Auguste was a full rigged sailing ship which sank at Aspy Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in 1761 while carrying exiles from the fall of New France.
 "Auguste" was a former French privateer ship which had been captured by the British and converted to a merchant ship.
 In September 1761, she was hired by the British government to transport French exiles and prisoners of war from Montreal to France.
 For the voyage, she was under the command of Joseph Knowles, an English sea captain.
 The ship was unarmed and carried 121 passengers and crew.
 Almost immediately upon clearing the mouth of the St. Lawrence on October 28, she encountered a week of contrary winds followed by a nor'west gale and heavy seas which badly damaged the ship.
 Leaking heavily with an exhausted crew and damaged rigging, the captain sought a sheltered harbour in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
 However Knowles was unable to find a safe refuge as "Auguste" carried only charts of the French coast.
 The ship struck land on the northeastern side of Cape Breton Island near an inlet known as Aspy Bay.
 Only seven of the 121 made it to shore alive.
 These included the captain, the merchant Luc de la Corne, two soldiers, two servants, and one discharged soldier.

The Bezen Perrot (German: "Bretonische Waffenverband der SS" , English: Perrot Unit ) was a Breton collaborationist force founded on 11 November 1943, during the German occupation of France.
 It was led by Célestin Lainé who formed it out of Lu Brezhon, a Breton separatist militia.
 During the course of the World War II it participated in anti-partisan operations under the direction of the German Sicherheitsdienst.
 Following the German defeat in Operation Overlord it was evacuated into Germany, where it dissolved in the aftermath of the German capitulation.
 Part of the group including Lainé managed to evade arrest, while others were imprisoned or executed in the post war pursuit of wartime collaborators.
 Bezen Perrot left a legacy of brutality, hampering future attempts to form an independent Breton state.

 The Chilean soldiers led by Colonel Alejandro Gorostiaga decisively defeated the Peruvian army commanded by General Andrés Avelino Cáceres near the town of Huamachuco.

Formed in March 1919, the division became part of the famed 1st Cavalry Army in the fall of that year, and fought in the Red Army's successful counteroffensive against the Armed Forces of South Russia.
 After Denikin's defeat in the spring of 1920, the division and the 1st Cavalry Army were transferred northwestwards to fight in the Polish–Soviet War, where they recaptured Kiev.
 During the summer of 1920 the division and the army became bogged down in the Battle of Lwów, which resulted in Soviet defeat to the north in the Battle of Warsaw, and the reinforcing 1st Cavalry Army was defeated when it attempted to intervene in the latter.
 This began a disorganized Soviet retreat, which the army participated in.
 The division and its army were transferred to Crimea, where Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel led the remnants of the White Army.
 After the evacuation of remaining White forces from Crimea, the division was moved to Belarus, where it remained for the interwar period.
 In 1939 and 1940, the 6th Division participated in the Soviet invasion of Poland and the Soviet occupation of Lithuania.
 After returning to Belarus at the conclusion of the Lithuanian occupation, the division was destroyed in the June 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union and officially disbanded in September.
Préfontaine is a family surname of French-Canadian origin.
 All Préfontaines in North America are descended from Antoine Fournier "dit Préfontaine" (born in 1663 in Picardie, France; died in 1702 in Montréal, Canada).
 He was a French soldier and a barrel cooper by trade in the Compagnie de Troyes, Troupes de la Marine.
 At the time it was common for French soldiers to adopt a nom de guerre often in reference to a trade, a place or a military rank.
 Antoine's nom de guerre was "dit Préfontaine", French for "field ("pré") with a spring ("fontaine")".
 He arrived in New France in August 1685 and took part in Chevalier Pierre de Troyes successful raid on several English trading posts in the Hudson Bay and James Bay regions from March to October 1686 (Hudson Bay expedition (1686)).
 He married Marie Ronceray in 1688 in Longueuil, Québec.
 Antoine's only son, Adrien (1693–1760), was an important businessman and a major figure in the economic development of New France.
 Adrien in turn had a son by the same name, who was a slave owner and was killed at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham on September 13, 1759.
 By the early-to-mid-19th century, the various families descended from Antoine dropped the Fournier part of the surname in favour of Préfontaine.
 Two brothers from Longueuil, Québec, Alexis and Toussaint Fournier dit Préfontaine, participated in the initial engagement of the Lower Canada Rebellion, the Chambly Road incident of November 17, 1837.
 The rebels were inspired by the ideals of the American Revolution, republicanism and the desire for responsible and representative government.
 Alexis, an officer in the militia, resigned his commission the day before joining the Rebellion.
 When the Rebellion collapsed in November 1838, and after proudly admitting their active participation, even under the possible penalty of death or exile, both brothers were to spend a year in jail along with 1,100 other Patriotes.
 Two of Toussaint's sons, Raymond and François-Xavier, went on to have notable careers in their respective professions (see below).
 During the second half of the 19th century, several Préfontaine families emigrated from Québec to New England, the Midwest and the North-West of the United States.
 Others emigrated to Western Canada, notably to Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
