In 1936 Rick Blane (Bogart) fought in Spain on the loyalist side against Franco’s fascists. 1:50 mark

Yep. Damned good scene.

The Free French soldier in Sahara (another outstanding Bogart film) also reveals he had been fighting against the Nationalists in Spain. It isn’t a throw away line. It specifically illuminates a point the writers were making about how long the fight was going to be and how important it was.
