The division's 422nd and 423rd Infantry Regiments were encircled and cut off by a junction of enemy forces in the vicinity of Schonberg. They regrouped for a counterattack, but were blocked by the enemy. The two regiments surrendered on 19 December. The Germans gained 6,000 prisoners in one of the largest mass surrenders in American military history. Nearly 50% of the division's strength was brushed aside in the first days of the Battle of the Bulge. *Constituted on paper on 5 May 1942 in the Army of the United States. *Activated on 15 March 1943 with a cadre from the 80th Infantry Division at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. *Moved to Camp Atterbury, Indiana, on 28 March 1944. *Staged at Camp Miles Standish, Massachusetts on 10 October 1944. *Departed Boston Port of Embarkation on 10 November 1944. *Arrived in England, 17 November 1944, and trained for 19 days. *Assigned 29 November 1944 to [[:Category:VIII Corps, United States Army, World War II | VIII Corps]] [[:Category: First Army, United States Army, World War II | First United States Army]] , Twelfth United States Army Group. *Moved to France, 6 December 1944, where the division joined the ongoing Rhineland Campaign. *106th Infantry Division crossed into Belgium on 10 December 1944. *Relieved from assignment to Rhineland Campaign on 16 December, and assigned to Ardennes-Alsace Campaign. *Relieved from assignment to VIII Corps, and assigned on 20 December to [[:Category:XVIII Airborne Corps, United States Army, World War II | XVIII Airborne Corps]], First Army, Twelfth United States Army Group, with attachment to the [[:Category:21st Army Group, British Army, World War II | 21st Army Group (British)]]. *Relieved from attachment to 21st Army Group on 18 January 1945, and returned to XVIII Airborne Corps, First Army, Twelfth United States Army Group. *Ardennes-Alsace Campaign terminated 25 January.

By LIEUT. S. Y. SEYBURN, U. S. A., ADJUTANT TENTH INFANTRY.== At the commencement of the year 1862 the regiment was stationed as follows: :Headquarters and Companies D and K at Fort Laramie, Neb.; A and F at Socorro, N. M.; B, E, G and I in Washington, D. C.; C at Fort Wise, Col.; and H in camp at Pinos Ranch, near Santa Fe, N. M. :In January and early in February, A, F and H concentrated at Fort Craig, N. M., and on the 21st of February were engaged in the battle of Val Verde, near Fort Craig, with the rebel forces, F serving a battery of howitzers. The battalion commander, Capt. W. H. Rossell, 10th Infantry, was taken prisoner, ten enlisted men were killed and sixteen wounded in this engagement. The killed were Privates Collins, Hoggant, Miller, Reichling, Schweer and Washburne of Company A, and Corporals Crotty and Christianson, and Privates Brown and Schweep of Company H. This was the regiment's first sacrifice to the Civil War, made on the dreary plains of New Mexico, nearly two thousand miles from the principal theatre of operations. :Companies B, E, G and I, serving with the Army of the Potomac, left Washington, March, 1862, encamped near Fort Monroe from March 26 till April 4, and at Yorktown, Va., on the 12th. In May B was broken up and the men absorbed by E, G and I. The same course was adopted during the same month with A in New Mexico, the privates being transferred and the non-commissioned officers attached to F and H. During the previous month A, F and H had formed part of Colonel Canby's command, which left camp at Val Verde, N. M., on April 1, 1862, F serving as artillery. They took part in the affairs at Albuquerque on the 8th, and Peralto on the 15th of April. In September and October, 1862, C, F and H, marched to Leavenworth, arriving November 7. On the 24th they were in Washington, and four days later had reported for duty with the 2d Brig., 2d Div., 5th Corps, General Sykes commanding, at Aquia Creek, Va., where E, G and I were also serving. These six companies were engaged in the battle of Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 14 and 15. E, G and I, while forming part of Sykes' Brigade, were engaged in the battle of Chickahominy, with a loss in killed and wounded of thirty enlisted men, and were engaged at Malvern Hill and Bull Run, 2d, with a loss in those two engagements of thirteen enlisted men. They were also engaged in the battle of Antietam, and in the action near Shepardstown, Va., with a loss in these two engagements of fifteen enlisted men. :The year 1863 proved to be a most eventful one for the regiment. At its commencement Headquarters and D and K were at Fort Kearney, having been transferred to that post from Fort Laramie in the preceding June. C, E, F, G, H and I were with the Army of the Potomac. Early in March, 1863, C, E, F and I were broken up. and the enlisted men, numbering 81, were transferred and attached to Companies G and H. Regimental Headquarters and D and K, commanded by Lieut. Bush, left Fort Kearney April 7, and joined the regiment in the field near Chancellorsville on the night of the 30th. When Lieut. Bush and his command, numbering three officers and fifty men, direct from the plains of Nebraska, joined the regiment, its total strength then amounted to but eight officers and 100 enlisted men. :At about noon of the following day, while moving toward Fredericksburg, the enemy made his appearance, and was attacked and driven back by the 2d Brigade, which on that morning led the division. When the enemy was first encountered the 2d Brigade was deployed with the 2d and 6th Infantry on the right of the road, the 7th, 10th, and 11th on the left. The 17th was deployed as skirmishers. The 10th, with some assistance from the 11th, captured in this advance 27 Of the enemy, including one officer. Lieut. Bush commanded the regiment in this battle, and in his report recommends Sergeant-Major William Stanley for promotion to a second-lieutenancy for gallant conduct in the field. He also mentions national color bearer, Lance Sergeant J. A. Crotty for soldierly conduct and for capturing one of the enemy; and mentions Sergeant Michael Finaughty regimental color bearer, for his coolness under fire. :The brigade commander in his report of the battle mentions Lieutenants Bush, Sellers, Kellogg and Boyce, 10th Infantry. Lieut. Sellers was at this time A.A.A.G. of the 2d Brigade, Lieut. Kellogg, A.D.C., and Lieut. Boyce, A.A.D.C. to the brigade commander. Lieut. Hampson is also mentioned by the regimental commander for having distinguished himself in this action. The loss of the regiment in this engagement was 12 enlisted men wounded. On the 6th of May the regiment recrossed the Rappahannock and encamped near Falmouth, Va. In this month K was broken up and its 25 enlisted men were transferred and attached to D. The regiment, still forming a part of the 2d Brig., 2d Div., 5th Corps, left camp near Falmouth, Va., June 4, reached the vicinity of Gettysburg July 2d, and fought the enemy the same day, losing one officer Lieut. W. J. Fisher and 16 enlisted men killed; five officers and 27 men wounded, and three men missing. Captain William Clinton commanded the regiment at this time. The regiment lay in position, supporting a battery during the night of the 2d, and took part in the fighting on the A 4th and 5th. The loss inflicted in these engagements upon what remained of the regiment at this time was fearful. Sixty per cent. of the officers, and over fifty-four per cent. of the enlisted men engaged were killed or wounded. The regiment occupied at one time an exposed position, with a greatly superior force in front and on both flanks. A terrific fire was directed against it by the enemy, and the roar of musketry was so great that the commands given it to fall back were not heard. Fortunately another portion of the Corps came to the rescue, and compelled the enemy to retreat. The wounded officers were Captains Clinton and Bush, and Lieuts. Welles. Boyce and Hamilton. Lieut. Boyce died shortly after from wounds received in this battle. :On the 8th of July the regiment was encamped near Middleton, Md. It crossed the South Mountain on the 9th, and arrived in camp near Williamsport on the 14th. On the 15th it crossed the Potomac at Berlin, and on the night of the 23d formed a part of the line of battle at Manassas. :The losses of the regiment had been so heavy, and it had become so reduced in point of numbers, that it had become necessary for the authorities to withdraw it from the field and send it North for recuperation. On the 17th of August what remained of it left Alexandria by steamer, arriving in New York City on the 20th, where it remained until the 14th of September, when it was transferred to Fort Lafayette, N. Y. H. At the end of the year all that was left of t he regiment consisted of the band and Company D, with a total strength, present and absent, of 128. :Capt. William G. Jones, 10th Infantry, while absent commanding, as colonel, the 36th Ohio Volunteers, was killed in the battle of Chickamauga, Ga., Sept. 19, 1863. :The regiment left Fort Lafayette on the 23d of April, 1864, and joined the 1st Brig., 1st Div., 9th Corps, near Bealton Station, Va., on the 29th of the same month. On the 6th of May it took part in the battle of the Wilderness, with a loss of eight enlisted men killed, officer Major Hayman and 48 enlisted men wounded, and five men missing. On the 12th of May the regiment was engaged in the battle of Spottsylania C. H., Va., losing but two men wounded. :From this time on until the battle of North Anna River, May 24, there was a total loss in killed, wounded and missing of 17 men. Casualties frequently occurred while employed in reconnoissances, picket duty and skirmishing. While making a reconnoissance near Spottsylvania C. H. on the 16th, one man was killed; and two days later, while on the same duty, two men were killed and one officer Lieut. Reed and one man were wounded. On the 3d of June the regiment was engaged in the battle of Cold Harbor, losing one officer Lieut. Stanley, adjutant and one man wounded. The regiment was transfered [sic] June 11 to the 1st Brig., 2d Div., 5th Corps, and took part in the battle of Petersburg, June 18, losing in killed and wounded three men. One man was killed on the 19th, and another on the 21st. On this date also Lieut. Skinner was wounded, from the effects of which he .died June 26. :The regiment also took part in the assault following the explosion of the mine at Petersburg, July 30. It was also engaged in the battle of Weldon Railroad, August 18, 19 and 21, 1864, losing six men killed, one officer Captain R. H. Hall and nine men wounded, and one officer Lieut. J. C. White and sixteen men missing. The movement of the regiment to its position of the first day at Weldon Railroad began at daylight on the 18th. The march was a most fatiguing one, the heat intense. Lieutenant Luning, commanding, was prostrated about noon from its effects, and the command then devolved upon 2d Lieut. T. H. French. Fully one-third of the men had fallen out of ranks before this time from sheer exhaustion, although they bravely endeavored to keep up. In the first advance, which was made through a dense wood east of the railroad, and half a mile beyond, the regiment was engaged, outflanked, and subjected to a heavy cross-fire, which caused it to fall back to a position in the rear of the woods. Captain Hall joined the regiment on the morning of the 19th. At about 3 o'clock on the afternoon of that day the enemy again attacked the line of which the regiment formed a part, again outflanked it, and caused it to withdraw. It subsequently regained its first line after a gallant charge against the enemy. Captain R. H. Hall, commanding the regiment, was hit by a musket ball in the head a few hours after taking command. :On the 20th there was no fighting for the regiment, but on the 21st it occupied a position greatly exposed to an artillery cross-fire. The fire was so well directed that our men had to seek safety on the outside of their breastworks. 1st. Sergeant Pealock received special mention for his gallant conduct, coolness and bravery, during these engagements of the 18th, 19th and 21st of August. :On the 1st of October the regiment, still forming a part of the 1st Brig., 2d Div., 5th Corps, was engaged in battle on the Squirrel Level Road, Va., losing three men, killed, and one officer Lieut. T. H. French and five men wounded, and 18 men missing. The regiment was commanded in this battle by 2d Lieut. Theodore Schwan, who, in his report, mentions Lieutenants French and Hunter as having behaved with gallantry seldom surpassed. 1st Sergeant Pealock is again mentioned for coolness and bravery. Corporal H. Marshall, 1st Sergeant Marpool, and Privates Stephens, Steward, Landan and Mahony are also noticed for noticeable coolness under fire. :On the 12th of October the regiment was detailed as provost guard at Headquarters 2d Div., 5th Corps, and on the 25th was ordered to Fort Hamilton, N. Y. H., where it arrived on the 29th. It was transferred to Fort Columbus, N. Y. H., November 3d and to Fort Porter, Buffalo, N. Y., December 2d, where it was stationed at the end of the year. It was much depleted in numbers, mustering, present and absent, but 189, a large portion of the absent sick being permanently disabled. :In March, 1865, 245 recruits were sent to the regiment, certain companies were reorganized, and were all filled to the maximum strength. In April 170 recruits were received and Company G was reorganized. :The regiment was again ordered into the field in April, 1865, and reached Headquarters Army of the Potomac April 23d, at Burksville, Va. .It marched with that army, via Richmond, May 6th, and encamped at Arlington Heights May 12th.

{{Profile-box|For profiles of men of this unit, see [[:Category:12th York Rangers|the category]]}} [[Category:12th York Rangers]] ==Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) RCAC== '''Lineage''' The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) RCAC trace their direct origins to Robert Rogers and his Rangers in 1756 during the French and Indian Wars. Disbanded after seven years of hard service, Rogers reformed the Rangers in 1775 and they soon were carried on the British Army list as the Queen's Rangers, First American Regiment. The Rangers were particularly distinguished under John Graves Simcoe in 1777 at the Battle of Brandywine and were shipped to New Brunswick at the end of the war in 1783. When Simcoe was appointed to be the first Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, he made a stop in New Brunswick and raised the Queen's Rangers again and brought them with him in 1793. The Rangers were stood down again in 1802 and became the York Militia. They became active again during the War of 1812 and again during the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837-38. The York County Militia was reconstituted again on 14 September 1866 as the '''12th "York Battalion of Infantry"'''. It was redesignated as the 12th Battalion of Infantry or "York Rangers" on 10 May 1872, as the 12th Regiment "York Rangers" on 8 May 1900 and, following the Great War, as The York Rangers on 1 May 1920. On 15 December 1936, it was amalgamated with The Queen's Rangers, 1st American Regiment and redesignated The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) (MG). It was redesignated as the 2nd (Reserve) Battalion, The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) on 5 March 1942, as The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) (Reserve) on 15 September 1944, as The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) on 30 November 1945, as the 25th Armoured Regiment (Queen's York Rangers), RCAC on 19 June 1947, The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) (25th Armoured Regiment) on 4 February 1949, The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) (RCAC) on 19 May 1958, The Queen's York Rangers (RCAC) on 3 September 1985 and The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) (RCAC) on 12 November 2004. The Queen's Rangers, 1st American Regiment was formed in Toronto, Ontario on 15 January 1921 as The West Toronto Regiment. On 1 August 1925, it was amalgamated with the 2nd Battalion (35th Battalion, CEF), The York Rangers and redesignated The Queen's Rangers. It was redesignated The Queen's Rangers, 1st American Regiment on 1 December 1927. On 15 December 1936, it was amalgamated with The York Rangers

[[Category:14th Armored Division, United States Army, World War II]] The 14th Armored Division was constituted and added to the roll of the US Army on 28 August 1942; it was activated on 15 November in a ceremony at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. It was organized initially as a heavy division with two armored regiments (the 47th and 48th) and one armored infantry regiment, the 62nd Infantry Regiment. It was reorganized from a heavy division to a light division on 20 September 1943. The reorganization saw the loss of two tank battalions from the Armored regiments, one battalion each. The 1st Battalion of the 47th Armor was redesignated as the 786th Tank Battalion and the 3rd Battalion of the 48th Armor was redesignated as the 716th Tank Battalion. The division departed Camp Chaffee in November to participate in the 2nd Army maneuvers in Tennessee from 17 November 1943 until 10 January 1944. At the conclusion of the exercise, the division was assigned to Camp Campbell, Kentucky. The division remained at Camp Campbell until late September when it was alerted for movement to the ETO (European Theater of Operations) via Camp Shanks, New York where it went for final processing. Units departed Camp Campbell on 1 October and completed their arrival at Camp Shanks on the 6th of that month. After completing their processing, the division boarded four transport ships for deployment on 13 October 1944. The 14th Armored was part of the Seventh Army, commanded by Lt. Gen. Alexander M. Patch. The 14th Armored Division was constituted and added to the roll of the US Army on 28 August 1942. The 14th Armored Division landed at Marseille in southern France, on 29 October 1944. Within two weeks some of its elements were in combat, maintaining defensive positions along the Franco-Italian frontier. The division was assigned to the US 6th Army Group on 1 November. On 10 November, the division was assigned to the US Seventh Army. On 12 November the Combat Command Reserve (CCR) was detached and ordered to the Maritime Alps by 6th Army Group to relieve units in defensive positions there. On 15 November, Combat Command A moved north from the area of Marseille to Epinal to take part in the VI Corps drive through the Vosges Mountains, and the division was on the Alsatian Plain in early December. On 17 December the division attacked across the Lauter River into Germany itself. and fought its way into a heavily defended portion of the German Westwall. Due to the growing crisis in the Ardennes, General Eisenhower, the supreme commander, ordered the Seventh Army to stop its attack and withdraw from the Westwall, where its units assumed positions south of the Lauter River. The order was poorly timed as elements of the 14th Armored Division had penetrated deep into the German defenses, and were poised to break out into the enemy's rear. In January 1945, the 14th Armored fended off the last organized German offensive in the West. It was a fierce defensive battle, which would make the Province of Alsace, France the scene of some of the bloodiest combat in the European Theatre. Following the Battle of Nuremberg, the division raced to the Danube and liberated 130,000 Allied prisoners liberated from Stalag VII-A, the largest prisoner of war camp in Germany. During the divisions' advance into southern Germany the 14th liberated several sub-camps of the Dachau concentration camp. The 14th Armored Division was inactivated on 16 September 1945 at Camp Patrick Henry, Virginia. The 14th Armored Division was assigned to: * [[:Category: Seventh Army, United States Army, World War II | Seventh Army]] Primary subordinate units were: *Division HHC (Headquarters and Headquarters Company) *CCA *CCB *47th Armored Regiment *48th Armored Regiment *62nd Armored Infantry Regiment[6] *[[:Category: 125th Armored Engineer Battalion, United States Army, World War II|125th Armored Engineer Battalion]] *154th Armored Signal Company *94th Cavalry Recon Squadron *Service Company *[[:Category: 14th Armored Division Artillery, United States Army, World War II | HHB Division Artillery]] *Division Trains *HHC *84th Armored Medical Battalion *136th Armored Maintenance Battalion *14th Quartermaster Battalion A division can also have separate battalions/companies that fall directly under the division and not under a regiment, for instance the HQ element for the general and his staff, a tank, artillery, engineer, etc unit.

[[Category: 1944 Westkapelle Bombing, Netherlands, World War II]] In September 1944 the allied command decided to flood the Island of Walcheren, so as to immobilize the German occupying forces and to render useless inland fortifications, making it easier for the Allied forces to invade the island. Before bombing the dikes, the citizens were warned by spreading leaflets from the air. Many of these leaflets did not land in the right places. Many of the citizens were not able to evacuate anyway. On 3 October 1944 many bombs were dropped on the dikes near Westkapelle and Flushing. At Westkapelle many bombs ended up in the village, killing numerous inhabitants. The biggest disaster occured at windmill "de Roos" the exit of a shelter beneath the mill was blocked by debris, the people in the shelter were drowned by the subsequent flooding. When it became clear the initial flooding of Walcheren did not go fast enough later in October the dikes near Ritthem and Veere were also bombed, completing the inundation. One month later the Allied forced landed near Westkapelle and Flushing, liberating the last German fortress at the Scheldt river, opening up the port of Antwerp. The initial bombing of Westkapelle, was at the expense of the lives of 158 civilians, men, women and children. {{Image|file=Abrahamse-84-2.jpg |size=600px |caption=Erekruis gevallenen bombardement Westkapelle 03-10-1944 }}

[[Category:1st Armored Division, United States Army, World War II]] 1AD History
The 1st Armored Division's commitment to the civic and military values for which "Old Ironsides" has been renowned for half a century (patriotism, discipline, readiness, self-sacrifice, combined arms cooperation, shock action, decisiveness, and generosity in victory) remains relentlessly strong today. The distinctive insignia of the 1st Armored Division is drawn in bold colors characteristic of the division. The insignia is designed from the triangular coat-of-arms of the American World War II Tank Corps. The yellow, blue, and red colors of the shoulder sleeve insignia represent the combined arms nature of the armored division (Armor, Infantry, and Artillery). Superimposed on the triangle is the insignia of the former Seventh Cavalry Brigade (Mechanized), the predecessors of the Old Ironsides. The tank track represents mobility and armor protection, the gun denotes firepower, and the chain of lightening symbolizes speed and shock action. Mobility, firepower, and shock action are the basic attributes of Armor. The Arabic numeral in the apex of the triangle indicates the First Armor Division. The nickname of the division, officially sanctioned by the Department of the Army is emblazoned under the triangle and is an integral part of the insignia. OLD IRONSIDES DESIGNATION The 1st Armored Division was activated at Fort Knox on July 15, 1940. Its first commander was Major General Bruce R. Magruder from July 1940 to March 1942. In 1941 General George S. Patton Jr. had just named his 2nd Armored Division "Hell on Wheels" and everyone thought that the 1st Armored Division needed a name too. Major General Bruce Magruder announced a contest to find a suitable name for his Division. Approximately 200 names were submitted including "Fire and Brimstone" and "Kentucky Wonders." The General took them home to study over the weekend but failed to find any that appealed to him. While mulling the matter over, he happened to glance at a painting of the U.S.S. Constitution that he had bought during a drive for funds for the preservation of that famous fighting ship. From the painting of the U.S.S. Constitution USS Constitution he noted its nickname, "Old Ironsides". Impressed with the parallel between the early development of the tank and the Navy's "Old Ironsides" spirit of daring and durability he decided the 1st Armored Division should also be named "Old Ironsides." Thus a famous warship of the US Navy and the famous 1st Armored Division of the US Army are historically and appropriately welded by name "Old Ironsides." That ended the search for a name. The 1st Armored Division became "Old Ironsides" that same day and forty months of fighting later testified that its name was well chosen. This was a fighting Division. NORTH AFRICA As part of Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French Northwest Africa, November 8, 1942. In doing so, Old Ironsides became the first American Armored Division to see combat. Although encountering unexpectedly heavy Vichy-French opposition, the Allied invasion force suppressed all resistance in the beachhead within three days. The Division then advanced toward Tunisia where it clashed with Axis forces and learned many hard lessons in armored warfare. Harsh conditions and primitive roads spoiled an early opportunity to capture Tunisia and cut off Rommel's supply lines. January 1943 found the Division under control of the II Corps. Old Ironsides received the mission of defending central Tunisia against an Axis counterattack. A month later, the 1st Armored Division collided with a superior German armored force at Kasserine Pass. Sustaining heavy personnel and equipment losses, Old Ironsides withdrew, battered but wiser. Outrunning his supply lines and facing stiffening Allied resistance, Rommel's advance ground to a halt. Regardless, three more months of fierce fighting followed before the Allies could finally claim victory in North Africa. On 25 March 1944, Private Nicholas Minue, Company A, 6th Armored Infantry, 1st Armored Division, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for gallantry and intrepidity at the loss of his life above and beyond the call of duty in action with the enemy on 28 April 1943 in the vicinity of MedjezelBab, Tunisia. ITALY The fall of Sicily in the summer of 1943 cleared the way for an Allied Invasion of the Italian mainland. As part of General Mark Clark's Fifth Army, the 1st Armored Division crushed enemy resistance in an assault landing at Salerno on September 9, and led the drive to Naples. The city fell on October 1, and the Allies pressed onto the Volturno River. In November, the 1st Armored Division attacked the infamous Winter Line. Although breaching the line, the Allied advance came to a halt in the mountainous country near Cassino. To break the stalemate, the Allies made an amphibious assault well behind enemy lines at Anzio on January 23, 1944. Beating back repeated German counterattacks, the 1st Armored Division led the Allied breakout from the beachead on May 23, and spearheaded the drive to Rome, liberating the city on June 4. The 1st Armored Division continued its pursuit of the enemy to the North Apennies where the Germans made their last stand. Rugged mountains and winter weather now stood between the Allies and the open land of the Po Valley. The 1st Armored Division broke into the valley in April 1945 and on May 2, 1945, German forces in Italy surrendered. In June 1945 the 1st Armored Division was transferred to Germany to serve as part of the Allied occupation forces. Old Ironsides returned to the United States in April 1946 and was inactivated at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. Several of the Division's Units, however, remained in Germany as part of the U.S. Constabulary. ===Sources=== https://www.bliss.army.mil/1AD/

[[Category:1st Aviation Brigade, United States Army, Vietnam War]] Created in 1965 and activated in April 1965 it was originally designated as the USA Aviation Brigade (Provisional) and initially oversaw the 13th, 14th, 52nd and 145th Aviation Battalions. It provided and maintained tactical and administrative control over divisional and non-divisional aviation assets. In August 1965 the USA Aviation Brigade (Provisional) was redesignated the 12th Aviation Group which then, in March 1966, became the basis for the formation of the 1st Aviation Brigade. At its peak the 1st Aviation Brigade oversaw 4,000 rotary and fixed wing aircraft and 24,000 soldiers. It was responsible for 40% of the Army’s helicopter assets and 100% of its fixed wing assets. In 1969, the 1st Aviation Brigade transported more than 6.5 million troops in over 4 million sorties, accumulating 1.5 million hours of flying time. The 1st Aviation Brigade was instrumental in developing and perfecting the art of helicopter warfare. The following were assigned to the 1st Aviation Brigade during all or part of course of the conflict: :11th Aviation Group (1971-1973) ::Battalions: :::212th Combat Aviation Battalion :::223rd Combat Aviation Battalion :12th Aviation Group ::Battalions: :::3/17th Air Cavalry :::11th Combat Aviation Battalion :::[[:Category: 145th Combat Aviation Battalion, United States Army, Vietnam War|145th Combat Aviation Battalion]] :::210th Combat Aviation Battalion :::222nd Combat Aviation Battalion :::269th Combat Aviation Battalion :::308th (1966) Combat Aviation Battalion :16th Aviation Group (1967-1968) ::Battalions: :::14th Combat Aviation Battalion :::212th Combat Aviation Battalion :17th Aviation Group ::Battalions: :::7/17th Air Cavalry :::10th Combat Aviation Battalion :::52nd Combat Aviation Battalion :::223rd Combat Aviation Battalion :::268th Combat Aviation Battalion :34th Aviation Group (1971-1972) ::34th General Support Group (Aircraft Maintenance and Supply) stationed at Vung Tau :101st Aviation Group :160th Aviation Group :164th Aviation Group ::Battalions: :::7/1st Air Cavalry :::13th Combat Aviation Battalion :::214th Combat Aviation Battalion :::307th Combat Aviation Battalion :165th Aviation Group ::125th Bn ::312th - 366th ASD’

The '''Geodetic Survey Squadron''' ''(GSSq)'' was formed on 1 July, 1959 at Orlando AFB, Florida, as part of the '''Air Photographic and Charting Service''' ''(APCS)'' and was designated the '''1381st Geodetic Survey Squadron (Missile)''' ''(1381st GSSq)''. The formation of this dedicated Air Force survey unit was in direct response to survey requirements for the rapidly developing Intercontinental Ballistic Missile ''(ICBM)'' systems. With a complement of 13 officers, 40 enlisted, and 7 civilians, the unit was augmented by field survey and data reduction elements of the '''United States Coast and Geodetic Survey''' ''(USC&GS)'', United States Army '''Corps of Engineers''', and the '''Army Map Service''' ''(AMS)''. The 1381st Geodetic Survey Squadron moved to Francis E. Warren AFB, Wyoming in 1965 under the '''Military Airlift Command''''s ''(MAC)'' '''1370th Photomapping Wing''' ''(1370th PMW)''. The squadron reached its peak in manpower, with 69 officers, 361 enlisted, and 32 civilians, manning the squadron and its detachments at Vandenberg, Ellsworth, Malmstrom, Grand Forks, and Whiteman Air Force Bases. The organization was redesignated the '''1st Geodetic Survey Squadron''' ''(1st GSSq)'', under the '''Aerospace Cartographic and Geodetic Service''' ''(ACGS)'', in the Fall of 1968. '''GENERAL ORDER NUMBER 3, 30 JUNE 1972, DEFENSE MAPPING AGENCY ORGANIZATION''' 1. In accordance with DoD Directive 5105.40, the following organizations are established as components of the Defense Mapping Agency effective 1 July 1972. The attached enclosure depicts the DMA organization. The organization continued until 1 August 1976, when a "new" '''Geodetic Survey Squadron''' was formed, composed of military and civilian from the old unit, and civilians from the '''Defense Mapping Agency Topographic Center''' ''(DMATC)'', under the Topographic Center. Included were detachments at Vandenberg, Patrick, and Holloman Air Force Bases, and White Sands Missile Range (WSMR).

The 1st Infantry Division is a combined arms division of the United States Army, and is the oldest continuously serving division in the Regular Army. It has seen continuous service since its organization in 1917 during World War I. It was officially nicknamed "The Big Red One" (abbreviated "BRO") after its shoulder patch and is also nicknamed "The Fighting First." The division has also received troop monikers of "The Big Dead One" and "The Bloody First" as puns on the respective officially sanctioned nicknames. It is currently based at Fort Riley, Kansas.[[Wikipedia:1st Infantry Division (United States)|1st Infantry Division Wikipedia article]]

[[Category:1st Photographic Group, United States Army Air Forces, World War II]] Established in mid-1941 as a GHQ Air Force aerial mapping and reconnaissance group based at Bolling Field. Mission was to conduct long-range photo reconnaissance after the pattern developed by the British. Each of the four initial assigned squadrons of the group (1st, 2d, 3d, 4th) was assigned to one of the four continental air forces (1st, 2d, 3d, 4th). The unit had almost no opportunity for training because each of its squadrons was busily engaged in carrying out mapping missions for hemisphere defense. The Photographic Squadrons were largely equipped with short-range second-line aircraft from the 1930s. Not until the end of 1942 were the first modern aircraft, B-25 (F-10) Mitchells, were assigned to observation groups Long-range reconnaissance squadrons were established as part of combat bombardment groups in the Continental United States as well as the Caribbean and in Hawaii. These squadrons were associated with the 1st Photographic Group for crew training in aerial photography and reconnaissance. These bomber reconnaissance squadrons were designed to provide a long-range reconnaissance capability with each group. However, with the entry of the United States into World War II after the Pearl Harbor Attack, these units could no longer serve as both reconnaissance training and photo-mapping squadrons. The bombers were needed for combat bombing missions more than for reconnaissance. In April 1942 these squadrons were absorbed by those groups and were redesignated as bombardment squadrons. During World War II, the group charted and mapped areas of the United States and sent detachments to perform similar functions in Alaska, Canada, Africa (including Operation Rusty), the Middle East, India, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Kurils.

[[Category: 1st Regiment, Missouri Volunteers, Second Seminole War]] The 1st Regiment, Missouri Volunteer was a mounted infantry regiment raised by Missouri Militia Major General Richard Gentry, including two companies of Delaware and Osage native Americans. The regiment was requisitioned by the Secretary of War to Missouri Governor Boggs. The unit was placed under the command of Major General Richard Gentry, who also commanded the Missouri volunteers during the Black Hawk War. The regiment left St. Louis, Missouri on 15 Oct 1837, sailed down the Mississippi to New Orleans, and crossed the Gulf of Mexico to Tampa Bay, Florida Territory. The regiment was placed under the command of Colonel [[Taylor-223|Zachary Taylor]] when they arrived in the Florida Territory and Richard Gentry was commissioned as a colonel. The regiment played a central role in the Battle of Lake Okeechobee on Christmas Day, 1837. Taylor ordered the regiment to make an initial frontal assault against the entrenched Seminoles. Colonel Gentry’s suggested that they should attack the enemy’s flanks, but Taylor disregarded the idea and ordered the frontal assault. Gentry took his place in the front line with his son Sergeant Major [[Gentry-4357|Richard Harrison Gentry]] and led his men into battle. When the Seminoles engaged, Colonel Gentry was killed in the first volley and the regiment did not retreat at first contact to re-form behind the lines of the regular army. The regiment returned to Missouri in 1838 and was disbanded. Controversy followed when Colonel Jackson's after action report of the Battle of Okeechobee went public. It was critical of the Missouri Volunteers, and of volunteer citizen soldiers in general. The Missouri Legislature formed an special committee to investigate the events in Florida. The 1st Regiment was assigned to: [[Taylor-223|Zachary Taylor]] Primary subordinate units were: Six companies, two battalions [https://www.jstor.org/stable/30140548 Missouri Volunteers at the Battle of Okeechobee: Christmas Day 1837]

The men of these regiments produced wood that was then transported to American forces throughout Europe. The wood was used for building roads and railroads, constructing barracks, erecting telephone poles, supporting trenches, and various other building and construction projects. The already highly experienced men making up the regiments were able to streamline the lumber manufacturing process almost immediately. The troops of the 10th and 20th Engineers, along with several other engineering regiments and battalions, were eventually combined in October of 1918 into the 20th Engineers (Forestry), the largest regiment in the entire American Army. The 20th would be referred to as “not a regiment, except in name, but a great manufacturing establishment.”

[[Category:303rd Ammunition Train, United States Army, World War I]] '''Ammunition Train'''- The train including all vehicles , animals , and personnel employed in transporting the divisional artillery and infantry ammunition reserve , or in bringing up the same from the refilling point to the combat trains of organizations.
A dictionary of military terms by Farrow, Edward S. (Edward Samuel) published 1918, by Thomas Y. Crowell Company; digitized Dec 2, 2005; (https://books.google.com/books/about/A_Dictionary_of_Military_Terms.html?id=l6KS-r3yP3AC)." '''TRANSFER TO MEUSE-ARGONNE FRONT''' This was to be the last offensive action of the division because on the same day orders were received from the Corps relieving the division the following night. The 89th Division was to extend eastward to relieve the 155th Brigade, the 90th was to extend west-ward and relieve the 156th Brigade, while our own 153rd Artillery Brigade and 303rd Ammunition Train were to rejoin the division. The rumor spread fast outside of division headquarters that we were going out of the line for a "rest," but headquarters was not laboring under any such delusion. They knew we were headed for the Argonne and without delay, for somebody higher up had ordered the division to do an almost impossible feat of marching. The attention of Corps Headquarters was called to the fact that the foot troops in the front line were called upon to make a front line relief and march thirty-five kilometers into the Foret de la Reine between dark and six in the morning, only to follow this up at once by two more long night marches. Corps could not change the orders, so the division set out, as one staff officer said, "to do the impossible and damn near succeeded." The withdrawal began on the night of the 3rd with the relief of machine gun units, the replacement of infantry reserve units. ::See F. O. No. 17, P. C. 78th Division, October 3, 1918."

[[Category:35th Simcoe Foresters]] The Grey and Simcoe Foresters were formed from the 1936 amalgamation of the 31st Grey Regiment and the 35th Simcoe Foresters both originally gazetted on September 14, 1866. Following the 1837 Rebellion, the Government of Upper Canada retained in January 1838 one troop of cavalry and three militia battalions on active service along the Niagara River and in Toronto. One of these battalions was a composite made up of soldiers from the two Simcoe County battalions of that era. This composite battalion, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Carthew, was known as the 1st Simcoe Incorporated Militia (Royal Foresters). This is the earliest known reference to the Simcoe County militia as "Foresters." In 1795, the Simcoe District (then covering much of what is now Grey and Dufferin Counties) was created by Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe in order to organize the area for military purposes. The District was sparsely populated for many years but by the outbreak of the War of 1812, there were enough men to provide at least a dozen to the York Militia and these fought at Queenston Heights. In 1814 other men went from North Simcoe with the Newfoundland Fencibles in time to save Michilimacinac and capture the two American schooners attacking that place and thus restored British Naval supremacy on the Upper Great Lakes. Several of them then went with Captain Bulger when he captured the American post at Prairie du Chien in Wisconsin. At the end of the War, the militia units were all disbanded and the Sedentary Militia resumed its normal routine. The Mackenzie Rebellion in 1837 resulted in the formation of 2 loyal provisional battalions. These marched south as soon as the news of the rebellion was known and occupied the epicentre of the rebels in South Simcoe and North York Counties. Many of these men remained on duty in an incorporated battalion established in Toronto over the winter. This was known as the “Royal Foresters” and served in both Toronto and along the Niagara Frontier. When it was broken up, the most efficient companies were retained on active service in Penetanguishene until 1842 when the men were finally released. It was not until late 1855, that the new Militia Act finally established an Active Militia, organized as local companies. The first of these in our area was the Barrie Rifle Company, authorized in December 1855. Soon others sprang up across both Grey and Simcoe Counties from Owen Sound and Leith to Cookstown and Bradford. The first test came in December 1865 when the militia was called out as a result of the St Alban’s raid. The Barrie Rifle Company became part of the 2nd Administrative Battalion and served on the Niagara Frontier for about 2 months. In March 1866, more of the militia was called out to defend against the Fenians. Some of the Grey County Companies went to Sarnia while some of the Simcoe County Companies once again went to the Niagara Frontier. June 1866 saw the most significant call-up. The Grey County companies had never been sent home and therefore remained at Sarnia except for the Leith Company which eventually ended up at Cobourg. The Simcoe County Companies returned to Niagara where they remained on active service for nearly 2 months. On 14 September 1866, the government finally authorized the formation of battalions. The companies in Grey County were organized into the 31st Grey Battalion of Infantry while those in Simcoe were formed into the 35th Simcoe Battalion of Infantry (soon to be re-named the Simcoe Foresters). The North West territories saw the next two call-ups. In 1870 a number of local men volunteered to go with Colonel Wolseley to the Red River. Sam Steele is the best known but Captain Daniel Hunter McMillan also went and eventually became Lieutenant Governor (and was knighted) of Manitoba. In 1885, the Headquarters and 4 companies of the Simcoe Foresters combined with 4 companies of the 12th York Battalion to form the York and Simcoe Provisional Battalion and served in Saskatchewan during the “North West Rebellion”. ==Sources== *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grey_and_Simcoe_Foresters Wikipedia - The Grey and Simcoe Foresters] *[http://www.army-armee.forces.gc.ca/en/grey-simcoe-foresters/history.page The Grey and Simcoe Foresters - History (LAC-BAC)]

[[Category: 45th Transportation Battalion, United States Army, Vietnam War]] October 1961, President Kennedy sent a letter to President Diem pledging "the United States is determined to help Vietnam preserve its independence..." The United States then sent additional military advisors as well as the first American helicopter units to help transport and assist South Vietnamese troops. The 45th Transportation Battalion was deployed to provide command, control, staff planning and administration supervision over the CH21 light helicopter companies and one aviation company made up of U-1A Otter aircraft sent to Vietnam. It also oversaw maintenance, logistical and medical services for its assigned and attached units. In December 1961 the USS Core, arrived in Saigon carrying the first American helicopter units consisting of 33 CH-21 Shawnee helicopters (nicknamed the "Flying Bannana") and 400 air and ground crewmen to operate and maintain them. The first two of the 45th Transportation Battalion's Companies, the 8th Transportation Company and the 57th Transportation Company, arrived in December 1961. The rest of the Battalion's Companies arrived in Vietnam from January 1962 through September 1962. With the escalation of the conflict in Vietnam came the arrival of more and more helicopter and aviation companies. Command quickly began to realize the need for a better command structure among its helicopter and aviation companies and battalions. In 1963 the 45th Transportation Battalion was reorganized and nearly all of its companies were redesignated by September 24, 1963. By 1965 the existing Combat Aviation Battalions were consolidated under the command of the newly activated USA Aviation Brigade (Provisional), which in March 1966 became the 1st Aviation Brigade. The following are the original companies that made up the 45th Transportation Battalion and their new designations: :8th Transportation Company (Light Helicopter) December 1961 – June 1963 - redesignated the 117th Aviation Company "Warlords" (fka "The Beach Bums") :18th Aviation Company (Fixed Wing Light Transport) July 1962 - September 1963 - Transferred to the 145th Combat Aviation Battalion :33rd Transportation Company (Light Helicopter) September 1962 – June 1963 - redesignated the 118th Aviation Company "Thunderbirds" :57th Transportation Company (Light Helicopter) December 1961 – June 1963 - redesignated the 120th Aviation Company "Deans" "Razorbacks" :81st Transportation Company (Light Helicopter) September 1962 – June 1963 - redesignated the 119th Aviation Company "Alligators" "Crocodiles" :93rd Transportation Company (Light Helicopter) January 1962 – June 1963 - redesignated the 121st Aviation Company "Soc Trang Tigers"

[[Category:60th Regiment of Foot]] === 60th (Royal American) Regiment of Foot === [https://archive.org/details/cu31924030726735 A Brief History of the Unit] at archive.org. [https://archive.org/details/aregimentalchro00wallgoog A regimental chronicle and list of officers of the 60th, or the King's Royal Rifle Corps, formerly the 62nd, or the Royal American Regiment of Foot] The unit was originally raised in the American colonies in 1756 as the 62nd (Royal American) Regiment to defend the thirteen colonies against attack by the French and their Native American allies. After Braddock's defeat in 1755, royal approval for a new regiment, as well as funds, were granted by parliament just before Christmas 1755 – hence the regiment's traditional birthday of Christmas Day. However parliamentary delays meant it was 4 March 1756 before a special act of parliament created four battalions of 1,000 men each to include foreigners for service in the Americas. Although raised as an "American" Regiment the officers were recruited from Europe – not from the American colonies – and consisted of English, Scots, Irish, Dutch, Swiss and Germans. It was the first time foreign officers were commissioned as British Army officers. The total regiment consisted of 101 officers, 240 non-commissioned officers and 4,160 enlisted men. The battalions were raised on Governors Island, New York. The regiment was renumbered the 60th (Royal American) Regiment in February 1757 when the 50th (Shirley's) and 51st (Pepperel's) foot regiments were removed from the British Army roll after their surrender at Fort Oswego. ===Napoleonic Wars=== During the Napoleonic Wars the regiment saw action in the Peninsular War. The first four battalions had been raised as regular line battalions, but in 1797 a 5th battalion had been raised at Cowes on the Isle of Wight and equipped entirely with the Baker rifle, and wore green jackets with red facings.[5] The mixing of rifle troops and muskets proved so effective that eventually line battalion light companies were replaced with rifle companies. The line battalions found themselves in several different theatres, including the West Indies. The rifle battalion was soon joined by a second, and these found themselves in the Peninsula with Wellington's army, serving along with the 95th Rifles, and the King's German Legion rifle units. A 7th battalion was eventually raised as a rifle battalion specifically for service in the [[:Category: War of 1812|American War of 1812]]. ===1st Battalion 1810-1819=== The [[Space:60th_Regiment_of_Foot_1st_Battalion|1st Battalion]] was transferred from Jamaica in April 1810 to Cowes on the Isle of Wight, where it was refilled with a conscription of foreign troops. Thereafter the 1st Battalion was transferred to the Cape Colony in September 1811 where they fought in the the 4th Xhosa War until 1812. Thereafter they protected the boundaries of the Cape Colony until they were disbanded in 1819. ===Reorganisation=== After the Napoleonic Wars the regiment received a new title: first, in 1815, its name was changed to [[:Category: Duke of York's Own Rifle Corps|Duke of York's Own Rifle Corps]] and then, in 1830, to the [[:Category: King's Royal Rifle Corps|King's Royal Rifle Corps]] (KRRC). This renaming probably went unnoticed on the other side of the world where the [[Space:60th_Regiment_of_Foot_1st_Battalion|1st Battalion]] still used 60th Regiment of Foot until they were disbanded in 1819. ==Sources==

Popularly known as the "Star Division." Organized at Camp Forest, Ga., and Camp McClellan, Alabama, on November 26, 1917. On March 13, 1918, headquarters moved to Camp Forrest, Ga., and later left on May 8th and was established at Camp Wadsworth, South Carolina. Practically every state in the Union was represented in the volunteer personnel of the division; however, the majority of the men were from the South. The division, less artillery and engineers began embarking from New York on May 8, 1918, and began debarking in England on July 17th, the last units arriving in France, August 28, 1918. From England the troops were transported to France, beginning July 21st, debarking at LeHavre. Preceding the division, the engineers arrived on May 18th at Brest, and were engaged in construction work at Gievres before joining the division in August near Chateauvillain. The artillery landed at Le Havre on July 29th and began its training at Valdahon. After training in the vicinity of Chateauvillain, the division, less artillery, left on August 27, 1918, for Gerardmer where it occupied, under French command, a sector in the Vosages until October 11, 1918. On October 27th the division was moved from Gerardmer by rail to the vicinity of Les Islettes and established headquarters at Beauchamp Farm. On November 2, 1918, the division began to march forward in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. On November 6th, headquarters was established at Stonne.

[[Category:74th Regiment of Foot]] There was no, continuously serving, 74th Regiment of Foot. The number was used, at varying times, for units raised to meet a particular conflict.
The Regimental Records of the British Army; John Farmer; [http://archive.org/stream/regimentalrecord00farm#page/192/mode/2up Highland Light Infantry]===74th Regiment of Foot 1758 - 1764=== A unit, raised as the 2nd Battalion of the 36th Foot in 1756, the 74th was separately regimented in 1758. It was disbanded in 1764. It saw service in the [[:Category: Seven Years' War|Seven Years War]]. ===74th Regiment of Foot (Invalids) 1762 - 1768=== The unit, originally numbered 117th Foot was raised as a regiment of invalids in March 1762. It became the 74th in 1763 and was disbanded in 1768. ===[[:Category: 74th Regiment of Foot, American Revolution|74th Regiment of (Highland) Foot]] (Argylles) 1778 - 1784=== In December 1777, John Campbell of Barbreck received letters of service from King George III to raise a regiment of infantry in the county of Argyll for service in the regular army for the civil war in the American colonies (later the Revolutionary War). Campbell had seen previous service in the colonies during the French and Indian Wars. The first muster of the regiment was held in April 1778 at Glasgow and the unit numbered 74th Regiment of (Highland) Foot (Argylles). It was inspected, by the King, at Glasgow in May 1778 and sailed for Halifax, Nova Scotia, in August 1778. In deployed to New York and saw service under Clinton in the Carolinas before returning to New York. The Regiment deployed to England in early 1784, landing at Portsmouth, and marched home from there to Stirling, where it was disbanded on 24 May 1784. ===74th (Highland) Regiment of Foot (Campbell's Highlanders) 1787 - 1881=== The history of this Regiment is covered by Richard Cannon in the [https://archive.org/stream/cihm_48371#page/n49/mode/2up Historical Record of the Seventy-fourth Regiment, (Highlanders)] Continuing the association with the Campbells the 74th was raised in 1787 by Archibald Campbell for service in India. Its first action was during the Mysore campaign of 1789. It remained in India until 1803 redeploying to Ireland. It was known as "The Assaye Regiment". From 1808 to 1814, it served under Wellesley, later Duke of Wellington, in the Peninsula Campaign, where they are know for the storming of the walls at the siege of Badajoz. It returned to Ireland in 1814 and although deployed to Belgium for the Waterloo campaign did not arrive in time. From 1814 to 1818 it was on garrison duty in Ireland. The unit numbering system was changed in 1816 and the unit known as the 74th Regiment of Foot with "Highlanders" removed (not that the unit was ever particularly Highland and its recruiting base was Glasgow) but it lost the use of the kilt. The unit deployed to North America, in 1818, and was based at New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland until 1828. It deployed to the West Indies, Bermuda, in 1829 and was in Ireland between 1830 to 1834. In 1834 the unit deployed to Barbados. It remained in the West Indies, at various stations until 1841 when it deployed to Canada, Quebec and was stationed at Montreal. In 1845 it left Canada and deployed to England. It 1845, after a petition to the King, the Regiment was again allowed to use "Highland" as part of its name and to be clothed accordingly. It was thus known as 74th (Highland) Regiment of Foot. On the 22 August 1846 the Regiment finally arrived home in Scotland arriving at Dundee. After nearly 60 years of overseas operational service; they did it tough in those days. In 1847 they returned to Ireland and were based at Dublin. In 1850 they deployed to India to suppress various local uprisings which later became known as India's First War of Independence. As part of this deployment were regular transportation between India and Britain of unit reinforcements and wives and children. ====Birkenhead Disaster February 1852==== The Birkenhead was a ship used for the regular transportation of men and material to and from India. On 26 February 1852 she ran aground and started to sink on the Western Cape of South Africa. The Captain of the ship, Captain Salmond, took charge of the evacuation. Lieutenant Colonel Seton, commanding officer of the 74th Foot took charge of all military personnel and assigned men to pumps and boats. Unfortunately, due to damage, only three of the ships boats were serviceable and the two large boats were not among them. As the ship ran further aground she broke in two and the Captain ordered "all those who can swim jump overboard, and make for the boats". Colonel Seton, however, recognising that rushing the lifeboats would risk swamping them and endangering the women and children, ordered all men to stand fast; only three men on board that ship ever made the attempt. Seton freed the cavalry horses and these driven into the sea in the hope that they might be able to swim ashore. Every man did not move, even as the ship broke up barely 20 minutes after striking the rock. Some of the soldiers would make it to tell the story but most drowned, died of exposure or were taken by sharks. Rudyard Kipling was to coin this "The Birkenhead Drill"; women and children first and it subsequently became standard procedure in relation to the evacuation of sinking ships, both in fiction and in real life. === Childers Reforms=== In 1881, as part of the Childers Reforms, the 74th (Highland) Regiment of Foot amalgamated with the 71st (Highland) Regiment of Foot and the 1st Royal Lanark Royal Militia. to become the Highland Light Infantry. The 74th becoming the 2nd Battalion. ----------- '''Sources:''' * The Regimental Records of the British Army; John Farmer; Highland Light Infantry * Historical Record of the Seventy-fourth Regiment, (Highlanders); Richard Cannon '''Footnotes:'''

The division was activated in 1917 at Camp Custer, Michigan, and was sent to France but did not see combat as a unit. The 339 Infantry Regiment was sent to fight the Bolsehviks in Russia in 1919. The division was reactivated in May 1942 at Camp Shelby, MS. After completing basic training, they participated in the Louisiana Maneuvers and trained at the Desert Training Center in Yuma, AZ, during the summer of 1943. The division was transported across the US to Fort Dix, NJ. The day before Christmas, the first group departed from Newport News for North Africa. After further training and filling all open slots, they were shipped to Naples, Italy. They entered the line in April 1944 near the town of Minturno, under the observation of Monte Cassino. The 85th Infantry Division served under the command of General Mark Clark and the US 5th Army. They served in the II Corps and IV Corps at various times until the German surrender in Italy on May 2, 1945 The 85th Division launched their attack on May 11, 1944, as part of the 5th Army's attack of the GUSTAV Line. The division advanced from Minturno along the Mediterranean coast to the Anzio front. The 85th Infantry Division and the 88th Infantry Division lead the rush to liberate '''Rome''' and both claimed to be the first to enter the city. For the next week they advanced rapidly to the large Lake Braccianio. After a rest they entered the line along the''' ARNO Line''' at the town of Pisa on the south side of the Arno River. The Germans eventually fell back to their GOTHIC Line that ran along the peaks and ridges of the Appenine Mountains. The 85th Division lead the attack on the GOTHIC Line on September 13 to 17, 1944. With the US 91st Division on their left and the 88th Division on their right, the three regiments, the 338th, 339th and 337th, captured Monte Altuzzo, Monte Verruca, and Monte Pratone, respectively. As the Germans slowly pulled back, the mountain fighting got tough. The 5th Army was within sight of the flat Po Valley when the advance was called off because of rain and mud and depletion of ammo and supplies. In March, the 5th Army began to move out of the mountains and a race began to catch the Germans before they could retreat over the Alps. The 85th Infantry Division and 10th Mountain Division reached the Po River and crossed it at the town of San Benedetto Po. The 5th Army advanced rapidly and simply by-passed the pockets of German defenders in the large towns. Forming into mobile combat groups, they progressed through Verona and Vicenzia and into the foothills of the Alps. Most history books say they stopped near Vicenzia, but veterans will tell you they moved through Belluno and within a few miles of Brenner Pass before a truce was declared in preparation for the German surrender. Th 85th Division was credited with 3 campaigns: Rome-Arno, Appennine Mountains, & Po Valley.

As infantry of the line, the 8th (King's) peacetime responsibilities included service overseas in garrisons ranging from British North America, the Ionian Islands, India, and the British West Indies. The duration of these deployments varied considerably, sometimes exceeding a decade; its first tour of North America began in 1768 and ended in 1785. The regiment served in numerous conflicts during its existence, notably in the wars with France that dominated the 18th and 19th centuries, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Indian rebellion of 1857 (historically referred to as the "Indian Mutiny" by Britain). As a consequence of Childers reforms, the 8th became the King's (Liverpool Regiment). A pre-existing affiliation with the city had derived from its depot being situated in Liverpool from 1873 because of the earlier Cardwell reforms. ===Napoleonic Wars and the [[:category: War of 1812|War of 1812]]=== The regiment was stationed, initially in Gibraltar, in 1803 and then was relocated to Britain. It saw brief service on the Europe before being part of the force, under Sir Arthur Wellesley, at the siege of Copenhagen in 1807. The 1st Battalion moved to Canada in 1808 as the Napoleonic Wars extended to the Americas. Within a year, in January 1809, the battalion had embarked at Barbados with an expeditionary force of 10,000 assembled to invade Martinique. Although a number of engagements with the French garrison preceded the island's seizure, disease represented the principal threat to Britain's five-year occupation. By October 1809, some 1,700 of more than 2,000 casualties had succumbed to disease.[45] The 8th Foot returned to Nova Scotia in April, having had its commanding officer, Major Bryce Maxwell, and four others killed in a skirmish with French soldiers on the Surirey Heights during the advance on Fort Desaix in February. When sustained tension between the United States and Britain culminated in the War of 1812, the 1st and 2nd battalions were based in Quebec and Nova Scotia respectively. Sporadic raids into Canada on the eastern frontier provided impetus for a former regimental officer, Lieutenant-Colonel "Red" George MacDonnell, to encroach into New York State and attack Ogdensburg in February 1813. To reach their destination, the 8th Foot and Canadian militia had to traverse across the frozen St. Lawrence River and through dense snow. After gaining control of the fort following close-quarters battle, the British destroyed the main barracks and three anchored vessels, and departed with provisions and prisoners. Ogdensburg would not be reestablished as a frontier garrison, ensuring relative peace in the region. ==Sources==

[[Category:Anglo-Scottish Wars]] '''Anglo-Scottish Wars''' The Anglo-Scottish Wars were a series of wars fought between England and Scotland during the 16th century. After the Wars of Scottish Independence, England and Scotland had fought several times during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. In most cases, one country had attempted to take advantage of weakness or instability in the other. For example, James II of Scotland had attempted to regain Berwick during the Wars of the Roses in England.

After defeating Lord Elcho's forces at the [[:Category: Battle of Tippermuir|Battle of Tippermuir]], outside Perth, Montrose's forces had captured a large cache of weapons and munitions when they ransacked Perth. Most of the Highland clansmen departed with their plunder after Tippermuir, and Lord Kilpont's men disbanded after Kilpont himself was murdered by his own second-in-command, Stewart of Ardvorlich. However, Montrose was joined by two troops of horse under Nathaniel Gordon and Sir Thomas Ogilvy. Anxious to keep up the momentum of his campaign, Montrose left Perth on 4 September 1644 and marched north-east along the Firth of Tay. The well-defended burgh of Dundee was summoned to surrender but refused, so Montrose continued towards Aberdeen. Montrose led these men on a rapid advance on Aberdeen, the main Covenanter sea port in Scotland, picking up a force of around 500 highlanders on the way. After a diversion to avoid being forced to take a fortified bridge over the River Dee, they reached Aberdeen on 12 September. Montrose appeared before Aberdeen on 12 September with three Irish regiments (Laghtnan's, McDonnell's, O'Cahan's) totalling 1,500 men, 100 MacDonald Highlanders and two troops of horse. On 13 September, the burgh was summoned to surrender. During the negotiations, a soldier from the Covenanter garrison is said to have shot and killed a drummer boy accompanying the heralds, infuriating Montrose and his troops who swore vengeance on the Covenanters of Aberdeen. Having refused the summons to surrender, a Covenanter force under the command of Lord Balfour of Burleigh marched out and deployed along the crest of a flat-topped ridge about half-a-mile south of the burgh. The ridge topped the northern slope of the How Burn valley and overlooked a complex of buildings and ponds known as Justice Mills at its western end. Burleigh's infantry comprised around 2,000 men: two regular Covenanter regiments (his own and Lord Forbes'), the Aberdeen militia and some local levies. He also had around 300 cavalry, including three troops of regulars, which were deployed on the flanks. The Battle took place at "Two Mile Cross", near the present site of the retail park at Brig' o' Dee. Montrose drew up an extended line of men, to prevent being out-flanked and placed a small group of horsemen at each end "otherwise, if they would disobey, that then he desired them to remove old aged men, women, and children out of the way, and to stand to their own peril". The battle began with a cannonade from the Covenanters field guns. Lord Gordon on the Covenanters left wing attacked with his cavalry. Montrose moved his horse to assist on the right flank, and this small group of 44 horsemen repulsed and routed the Covenanter attack. Montrose quickly ordered these horsemen back into the line as they were now needed on the left where the battle was developing. Sweeping across to the other side of the field, they attacked the flanks of the Covenanters forces and forced them to flee. Montrose then ordered an infantry attack up the centre, routing the Covenanters who started fleeing back towards the town. Lord Burleigh's 2500 defenders were soon overwhelmed - 160 men were killed. Montrose remained in Aberdeen for three days. He either failed to control his troops, predominantly Irish and Highlanders, or he deliberately allowed the wholesale slaughter, pillage and rape of the civilian population. This act, and a similar event at Perth after the [[:Category: Battle of Tippermuir|Battle of Tippermuir]], caused widespread hatred for him and his cause in areas which were once Royalist and many families turned to the Covenanters. He fled Aberdeen to avoid a confrontation with the approaching Parliamentarian force under the Marquess of Argyll. On 28 October, Argyll finally caught up with Montrose at Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire. Skirmishing continued for several days in the vicinity of the castle but Montrose maintained a strong defensive position and Argyll was unable to bring the smaller Royalist force to battle. When Argyll withdrew to find fodder for his cavalry horses, Montrose took the opportunity to escape across the hills to Blair Atholl. As many of Montrose's followers were deserting him, Argyll marched back to Edinburgh, convinced that the Royalist uprising would fade completely with the onset of winter.

: '''The Battle of Bosworth Field''' (or Battle of Bosworth) was the last significant battle of the Wars of the Roses, the civil war between the Houses of Lancaster and York that raged across England in the latter half of the 15th century. Fought on 22 August 1485, the battle was won by the Lancastrians. Their leader Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, by his victory became the first English monarch of the Tudor dynasty. His opponent, Richard III, the last king of the House of York, was killed in the battle. Historians consider Bosworth Field to mark the end of the Plantagenet dynasty, making it a defining moment of English and Welsh history.

Richard III's vanguard was led by the aged John, duke of Norfolk. 7,000 men, raised to support Richard, under Henry Percy, the earl of Northumberland did not enter the battle. Later Henry Percy was killed by his own supporters for 'disappointing' Richard. The Lancastrian general, John de Vere, the earl of Oxford, led Henry's forces and his vanguard. Henry Tudor was stationed at the back of the field. Thomas Lord Stanley, and his brother, Sir William Stanley, had around 6,000 men between them who were raised to fight for King Richard. Thomas was Henry Tudor's step-father. The Stanleys kept their men out of the fighting as well. Richard and around 200 cavalry fought through to Henry Tudor. When Sir William Stanley saw that Henry was in 'immediate danger' he brought his men into action, crashing into the side of Richard's men and sweeping them into the marsh. Even John Rous, who compared Richard to the Antichrist, admitted “if I may say the truth to his credit, though small in body and feeble of limb, he bore himself like a gallant knight and acted with distinction as his own champion until his last breath”.
Richard knocked down Sir John Cheyney, who at six foot eight inches was the tallest soldier of his day, while Henry's standard-bearer Sir William Brandon was killed. Richard's own standard-bearer, Sir Percival Thribald, has both his legs cut from underneath him, but still managed to cling to the king's standard. Emma McFarnon, ''[http://www.historyextra.com/feature/tudors/10-things-you-need-know-about-battle-bosworth 10 things you need to know about the battle of Bosworth]'', History Extra, accessed 3 July 2015.
With Richard at Bosworth were a close-knit group of gentry who served in the royal household: men like John Huddleston, Thomas Pilkington and Richard Ratcliffe. They were men whom Richard could trust, but they were also the very men who were instrumental in reducing Stanley’s power in the northwest.By Richard’s side, possibly carrying his standard, was James Harrington. When Richard III sped past the Stanleys at Bosworth Field he presented them with an opportunity too tempting to refuse.
During the 1470s Richard had become the dominant power in the north as Edward’s lieutenant. He served his brother faithfully and built up a strong and stable following. The leading gentry families could serve royal authority without an intermediary. The losers in this new dispensation were the two northern magnates, Henry Percy and Thomas Stanley.

[[Category: Battle of Chippawa]] ==The Battle of Chippawa== The Battle of Chippawa, (sometimes incorrectly spelled Chippewa), fought on July 5th 1814, was the opening engagement of the Niagara campaign of 1814, the longest and bloodiest military operation of the War of 1812. It was American invasion of British North America along the Niagara River. The principal American campaign for 1814 centred on sending Major-General Jacob Brown's Left Division of the US Army into the Niagara Peninsula, where it would meet the American Lake Ontario squadron and then raid Burlington Bay, York or Kingston as circumstances allowed. The battlefield is a Canadian National Historic Site. Niagara Parks acquired the site of the Battle of Chippawa in 1995 and has preserved 121 hectares (300 acres) of this pristine battlefield, the last remaining site from the War of 1812. The Corps of Cadets of the United States Military Academy at West Point wear gray parade uniforms, but the assertion that they were adopted in commemoration of Scott's troops at Chippawa appears to be a legend, possibly started by General Scott himself. The reasons given in 1815 for its selection were simply that it wore well and was considerably cheaper than the blue one. ==British and Canadian Forces== *The British infantry, with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Scots 1st (Royal Scots) Foot] and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100th_Regiment_of_Foot_(Prince_Regent%27s_County_of_Dublin_Regiment) 100th Regiment of Foot (Prince Regent's County of Dublin Regiment)] leading and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8th_(The_King%27s)_Regiment_of_Foot 8th (The King's) Regiment of Foot] in reserve *Canadian Militia, including the 2nd Lincoln Militia *Indian Warriors *Royal Artillery *a detachment of the 19th Light Dragoons ==American Forces== * First Brigade, which consisted of the 9th, 11th, 22d, and 25th Infantry Regiments and totaled 1,380 men. ::- The 25th Infantry was later combined with the 27th, 29th and 37th Infantry Regiments to form the 6th Infantry Regiment.

[[Category: Battle of Dak To]] Vietnam War: Battle of Dak To 173rd Airborne during the Battle of Dak To, November 1967. US Army by Kennedy Hickman Updated August 29, 2016 BATTLE OF DAK TO - CONFLICT & DATES: The Battle of Dak To was a major engagement of the Vietnam War and was fought from November 3 to 22, 1967. ARMIES & COMMANDERS: US & Republic of Vietnam Major General William R. Peers 16,000 men North Vietnam & Viet Cong General Hoang Minh Thao Tran The Mon 6,000 men BATTLE OF DAK TO - BACKGROUND: In the summer of 1967, the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) initiated a series of attacks in western Kontum Province. To counter these, Major General William R. Peers commenced Operation Greeley using elements of the 4th Infantry Division and the 173rd Airborne Brigade. This was designed to sweep PAVN forces from the jungle-covered mountains of the region. After a series of sharp engagements, contact with PAVN forces diminished in August leading the Americans to believe that they had withdrawn back across the border into Cambodia and Laos. After a quiet September, US intelligence reported that PAVN forces around Pleiku were moving into Kontum in early October. This shift increased PAVN strength in the area to around division level. The PAVN plan was to utilize the the 6,000 men of the 24th, 32nd, 66th, and 174th regiments to isolate and destroy a brigade-sized American force near Dak To. Largely devised by General Nguyen Chi Thanh, the goal of this plan was to force the further deployment of American troops to the border regions which would leave South Vietnam's cities and lowlands vulnerable. To deal with this build up of PAVN forces, Peers directed the 3rd Battalion of the 12th Infantry and the 3rd Battalion of the 8th Infantry to launch Operation MacArthur on November 3. BATTLE OF DAK TO - FIGHTING BEGINS: Peer's understanding of the enemy's intentions and strategy was greatly enhanced on November 3, following the defection of Sergeant Vu Hong who provided key information regarding PAVN unit locations and intentions. Alerted to each PAVN unit's location and objective, Peers' men began engaging the enemy the same day, disrupting the North Vietnamese plans for attacking Dak To. As elements of the 4th Infantry, 173rd Airborne, and the 1st Brigade of the 1st Air Cavalry went into action they found that the North Vietnamese had prepared elaborate defensive positions on the hills and ridges around Dak To. Over the ensuing three weeks, American forces developed a methodical approach to reducing PAVN positions. Once the enemy was located, massive amounts of firepower (both artillery and air strikes) were applied, followed by an infantry assault to secure to objective. To support this approach, Bravo Company, 4th Battalion, 173rd Airborne established Fire Support Base 15 on Hill 823 early in the campaign. In most instances, PAVN forces fought tenaciously, bloodying the Americans, before vanishing into the jungle. Key firefights in the campaign occurred on Hills 724 and 882. As these fights were taking place around Dak To, the airstrip became a target for PAVN artillery and rocket attacks. BATTLE OF DAK TO - FINAL ENGAGEMENTS: The worst of these took place on November 12, when rockets and shellfire destroyed several C-130 Hercules transports as well as detonated the base's ammunition and fuel depots. This resulted in the loss of 1,100 tons of ordnance. In addition to the American forces, Army of Vietnam (ARVN) units also took part in the battle, seeing action around Hill 1416. The last major engagement of the Battle of Dak To began on November 19, when the 2nd Battalion of the 503rd Airborne attempted to take Hill 875. After meeting initial success, the 2/503 found itself caught in an elaborate ambush. Surrounded, it endured a severe friendly fire incident and was not relieved until the next day. AFTERMATH: A victory for the Americans and South Vietnamese, the Battle of Dak To cost 376 US killed, 1,441 US wounded, and 79 ARVN killed. In the course of the fighting, Allied forces fired 151,000 artillery rounds, flew 2,096 tactical air sorties, and conducted 257 B-52 Stratofortress strikes. Initial US estimates placed enemy losses above 1,600, but these were quickly questioned and PAVN casualties were later estimated to be between 1,000 and 1,445 killed. ==Sources==

[[Category: Scotland Project Managed FSPs]] [[Category: Battle of Sligachan]] {{Profile-box|See [[:Category: Battle of Sligachan|the category]] for profiles of persons who participated in this battle}} '''Battle of Sligachan, 1395, Skye''' [[Image:Doug_s_Photos-10.png|50px]] [[Image:Doug_s_Photos-12.png|50px]] The battle of Sligachan on Skye was a Scottish clan battle fought between the MacLeods and the MacDonalds. [[Macdonald-273|Donald MacDonald]], Lord of the Isles, seemed bent on increasing his clan lands and recreating the Kingdom of the Isles, by force if necessary. The feud between the two clans, and their associates, was brought about over land. After the ceding of the lands by Norway, in 1265 at the Treaty of Perth, the northern isles, Skye and Lewis included, were, in the main, held as part of the Earldom of Ross. However, in 1335, a charter had been granted of both these islands to [[Macdonald-91|John of Islay]], afterwards the first Lord of the Isles. In 1344 the grant of Lewis was confirmed but Skye reverted to the Earl of Ross. When Robert Stewart ascended the throne as Robert II, in 1371, the island of Harris, along with the lands of Moidart, Arisaig, Morar, Knoydart, Uist, Barra, Rum and Eigg, were granted to John Macdonald, Lord of the Isles, by Robert II, as part of the arrangement surrounding his daughter's marriage to John MacDonald. Thus, in 1392, Clan MacLeod held their estates under three feudal superiors. In Glenelg a tenant ''in capite'' (to the King) under a charter of 1342; in Harris a vassal of the Lord of the Isles, in Skye a vassal of the Earl of Ross. However Donald, in 1380, likely at the time of his marriage, maintained that he had been given Skye as the marriage portion for his wife, [[Leslie-169|Mary Leslie]], daughter to the Countess of Ross. Donald MacDonald was more aggressive and less politically astute than his father. He made a grant of Harris, the North Isle, and part of Skye to Ranald, second son of John Macdonald and Amy Macruari, ancestors of the Clan Ranald family, the disinherited brothers. Nominally the charter only conveyed the feudal superiority but in reality it was intended to convey the actual possession of the land, and the real object of the attacks made by the Macdonalds against the Macleods was to secure this. Donald invaded Skye. At this time the MacLeods were fighting for their very existence. [[Image:Doug_s_Photos-18.jpg|150px]] A large force of MacDonalds under Alastair, brother of the Lord of the Isles (the ancestor of the MacDonalds of Keppoch) landed at Eynort. William MacLeod collected his clan, and met the invaders at the head of Loch Sligachan. After, what is described as, "a fierce and bloody contest" the MacDonalds fled. Alastair MacDonald had been killed by "Tormod Coil MacLeod, a cousin of the Chief, and son of his uncle Murdo" (not yet entirley sure who these are). Few of the MacDonalds escaped alive, their galleys having been captured by MacCaskill, who put every soul on board to death, and carried their heads to Dunvegan, where they were numbered and delivered to the Chief's warder. After the battle at Loch Sligachan, William divided the spoil amongst his followers at the foot of a rock which has ever since been called Creag na Feanish, or the Rock of the Spoil. (This rock is said to be the 'Bloody Stone' in Hartacorrie.) Much of the information above is from the MacLeods source mentioned below. However it is worth noting Alastair MacDonald, brother to The Lord of the Isles, and ancestor of the Keppel MacDonalds is not known to have died here. Further the names of Tormod Coil MacLeod, a cousin of the Chief, and son of his uncle Murdo, do not seem to accord with the history of the family, even as recorded by the historian. == Sources == * Source S-1{{MLA citation| title= ''The Macleods of Dunvegan from the time of Leod to the end of the seventeenth century''|volume= Vol. I|author= Roderick Charles MacLeod| publisher= Clan MacLeod| publication-place= Edinburgh| year= 1927 |url=https://archive.org/details/macleodsofdunveg00macl| repository= archive.org}}

In Sept, 1758 Amherst was in charge of the 60th (Royal American) Regiment. Then Amherst then led British troops and Colonial militia against the French troops on Lake Champlain, where he captured Fort Ticonderoga in July 1759. After 1759 he served as governor of Virginia. '''ROAD to the REVOLUTION - MONONGAHELA''' :This battle is lauded as the most important battle that occurred before 1775 in North America. :By the end of the 1740's Virginia settlers' were viewing the Forks of the Ohio River as a good place to resettle. Land there seemed extra fertile and tobacco growers wanted the best soil. They had exhausted the Virginia soil with the cultivation of tobacco, and did not know about crop rotation. A group formed the Ohio company and received a grant of 200,000 acres for 100 families. They agreed to build a fort, settle there. A second group established the Loyal Land Company, for a grant of 800,000 Acres in the area of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. ::'''Unfortunately the area appealed to both the British and French'''. Early in the 1750's, young [[Washington-11|George Washington]] was sent with a message to the French. Message was to inform the French that the French should not settle on land the British had claimed. This resulted in a battle, with over 150 men were killed by the French forces. He had to retreat. During the Jumonville Affair, young [[Washington-11|George Washington]] ambushed the small French force. He fired the first shot, according to the Iroqois warrior, then his men began firing. The French had brought in 600 troops and captured Fort Trent. [[Washington-11|George Washington]] attacked, defeated the majority of the British. {{Image|file=New_France_in_the_French_and_Indian_War-17.png |align=c |size=400 |caption=' }} [[Washington-11 |George Washington]] then retreated. His Virginia militia built '''Fort Necessity''' to be a British-American block against the French advances into what they felt was British territory. When the French attacked this Fort, they escorted Washington and the Virginians back to Virginia. They made them promise not to try another fort for over a year Following this episode, the British sent General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] in to 'handle' all of colonial America, He had orders to capture the French-held '''Fort Duquesne''' (near present day Pittsburgh). Fort Duquesne guarded the Forks of the Ohio River, and was the gateway to the trans- Appalachian West. His orders were to capture the 3 French-held forts, to preserve the British held land, and restore the Native Americans' rights totheir land. In reading of this man he may have been misrepresented by many. At least as his army marched toward Fort Duquesne, he did have the army stop and repair each bridge. {{Image|file=French_and_Indian_War_Images-20.png |align=c |size=400 |caption=Map of Duquesne}} '''#16 is the place General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] was attacked.''' (The fort is near there, shown as small square) General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] told the Native Americans that he was supposed to attack, capture the 3 forts and restore the Native Americans' rights to their land. He was probably no worse than other Generals of his time. As his army marched along, he did have them stop and repair each bridge. The General knew Fort Duquesne details as an English hostage of Fort Necessity had smuggled out a diagram and report was smuggled out. All the British needed were to arrive at Fort Duquesne! See Source: University of Pittsburgh, Robert Stobo to Colonel Innes, July 28, 1754 * [http://www.virginiaplaces.org/military/frenchandindian.html ::A Downfall for the American Virginian colonists occurred when General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] issued orders which removed the rank of the American field officers and colonial generals. Thus at this time, [[Washington-11|George Washington]] had no rank, except aide-de-camp. (Bad on morale.) {{Image|file=French_and_Indian_War_Images-9.png |align=c |size=400 |caption=Attack of French and Indians on Gen Braddock. }} The French forces and their scouts had adapted the same warfare the Native Americans and American colonists, to use natural ravines, or forests for cover. The French kept track of General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]]'s progress toward Fort Duquesne (using scouts) as he and the British troops with American Virginians marched along. The dark forested areas covered them as they watched before they attacked the British. The Native Americans were in the forest also, watching, as the British army under General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] began crossing the Monongahela river, and later as General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] approached . The French forces and Native Americans attacked from the natural breastworks-trees. {{Image|file=French_and_Indian_War_Images-9.jpg |align=c |size=400 |caption=Native Americans in forest. }} :The Map: {{Image|file=French_and_Indian_War_Images-3.png |align=l |size=450 |caption=Monongahela. }} The British crossed the river, but marched in their '''orderly European war lines'''. They were sitting ducks for the French to fire their weapons, or the Indians to throw a tomahawk, arrow, knife. {{Image|file=French_and_Indian_War_Images-11.png |align=c |size=400 |caption=Attack on Braddock. }} {{clear}} Once the attack began, General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] gave orders to the British officers to charge up the hill and drive the French the forest. Since they could not see the enemy, they were in terror, and fired straight into the forest randomly. The Native Americans in the woods could creep through ravines and tree cover and fire upon the British in the red coats. {{Image|file=French_and_Indian_War_Images-11.jpg |align=r |size=170 |caption=George Washington. }} First the French and the Indians allied with them, killed the officers on horseback. [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] himself found another horse, tried to restore order. General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] survived 3 hours, with having 3 horses killed beneath him, then was shot through his arms and lung. This resulted in his death. During the attack, young [[Washington-11|George Washington]] had asked Braddock to use his Virginians' method of warfare. (Using the trees and ravines for cover to fire from shelter). However Braddock refused. He found a fresh horse, as nearly all officers were lost, General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] tried to restore order. The only man who could be fired upon without falling was the Virginian Ranger whom [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]] had insulted,'''[[Washington-11|George Washington]]''' Soon a reinforcement of 800 men under Col. Burton arrived. {{Image|file=French_and_Indian_War_Images-24.jpg |align=c |size=400 |caption=Attack on Braddock }} ::[[Washington-11|George Washington]] was at this time no more than aide-de-camp. '''''Two-thirds of the standard British army were defeated by an army composed of American Indians and French.''''' Also killed was General [[Braddock-116|Edward Braddock]]. It was a slaughter that ended in 3-4 hours. Reasons: * British soldiers were hindered by crossing the Monongahela River, which had a considerable bend and high banks, causing them to cross the river twice to reach the fort, July 9, 1755. *They assumed they were the superior force *The British were using the European order for marching as if on a field-day in England. *They marched without advance guards or scouts. *When the French and Indians attacked, the British huddled in squads. {{Image|file=French_and_Indian_War_Images-6.png |align=l |size=200 |caption=Edward Braddock. }} '''Battlefield''' Some assume '''Braddock's road''' is the old National Road.

Formally, the British colonies in North America were known as British America and the British West Indies until 1776, when the Thirteen British Colonies located along the Atlantic seaboard declared their independence and formed the United States of America. The French and Indian War was fought between the colonies of British America and New France, with both sides having the support of military units from their countries of Great Britain and France, as well as Native American allies. There were 60,000 European settlers in the French North American colonies, and 2 million European settlers in the British North American colonies. The British greatly exceeded the French in numbers so the French were dependent on the Native Americans as allies.

[[Category: British Army in World War I]]
'''British Army in World War I''' At the start of World War I, the British Army comprised roughly 250,000 regular troops, about 120,000 of these were part of the British Expeditionary Force, which had been raised as part of the Haldane Refroms following the [[:Category: Second Boer War|Second Boer War]] and the rest were stationed abroad. There were soldiers in all Britain's overseas possessions except the white dominions of Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The Army also had roughly 250,000 reservists and 270,000 Territorials. By January of 1916 over 2.6 million men had enlisted and more were required. Conscription for single men was introduced in January 1916. Four months later, in May 1916, it was extended to all men aged 18 to 41. The Military Service Act of March 1916 forced the conscription of a further 2.3 million men although the Act was not enforced in Ireland due to the uprisings. At it's peak, in December of 1918, the Army comprised of 4 million men. Women also volunteered and served in a non-combatant role; by the end of the war, 80,000 had enlisted. They mostly served as nurses in the [[:Category: Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service|Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service (QAIMNS)]], the [[:Category: First Aid Nursing Yeomanry|First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY)]], the [[:Category: Voluntary Aid Detachment|Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD)]]; and from 1917, in the Army when the [[:Category: Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, United Kingdom, World War I|Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC)]], was founded.

[[Category:British Merchant Navy]] '''British Merchant Navy'''
The Merchant Navy is the maritime register of the United Kingdom, and describes the seagoing commercial interests of UK-registered ships and their crews. Merchant Navy vessels fly the Red Ensign and are regulated by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). King George V bestowed the title of "Merchant Navy" on the British merchant shipping fleets following their service in the First World War; a number of other nations have since adopted the title. The United Kingdom made extensive use of commercial shipping during both World Wars. Ships and Personnel formed the Merchant Navy. Personnel of the Merchant Navy are remembered at the [http://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/90002/TOWER%20HILL%20MEMORIAL Tower Hill Memorial] which commemorates all men and women of the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets who died in both World Wars and who have no known grave. It stands on the south side of the garden of Trinity Square, London, close to The Tower of London. See:

[[Category:Carleton and York Regiment]] [[Category:Nouveau-Brunswick]] [[Category:New Brunswick]] ==The Carleton and York Regiment== The Carleton and York Regiment mobilized The Carleton and York Regiment, CASF, on 1 September 1939. It was redesignated the 1st Battalion, The Carleton and York Regiment, CASF, on 7 November 1940. It embarked for Britain on 9 December 1939 as part of the first contingent. Lt. Col. Ganong took it to England and had the distinction of heading the first Canadian battalion to set foot on English soil. After several strategic changes, the Regiment began final training for intense fighting on the continent. After three and a half years, it participated in the invasion of Sicily in July-August, 1943, after landing in Sicily on 10 July 1943. In 3 September 1943, the Regiment participated in the invasion of the Italian mainland, as an assault battalion in the leading brigade, as part of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, 1st Canadian Infantry Division. Fighting as part of the British 8th Army for three months, constantly confronting difficult terrain and skillful delaying tactics (such as bridge demolition) by the retreating Germany soldiers. In December 1943, however, the nature of the conflict changed, as the Germans attempted to contain the Allies as far south as possible. From then until March 1945, the Carleton and York Regiment was engaged in a serious of intense and costly battles, including Ortona, the Gothic Line, and the Liri Valley. On 16 March 1945, it moved to North-West Europe as part of Operation Goldflake, where it fought until the end of the war. The overseas battalion was disbanded on 30 September 1945. On 1 June 1945, a second Active Force battalion was mobilized for service in the Pacific, under the designation 2nd Canadian Infantry Battalion, (The Carleton and York Regiment), CASF. The battalion was disbanded on 1 November 1945. After returning to Canada, it was reverted to a militia unit and, in 1954, it was combined with the New Brunswick Scottish Regiment to create First Battalion, The Royal New Brunswick Regiment (Carleton and York). Carleton & York Regiment Memorial Park is located next to the Armory on Carleton Street in Fredericton.

[[Category:Dayton, Ohio]] [[Category: Central Branch National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, Dayton, Ohio]] [[Category:Jefferson Township, Montgomery County, Ohio]] ===Central Branch National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers===
In the selection of an eligible site for the Central Home, the attention of the Board of Managers was directed to the rich and fertile valley of the Miami, and, [?]ing it admirably adapted to the purposes of a home, they at once entered into negotiations for the purchase of 540 acres of land, about three miles west of the city of Dayton, located principally in Section 1, Jefferson Township, with a sma11 fraction in Section 36, Madison Township. The land, at the time of the purchase, was in the ordinary condition of farm lands throughout the State, [?]sessing, however, natural beauty and great facilities of improvement; but above all, the supply of water was both abundant and excellent. On the grounds are several medicinal springs, two of which have rare mineral properties. At the request of the Board of Managers, Chaplain T. B. Van Horn, the United States Army, was detailed by the Secretary of War to lay out the grounds. The site overlooks the city of Dayton and the beautiful scenery of the Miami Valley for miles around.

Further information about the National Home is detailed in pages 435-447 of the ''History of Montgomery County''.

The original Royal Navy medal was instituted briefly in 1855, and fully on 7 July 1874. During World War II, the Royal Air Force medal – the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal (Flying) – was added, from 1943.

If you are reading this now, this is not the project page, but the Resource page. The French and Indian War (also called the Seven Years War) which lasted from 1754 - 1763. This American colonial extension, was considered one of the bloodiest American wars in the 18th century. Since this war covered three continents, the war claimed more lives than the American Revolution. Both The French and the British became involved and pulled into the war the new settlements of North America. Both sides made use of the American Indians who were living in North of America. Reason for this war seems to be colonial territory and expectations of wealth. Causes: :1) the British wanted control of the land for expansion and raising tobacco. :2) the French wanted to control the fur trade in North America. :3) Native Americans were afraid the British would take over their land. English and French merchants traded with the American Indians of the Ohio Country. This was known at the time as the Northwest Territory, which was also called the Ohio Country. England and France desired more land to claim for their respective countries. More Colonies meant more Colonists to come to America to settle. This benefited the investors of the Ohio Company. More Colonies would eventually become productive farms rather than wilderness. England and France tried to block access to each other in this region west of the Allegany Mountains '''(Ohio Country)'''. The French soldiers captured English trading posts in the early to mid 1750's. They also built Fort Duquesne (what is known today as Pittsburgh), to defend their territory from English trappers, and colonists. * 1754, 22-year-old George Washington and Virginia militia men ambushed a French patrol in the Ohio Country. Their intent was to drive the French from the region and capture Fort Duquesne. However the troops there were too strong, Washington had to retreat. His militia men built Fort Necessity to use to counteract against the French. Then some French soldiers with their Ohio Country American Indian allies attacked and defeated Washington's '''Fort Necessity''' on '''July 3, 1754.'''-- the beginning of of the French and Indian War in the New World. The French permitted Washington and his men to return to Virginia in safety. Washington and the Virginians had to agree not to try to build another fort west of the Appalachian Mountains for at least '''one year'''.

[[Category:Gaza War]] The Gaza War was a three-week armed conflict in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Palestinian militants during the winter of 2008–2009. It began on 27 December 2008 as an Israel Defense Forces operation called Operation Cast Lead (מבצע עופרת יצוקה). Hamas referred to the conflict as the Battle of al-Furqan, while others have called it the Gaza Massacre. Israel's stated goal was to stop rocket fire into Israel and weapons smuggling into the Gaza strip. After the beginning of the conflict, Palestinian groups continued firing rockets in response to what they characterized as "massacres". Israeli forces attacked police stations, military targets including weapons caches and suspected rocket firing teams, as well as political and administrative institutions in the opening assault, striking in the densely populated cities of Gaza, Khan Yunis and Rafah. An Israeli ground invasion began on January 3. Infantry commanders were given an unprecedented level of access to coordinate with air, naval, artillery, intelligence, and combat engineering units during this second phase. Various new technologies and hardware were also introduced. On January 5, the IDF began operating in the densely populated urban centers of Gaza. During the last week of the offensive (from 12 January), Israel mostly hit targets it had damaged before and struck Palestinian rocket-launching units. Hamas intensified its rocket and mortar attacks against civilian targets in southern Israel, reaching the major cities of Beersheba and Ashdod for the first time during the conflict. Israeli politicians ultimately decided against striking deeper within Gaza amid concerns of higher casualties on both sides and rising international criticism. The conflict ended on January 18, when Israel first declared a unilateral ceasefire, followed by Hamas' announcing a one-week ceasefire twelve hours later. Israel completed its withdrawal on January 21. The conflict resulted in between 1,166 and 1,417 Palestinian and 13 Israeli deaths (4 from friendly fire). According to the Shin Bet, after the conflict, there was a decrease in Palestinian rocket attacks. In September 2009, a UN special mission, headed by the South African Justice Richard Goldstone, produced a controversial report accusing both Palestinian militants and the IDF of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity, and recommended bringing those responsible to justice. In January 2010, the Israeli government released a response criticizing the Goldstone Report and disputing its findings. In 2011, Goldstone wrote that he no longer believed that Israel intentionally targeted civilians in Gaza. The other authors of the report, Hina Jilani, Christine Chinkin and Desmond Travers, rejected Goldstone's re-assessment. However, the United Nations Human Rights Council did not agree and ordered Israel to conduct various repairs of the damages. On September 21, 2012, the United Nations Human Rights Council concluded that 75% of civilian homes destroyed in the attack were not rebuilt.

Although commissioned into the RAN in 1942, the ship was initially the property of the Royal Navy. Quickmatch served with both the British Eastern Fleet and British Pacific Fleet during World War II. In the 1950s, the destroyer was converted into an anti-submarine frigate. In 1957, Quickmatch operated in support of Malaya during the Malayan Emergency. The ship remained in service until 1963, and after use as an accommodation ship, was sold for scrap in 1972 [[image:Woods-7484-1.jpg|480px|*]] :Namesake: The quick match, a fast burning match used for lighting cannon :Builder: J.

After trials the ship commenced convoy escort duty on 5 October 1942. In November 1942 she proceeded to the South Atlantic Station for further convoy escort duty. En route on 1 December she intercepted the Italian blockade runner Cortelazzo. Following four months convoy duty on the South Atlantic Station Quickmatch transferred to the Indian Ocean for similar duty, although she was detached to the South Atlantic Station during June, July and August 1943. On 19 April 1944 HMA Ships NAPIER, NEPAL, NIZAM, '''QUICKMATCH''', and QUIBERON, (destroyers), operated as part of the British Pacific Fleet in the attack on Sabang, (Operation Cockpit), by carrier-borne aircraft. In May 1944 Quickmatch was included in the main force of the British Eastern Fleet, based on Ceylon, which carried out a successful carrier borne air attack on the Japanese base at Sourabaya on 17 May. This action was followed on 21 June by a similar assault from the air on Port Blair in the Andaman Islands. During these operations Quickmatch was a unit of the 4th Destroyer Flotilla, Eastern Fleet. On 25 July 1944 Quickmatch, as part of an inshore force, entered Sabang Harbour, Sumatra, and carried out a close range bombardment of Japanese installations. In October 1944 Quickmatch arrived in Australian waters for the first time. After visiting Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides she commenced her annual refit at Sydney (November to December 1944). Following the refit Quickmatch served mainly in Australian waters, with a visit to New Zealand, until March 1945. On 20 March 1945 the British Pacific Fleet arrived at Ulithi to join the US Fifth Fleet for Operation Iceberg, the assault on Okinawa. '''HMAS QUICKMATCH''' and QUIBERON, (destroyers), were serving with the 4th Destroyer Flotilla in the Fleet. She was one of the ships screening the Royal Navy carriers whose task it was to neutralise Japanese air fields in support of the United States invasion in Okinawa. On 17 July 1945 HMA Ships QUIBERON and '''QUICKMATCH''', (destroyers), with HM Ships FORMIDABLE, NEWFOUNDLAND, BLACK PRINCE, BARFLEUR, GRENVILLE, TROUGHBRIDGE, and UNDINE, bombarded the Japanese coast north of Tokyo. QUIBERON and QUICKMATCH were the only RAN ships to fire on the Japanese home islands. When hostilities ceased on 15 August 1945, Quickmatch was en route to Manus after operating in support of attacks on the main Japanese island of Honshu. She had steamed some 224,000 miles on war service. In the early post war years Quickmatch remained in seagoing service in Australian waters, interspersed with several tours of duty in Japanese and Korean waters. In July 1948 she returned to Sydney following three months as the Australian Squadron representative in Japan and was placed in immobilised commission. She paid off on 15 May 1950. On 28 March 1951 Quickmatch was towed by the tug HMAS Reserve to Williamstown Naval Dockyard where work commenced on her conversion to a modern fast anti-submarine frigate. The conversion was completed in 1955 and she recommissioned on 23 September 1955 under the command of LCDR Duncan H. Stevens RAN, as a unit of the 1st Frigate Squadron. When completed by the conversion of three sister ships from destroyers to frigates, the Squadron comprised HMA Ships Quadrant, Queenborough, Quiberon and Quickmatch.

[[Category:French Military History]] [[Category: Hundred Years' War]] ===The Hundred Years' War=== For profiles, see [[:Category: Hundred Years' War|the category]] The Hundred Years' War raged from 1337 to 1453 between England and France over control of the French throne. Allies of both sides were also drawn in. The war had roots in a dynastic disagreement dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, who became King of England in 1066 while retaining possession of the Duchy of Normandy in France. As rulers of Normandy and other lands on the continent, the English kings owed feudal homage to the king of France. In 1337, Edward III refused to pay homage to his younger brother Philip VI of France, leading the French king to claim confiscation of Edward's lands in Aquitaine. Edward responded by declaring that he, not Philip, was the rightful king of France, a claim dating to 1328, when Charles IV of France died without a male heir. Edward was the closest male relative of Charles IV as son of Isabella of France, daughter of Philip IV of France and sister of Charles IV. But instead, Philip VI, the son of Philip IV's younger brother, Charles of Valois, was crowned king of France in accordance with Salic Law, which disqualified female succession and the succession of males descended through female lines. The question of legal succession to the French crown was central to the war over generations of English and French claimants. The war is commonly divided into three phases separated by truces: * Edwardian Era War (1337–1360) * Caroline War (1369–1389) **Battle of Nájera or Navarrete 3 April 1367 * Lancastrian War (1415–1453), which saw the slow decline of English fortunes after the appearance of Joan of Arc in 1429. Contemporary European conflicts directly related to this conflict were the Breton War of Succession, the Castilian Civil War, the War of the Two Peters, and the 1383-1385 Crisis. The term "Hundred Years' War" is a periodization invented later by historians to encompass all of these events. Although primarily a dynastic conflict, the war gave impetus to ideas of French and English nationalism. It saw weapons and tactics that supplanted feudal armies dominated by heavy cavalry. The first standing armies in Western Europe since the time of the Western Roman Empire were introduced, changing the role of peasantry. For this, it is often viewed as one of the most significant conflicts in medieval warfare. English political forces over time came to oppose the costly venture; while English nobles' dissatisfactions, resulting from the loss of their continental landholdings, was a factor leading to War of the Roses civil war. In France, civil wars, deadly epidemics, famines and bandit free companies of mercenaries reduced the population drastically.

By the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, a significant portion of the military forces of the British Army consisted of Irishmen, because of:- * the Kingdom of Ireland was in a personal union with England (and later Great Britain) until 1801 * Ireland was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1801 to 1922[citation needed] * the traditions of the nobility and landed gentry, which caused them to prefer military service to a career in trade * economic necessity * ambition * family tradition The main Irish regiments involved in the Napoleonic Wars were the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, 18th Royal Hussars, 27th Regiment of Foot, 87th Regiment of Foot and the 88th Regiment of Foot. 4th Regiment of Foot Guards (The Irish Guards) circa 1960s ''' 'Irish' named units of the British Army''' * What is now the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers was founded in 1674 as "The Irish Regiment" * The Volunteers of Ireland (1777–82), were renamed the 105th Regiment of Foot * The Catholic Irish Brigade (1794-1798) * 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, amalgamated 1922. * 5th Royal Irish Lancers, disbanded in 1921, reconstituted and amalgamated in 1922. * 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons * 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars, amalgamated 1958. * 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, amalgamated with the 12th Royal Lancers to form the 9th/12th Royal Lancers in 1960. * Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, created 1958, amalgamated 1993. * Queen's Royal Hussars (Queen's Own & Royal Irish). created 1993. * North Irish Horse * South Irish Horse * Irish Guards * Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, amalgamated 1968 * Royal Irish Fusiliers, amalgamated 1968 * Royal Ulster Rifles, amalgamated 1968 * Royal Irish Rifles, renamed as Royal Ulster Rifles 1921. * Royal Irish Rangers, created 1968, amalgamated 1992 * Royal Irish Regiment * Tyneside Irish Brigade, disbanded 1918. * London Irish Rifles, amalgamated 1992 * Liverpool Irish. * Royal Irish Artillery, amalgamated 1801. * Ulster Defence Regiment, amalgamated 1992 * 135th (Limerick) Regiment of Foot 1796 (highest regimental number of any British line regiment.)

The six regiments finally disbanded on 31 July 1922 were: * Royal Irish Regiment, disbanded 1922 * Connaught Rangers, disbanded 1922 * Leinster Regiment, disbanded 1922 * Royal Munster Fusiliers, disbanded 1922 * Royal Dublin Fusiliers, disbanded 1922 * South Irish Horse, disbanded 1922 '''See also''' * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_in_the_British_Armed_Forces Wikipedia Irish in the British Armed Forces] * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland_and_World_War_I Wikipedia Ireland and World War I] * [[Space:Irish_Military_Diaspora_England]]

[[Category: Jönköpings Regemente]] Regementet uppsatt den 27 juni 1623 som Jönköpings regemente (indelt den 13 maj 1685). Indraget 1927. Detta år slogs regementet samman med Kalmar regemente till Jönköpings-Kalmar regemente. Regementet heter numera Norra Smålands regemente. Regementet härstammar från de fänikor som sattes upp i Småland under 1500-talet. '''[[Vasa-12|Gustav II Adolf]]''' bildade ur dessa fänikor jämte fänikor från Östergötland ett landsregemente. Detta regemente delades sen år 1623 i två, Jönköpings regemente och Östgöta infanteriregemente. Jönköpings regemente skulle enligt 1634-års regeringsform tillsammans med ett regemente från Kronobergs län (Kronobergs regemente) bilda "Smålands regemente". Sammanslagningen genomfördes aldrig utan Jönköpings regemente förblev ett eget regemente. I 1634-års regeringsform omnämns regementet som det femte regementet. Regementet bestod av 48 korpraler och 926 soldater, varav 8 volontärer och 8 timmermän. {| cellpadding="2" style="float: center; width: 100%; margin-left: 1em; border-spacing: 1px; font-size: 90%; background: #ffa; " | colspan="2" style="text-align:center;font-size: 120%; " | |- style="text-align:center; |Kompani 1||138 soldater |- |Kompani 2||137 soldater |- |Kompani 3||137 soldater |- |Kompani 4||138 soldater |- |Kompani 5||138 soldater |- |Kompani 6||138 soldater |- |Kompani 7||137 soldater |- |Kompani 8||137 soldater |- |Summa||1.100 soldater |- |} ---- {| cellpadding="2" style="float: center; width: 100%; margin-left: 1em; border-spacing: 1px; font-size: 90%; background: #ffa; " | colspan="2" style="text-align:center;font-size: 120%; " | '''Generalmönstringar för Jönköping Regemente''' |- style="text-align:center; |Jönköping ||28-29 juli 1692 |- |Jönköping ||3-4 maj 1693 |- |Jönköping ||9 maj 1694 |- |Jönköping ||27-28 april 1696 |- |Jönköping ||26 april 1697 |- |Fieldinge ||22 november 1716 |- |Jönköping ||14 oktober 1717 |- |Pommern i Stralsund ||31 november 1717 |- |Jönköping ||2 oktober 1718 |- |Jönköping ||22 oktober 1719 |- |Stockholm ||19 augusti 1721 |- |Jönköping ||28 juni 1733 |- |Jönköping ||22 augusti 1739 |- |Stockholm på Galiärflottan ||2 juni 1741 |- |Stockholm ||8 maj 1742 |- |Jönköping ||12 november 1744 |- |Skillingaryd ||20 november 1744 |- |Jönköping ||26 november 1744 |- |Pommern i Wolgast ||3 januari 1759 |- |Pommern i Stralsund ||6 februari 1759 |- |Pommern i Wolgast ||17 november 1760 |- |Pommern i Grebor ||20 november 1761 |- |Jönköping ||6 september 1764 |- |Jönköping ||27 september 1770 |- |Jönköping ||1 juli 1775 |- |Skillingaryd ||22 juni 1778 |- |Bohult ||7 augusti 1778 |- |Jönköping ||2 november 1785 |- |Skillingaryd ||6 juni 1788 |- |Finland i Svenskby ||8 januari 1789 |- |Skillingaryd ||25 juni 1793 |- |Skillingaryd ||13 oktober 1800 |- |Skillingaryd ||20 juni 1803 |- |Skillingaryd ||20 juni 1806 |- |Pommern i Stralsund ||3 juni 1807 |- |Skillingaryd ||20 juni 1818 |- |Rommelsjö ||28 juni 1822 |- |Skillingaryd ||21 juni 1826 |- |Skillingaryd ||17 juni 1830 |- |Skillingaryd ||17 juni 1734 |- |Skillingaryd ||26 juni 1838 |- |Esperyd ||1 juli 1841 |- |Värnamo ||9 juli 1841 |- |Skillingaryd ||25 juni 1844 |- |Skillingaryd ||8 juni 1847 |- |Skillingaryd ||20 juni 1850 |- |Skillingaryd ||18 juni 1853 |- |Skillingaryd ||20 juni 1856 |- |Skillingaryd ||23 juni 1859 |- |Skillingaryd ||1 juli 1862 |- |Skillingaryd ||27 juni 1865 |- |Skillingaryd ||26 juni 1868 |- |Skillingaryd ||17 juni 1871 |- |Skillingaryd ||22 juni 1875 |- |Skillingaryd ||23 juni 1878 |- |Skillingaryd ||25 juni 1881 |- |}

[[Category: Kronoberg Regiment]] The regiment has its origins in companies (fänikor) raised in Kronoberg County in the 16th century. At that time Kronoberg and Kalmar counties formed the southern border of Sweden; land to the south was held by the Danish crown. Gustav II Adolf organized these units — along with fänikor from the nearby Kalmar County — in 1616 into Smålands storregemente (Småland's Grand Regiment), of which twelve of the total 24 companies were recruited in Kronoberg County. Smålands storregemente consisted of three field regiments, one of which was the Kronoberg Regiment. Some time around 1623, the grand regiment was permanently split into three smaller (county) regiments. Kronoberg Regiment was one of the original 20 Swedish infantry regiments mentioned in the Swedish constitution of 1634. The regiment's first commander was Patrick Ruthwen. Prior to 1682, the system for recruiting soldiers used forced conscription, but soldiers were given a means of subsistence between campaigns by making a group of farmers (a ''rote'') responsible for the upkeep of each soldier. While the soldiers would be hired and salaried full-time if at war, they lived at home and off duty in peacetime. This system allowed Sweden to keep an easily mobilized army available in case of war, without the level of expense required to maintain the men solely as soldiers. The system was reformed in 1682 and the reform remained in effect for over 200 years. From 1684 recruitment to the Kronoberg regiment was through the allotment system (Swedish: ''indelningsverket''; Finnish: ''ruotujakolaitos''). Soldiers were no longer forcibly conscripted, but were recruited. Each county or province had a contract to supply a regiment of between 1000 - 1200 men. A group of farms (usually four, the ''rote'') would join forces and equip a soldier and provide him with a croft (''soldattorp'' – a small area of farmland with which to support himself and his family and a simple house). His duties were to attend regular military drills and in time of war to report for duty. He often owed some days of work to the ''rote'', though this obligation could be filled using members of his family. Terms were normally for 20 years, so he was effectively a career soldier. He had to leave the croft upon retirement, and if a soldier were killed it was often the case that his successor, if single, had to agree to marry his predecessor's widow. This also had implications for names: a soldier would be given a "soldier name" that he used during the term of his service.
https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Sweden_Soldier_Names Information on soldier names and customs. At some times and in some areas these were fixed: a particular 'slot' went with a particular soldier name. In other instances the officers chose a name or even allowed the soldier to choose a name. The Kronoberg regiment was given the designation I 11 (11th Infantry Regiment) in a general order in 1816. Kronoberg Regiment was garrisoned in Växjö from 1920. In 1974, the regiment gained the new designation I 11/Fo 16 as a consequence of a merger with the local defence area Fo 16. The regiment was disbanded in 1997.

[[Category:United States Merchant Marine, World War II]] [[Category: Liberty Ships, United States Merchant Marine, World War II]] ==Liberty Ships of the United States Merchant Marine, World War II== ===Background=== The Liberty ship was a class of cargo ship built in the United States during World War II. Though British in conception, the design was adapted by the United States for its simple, low-cost construction. Mass-produced on an unprecedented scale, the Liberty ship came to symbolize U.S. wartime industrial output. {{Profile-box|They have brought us our lifeblood and they had paid for it with some of their own. I saw them bombed off the Philippines and in New Guinea ports. When it was humanly possible, when their ships were not blown out from under them by bombs or torpedoes, they have delivered their cargoes to us who needed them so badly. In war it is performance that counts. :::::Gen. Douglas MacArthur
Press Release/Odlin - Maritime 62: PR 2404 (W) WAR SHIPPING ADMINISTRATION Washington, Advance Release, Sunday Papers, October 14, 1945}} The class was developed to meet British orders for transports to replace ships that were torpedoed by German U-boats. The vessels were purchased both for the U.S. fleet and lend-lease deliveries of war materiel to Britain and the Soviet Union. Eighteen American shipyards built 2,710 Liberty ships between 1941 and 1945, easily the largest number of ships produced to a single design. Their production mirrored on a much larger scale the manufacture of the Hog Islander and similar standardized ship types during World War I. The immensity of the effort, the sheer number of ships built, the role of female workers in their construction, and the survival of some far longer than their original five-year design life, all make them the subject of much continued interest. Only three Liberty Ships are preserved, two as operational museum ships.

[[Category: Mesopotamian Campaign]] The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamian_campaign Mesopotamian campaign] was a campaign in the Middle Eastern theatre of World War I fought between the Allies represented by the British Empire, mostly troops from Britain and the Indian Empire, and the Central Powers, mostly of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire had conquered the region in the early 16th century, but never gained complete control. Regional pockets of Ottoman control through local proxy rulers maintained the Ottoman's reach throughout Mesopotamia (modern Iraq). With the turn of the 19th century came reforms. Work began on a Baghdad Railway in 1888; by 1915 it had only four gaps, and travel time from Istanbul to Baghdad had fallen to 21 days. The Anglo-Persian Oil Company had obtained exclusive rights to petroleum deposits throughout the Persian Empire, except in the provinces of Azerbaijan, Ghilan, Mazendaran, Asdrabad, and Khorasan. In 1914, before the war, the British government had contracted with the company for oil for the navy. The operational area of the Mesopotamian campaign was limited to the lands watered by the rivers Euphrates and Tigris. The main challenge was moving troops and supplies through the swamps and deserts which surrounded the area of conflict. Shortly after the European war started, the British sent a military force to protect Abadan, the site of one of the world's earliest oil refineries. British operational planning included landing troops in the Shatt-al-Arab. The reinforced 6th (Poona) Division of the British Indian Army was assigned the task, designated as Indian Expeditionary Force D (IEFD). Aside from oil, a major British interest in Mesopotamia, especially in the minds of politicians like Austen Chamberlain (Secretary of State for India) and former Viceroy Lord Curzon, was in maintaining British prestige in the eyes of India's Muslim population. At first the campaign was run by the India Office and Indian Army, with little input from the War Office. The Ottoman Fourth Army was located in the region. It was composed of two corps: the XII Corps, with the 35th and 36th Divisions at Mosul, and XIII Corps, with the 37th and 38th Divisions at Baghdad. On 29 October 1914, after the pursuit of Goeben and Breslau, Breslau bombarded the Russian Black Sea port of Theodosia. On 30 October the High Command in Istanbul changed the force distribution. On 2 November Grand Vizier Said Halim Pasha expressed regret to the Allies for the actions of the navy. Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Sazonov said it was too late and that Russia considered the raid an act of war. The Cabinet tried to explain that hostilities were begun without its sanction by German officers serving in the navy. The Allies insisted on reparations to Russia, the dismissal of German officers from the Goeben and Breslau, and the internment of the German ships until the end of the war, but before the Ottoman government could respond, Great Britain and France declared war on the Ottoman Empire on 5 November. The Ottoman Committee of Union and Progress's official Declaration of War came on 14 November. When the Caucasus Campaign became a reality with the Bergmann Offensive, Enver Pasha sent the 37th Division and XIII Corps Headquarters to the Caucasus in support of the Third Army. The entire XII Corps was deployed to the Sinai and Palestine Campaign. Fourth Army Headquarters was sent to Syria, to replace the Second Army Headquarters, which was sent to Istanbul. In place of the Fourth Army was the "Iraq Area Command" with only the 38th Division under its command. Mesopotamia was a low priority area for the Ottomans, and they did not expect any major action in the region. Regiments of the XII and XIII Corps were maintained at low levels in peacetime. Lieutenant Colonel Süleyman Askerî Bey became the commander. He redeployed portions of the 38th Division at the mouth of Shatt-al-Arab. The rest of the defensive force was stationed at Basra. The Ottoman General Staff did not even possess a proper map of Mesopotamia. They tried to draw a map with the help of people who had worked in Iraq before the war, although this attempt failed. Enver Pasha bought two German maps scaled 1/1,500,000.

This project is dedicated to those individuals who served as military musicians from all wars during all eras and during peacetime. It is not necessary that you have an ancestor who fits this description. If you have an interest in this subject, you are more than welcome to participate. Please review the project goals, and if you feel this is something that you would like to do, follow the steps under '''How to Join''' below. ==Mission== War has always been with us.
