‘Que el cielo un soldado en cada hijo te dio …’: Conscription, Recalcitrance and Resistance in Mexico in the 1940sThe research for this article was completed with the support of the Economic and Social Science Research Council (UK), and two grants from the Latin American Centre, St Antonyʼs College, Oxford. Alan Knight supervised the original MPhil. thesis on which this article is based and provided invaluable guidance and criticism. Paul Gillingham was most generous in sharing his own material and insights. My thanks also to Pablo Piccato for additional readings and criticism. Responsibility for any errors is mine. All translations are mine unless otherwise attributed. Archival research took place in the Public Record Office (PRO), London, the Hemeroteca Lerdo de Tejada, Mexico, and the Archivo General de la Nación (AGN) Mexico. Abbreviations for the Ramo de Presidentes are: Lázaro Cárdenas (LC), Manuel Avila Camacho (MAC), Miguel Alemán (MA). Gobernación is abbreviated as GOB. The title quotation is from Mexicoʼs himno nacional, itself the focus of government wartime propaganda efforts. See footnote 75, below.
