Heli Rolando de Tella y Cantos
At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1936 Tella , a Major , commanded a column of General Juan Yagüe's Army of Africa in its drive north from Seville . His outstanding success was the Battle of Mérida , on August 11 , in which his defence of the city enabled the bulk of Yagüe's army to move against Badajoz without being outflanked .
