troops during the Civil War.
  Si me quieres escribir,
  Ya sabes mi paradero:
  Tercera Brigada Mixta,
  Primera línea de fuego.
