Biography


Born in Carmona in 1913, he was a member of the CNT. He participated in the Confederal Congress of Zaragoza, in 1936.
After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War he joined the confederal militias and, later, the Spanish Republican Army. In July 1938, in the face of the Ebro Offensive, Mora was appointed commander of the 16th Division of the XII Army Corps. On July 27 the division crossed the Ebro, participating in the fighting against Villalba de los Arcos.
On August 22, a nationalist attack against the 16th Division positions caused their disbandment, including its commander. Manuel Mora was unaccounted for several hours, until he reported to the command post of the 124th Mixed Brigade and communicated (falsely) to Juan Modesto that the nationalist advance had already reached the Ebro river. Mora was instantly dismissed and replaced by Sebastián Zamora Medina.
After the end of the conflict, he went into exile, passing through France and Venezuela - where he arrived in 1946.
