Sancho Ramírez Sancho Ramírez ( c . 1042 – 4 June 1094 ) was King of Aragon ( 1063 – 1094 , not formally until 1076 ) and King of Navarre ( from 1076 , as Sancho V ) . He was the son of Ramiro I of Aragon and Ermesinda of Bigorre , and he succeeded his father in 1063 . Between 1067 and 1068 , the War of the Three Sanchos involved him in a conflict with his first cousins , both also named Sancho : Sancho IV the king of Navarre and Sancho II the king of Castile , respectively . The Castilian Sancho was trying to retake Bureba and Alta Rioja , which his father had given away to the king of Navarre and failed to retake . The Navarrese Sancho begged the aid of the Aragonese Sancho to defend his kingdom . Sancho of Castile defeated the two cousins and retook both Bureba and Alta Rioja , as well as Álava . Sancho Ramírez followed his father ' s practice , not using the royal title early in his reign even though his state had become fully independent . This changed in 1076 , when Sancho IV of Navarre was murdered by his own siblings , thus prompting a succession crisis in this neighboring kingdom that represented Aragon ' s nominal overlord . At first , the murdered king ' s young son , García , who had fled to Castile , was recognized as titular king by Alfonso VI , while Sancho Ramírez recruited to his side noblemen of Navarre who resented their kingdom falling under Alfonso ' s influence . The crisis was resolved by partition . Sancho Ramírez was elected King of Navarre , while he ceded previously contested western provinces of the kingdom to Alfonso . From this time , Sancho refers to himself as king not only of Navarre but also Aragon . Sancho conquered Barbastro in 1064 , Graus in 1083 , and Monzón in 1089 . He was defeated by El Cid , who was raiding his lands and those of his Muslim allies , at the Battle of Morella , probably in 1084 . He perished in 1094 at the battle of Huesca , supposedly from an arrow while inspecting the walls of the Muslim stronghold . Sancho contracted his first marriage in , to Isabella ( died ) , daughter of Count Armengol III of Urgel . They were divorced 1071 . His second marriage , in 1076 , was with Felicia ( died 3 May 1123 ) , daughter of Count Hilduin III of Roucy . A third marriage — to Philippa of Toulouse — is sometimes given , but contemporary evidence records him as still married to Felicia at the time of his death . He was father of four sons : by Isabella , he had Peter , his successor ; by Felicia he had Ferdinand , who was alive in 1086 but died within the next decade , Alfonso , who succeeded Peter , and Ramiro , who succeeded Alfonso .

This is one among the five commands of IAF . This command was started on 19 July 1984 and is relatively new among the other commands .

Air - sea rescue in the Indian Ocean may be among the command ' s tasks .

The city was transferred to the British in 1844 . The British lost control of the city during the Revolt of 1857 , and the city was recaptured by Sir Hugh Rose on February 14 , 1858 . Richard Harte Keatinge was awarded the Victoria Cross for leading this assault . The city was transferred back to the Sindhias of Gwalior in 1861 , and became part of Isagarh District of Gwalior state . After India ' s independence in 1947 , Gwalior became part of the new state of Madhya Bharat , which was merged into Madhya Pradesh on November 1 , 1956 . References .

Stotzas Stotzas ( ) , also Stutias , was an East Roman ( Byzantine ) soldier and leader of a military rebellion in the Praetorian prefecture of Africa in the 530s . Stotzas served as a bodyguard of the general Martinus in the army under Belisarius that had conquered the Vandal kingdom in Africa in 533 – 534 . In 536 , a military mutiny broke out in the Byzantine army in Africa against its leader , Solomon . The rebels chose Stotzas to lead them , and aimed to expel the imperial loyalists and establish Africa as a separate state , ruled by themselves . Stotzas marched against the capital , Carthage , with an army of 8 , 000 men , joined by at least a thousand surviving Vandals and several escaped slaves . He besieged the city , which was on the point of surrendering when Belisarius suddenly arrived from Sicily . Stotzas lifted the siege and retreated to Membresa , where his army was defeated by Belisarius . The rebels fled into Numidia , where Stotzas persuaded most of the Byzantine garrison to join him , after murdering their officers ; according to the historian Procopius , at this point two thirds of the Byzantine army in Africa had gone over to the rebel camp . Belisarius had to return to Italy to prosecute the war against the Ostrogoths , but he was replaced by Emperor Justinian ' s able cousin Germanus in late 536 . Germanus ' s policy to win over the disaffected troops with promises of pardon and the payment of their arrears was successful , and a large part of the rebels went over to him . Hence , Stotzas resolved to force a decision , and marched against him in spring 537 . The two armies met at Scalas Veteres , and Stotzas , abandoned by many of his allies , was defeated . Stotzas was able to flee with a handful of followers to Mauretania , where he was welcomed , given the daughter of a local prince in marriage , and allegedly raised to king in 541 . In 544 , however , he and the Moorish king Antalas rebelled against Byzantine rule . Stotzas and his men joined Antalas , but were attacked by the general John in autumn 545 , despite being heavily outnumbered . In the ensuing battle of Thacia , John was able to inflict a mortal wound on Stotzas , although he too fell soon after .
Carrier Corps The Carrier Corps was a military organisation created in Kenya in World War I to provide military labour to support the British campaign against the German Military forces in East Africa , commanded by Paul von Lettow - Vorbeck . Whereas von Lettow armed and trained African Askaris to create an effective guerrilla force able to live off the land ; the British attempted to deploy Indian Army troops under General Smuts and keep the King ' s African Rifles as internal security troops , with limited success . Not only were they unused to the terrain , the need to feed a large body of foreign soldiers presented severe logistical problems , as troops in the interior had to be supplied over long distances without rail or road lines of communication . To deliver one kilogram of rice to the interior it could take 50 kilograms of rice at the coast — most of it being consumed en route to feed all the porters needed to carry it inland . The British Administration formed a military labour organisation , the Carrier Corps , which ultimately recruited or conscripted over 400 , 000 African men for porterage and other support tasks . The effect on many of the native East African population , then still largely tribal , of being mobilised and then enduring considerable suffering for a remote and largely irrelevant foreign cause had significant effects in the long term , both highlighting the fallibility of the European presence in Africa ( as armed askaris readily killed white men ) , and raising the political awareness of Africans as to the need to stand up for their own interests . The organisation of the carrier corps was a remarkable feat of improvisation by a small number of officials of the East African Protectorate ' s administration , under a District Commissioner Lt Col Oscar Ferris Watkins . Watkins and his officials faced a constant struggle against the British military ' s excessive demands upon the Carriers and to conscript further native manpower . The Carrier Corps is commemorated on the War Memorial in Kenyatta Avenue , Nairobi . The 14 , 000 men of the Northern Rhodesian contingent of the Carrier Corps are commemorated on the War Memorial at the entrance to the town of Mbala ( formerly Abercorn ) in Northern Zambia . They came from across the territory , with a large contingent from what was then Barotseland in North Western Rhodesia . The Barotse were recruited by the British South Africa Company Native Commissioner , John Henry Venning , who marched with them to the East African border . Several East African towns have quarters named after the carrier corps presumably because members of the corps were given housing in these places . Such quarters include " Kariakor " in Nairobi and quarters called " Kariakoo " in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma .

During the battle , he forced HMS " Majestic " to break off combat with 50 killed , including Captain Westcott , and 143 wounded . After having lost both legs and an arm , he continued to command from a bucket filled with wheat , until he died . His last order was allegedly to nail the flag of the " Tonnant " to her mizzen - mast and never to surrender the ship . The " Tonnant " was eventually captured by the British .
