This page-by-page annotation is organized by sections, as delineated by the seven squares (sprockets) which separate each section. The page numbers for this page-by-page annotation are for the original Viking edition (760 pages). Editions by other publishers vary in pagination — the newer Penguin editions are 776 pages; the Bantam edition is 886 pages.
Contributors: Please use a 760-page edition (either the original Viking edition with the orange cover or the Penguin USA edition with the blue cover and rocket diagram — there are plenty on Ebay for around $10) or search the Google edition for the correct page number. Readers: To calculate the Bantam edition use this formula: Bantam page # x 1.165. Before p.50 it's about a page earlier; as you get later in the book, add a page.
Finally, profound thanks to Prof. Don Larsson for providing the foundation for this page-by-page annotation.

These and the following words in Spanish are from "Viva la Quince Brigada" ("Long Live the 15th Brigade"), a song of the American volunteer Lincoln Battalion during the Spanish Civil War.

The words of the last two verses follow:
- En los frentes de Jarama
- Rumbala, rumbala, rum-ba-la (repeat)
- No tenemos ni aviones
- Ni tanques, ni canones, ay Manuela! (repeat)
- Ya salimos de Espana
- Rumbala, rumbala, rum-ba-la (repeat)
- Par luchar en otros frentes
- Ay Manuela, ay Manuela!
English:
- At Jarama we are standing
- Rumbala, rumbala, rum-ba-la
- And we have no planes above us
- Not a tank, nor any canons, ay Manuela!
- We have left the Spanish trenches
- Rumbala, rumbala, rum-ba-la
- To fight the Fascists where we find them
