Colonel Ildefonso Puigdendolas Ponce de Leon (1876, in Girona – 31 October 1936, near Illescas) was a Spanish military officer who served the Republic during the Spanish Civil War. In 1931 he was colonel of Infantry in Seville as inspector of the security corps. In 1934 he was appointed to Malaga. In July 1936 he defeated the rebels forces at Alcala de Henares and Guadalajara.[1] After that, he commanded the Loyalist militia at the Battle of Badajoz in 1936.[2][3] After the battle of Badajoz he escaped to Portugal and returned to the zone controlled by the Spanish Republican Army. During the battle of Seseña Puigdendolas was killed by his own men when trying to prevent desertion.[4]
