Gil,

Thanks for info.

Did Fildel and Che fought side by side ? Please clarify.

Raul Castro introduced Che to Fidel in 1955 in Mexico. Che joined Fidel's guerrilla group and they set sail for Cuba on the GRANMA yacht on November 30, 1956. Che fought with Fidel in the Sierra Maestra mountains, distinguished himself in battle, and was given command of one army while Raul commanded another. In December 1958 in Santa Clara, Che carried out a spectacular attack on a train that was carrying reinforcements for Batista's forces. That event turned the tide and brought about a swift Fidelista victory.
