Dawes Point Battery The Dawes Point Battery is an historical fortification that was located adjacent to the southern pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge at Dawes Point , New South Wales , Australia . History . The first known building to be constructed on the site of Point Maskelyne ( later renamed Dawes Point ) was an observatory constructed in early 1788 by Lieutenant William Dawes . A powder magazine was installed in 1789 followed by the Battery in 1791 . In 1798 , the Governor ' s concerns regarding the arrival of schooner " Argo " prompted defensive measures at the Battery . The battery was constructed under the direction of George Barney , one of Australia ’ s most important Colonial Engineers of the mid - 19th century . The site had previously been used as a cemetery for prisoners executed at Sydney Gaol ( 1797 - c1830 ) . The fort was expanded substantially in 1819 when Governor Lachlan Macquarie ordered convict Francis Greenway , who was an architect to design and construct a castellated fort at Dawes Point , which at the time was only meant to appear threatening to ships sailing into Sydney Harbour . In that same year sandstone blocks were quarried on site at Dawes Point Park for the construction of the fort . Dawes Point fort received many upgrades throughout the 19th century as new threats to Britain ’ s empire arose . The fortification was intended to be the first line of defence in the event of an attack by the Spanish in 1790 and further threats of Napoleon ’ s French troops in 1810 . In 1850 during the Crimean War , there were further fears of an attack by the Russian Pacific Fleet so the battery received additional subterranean powder magazines and occupancy was taken up by Royal Artillery . In this year the Dawes Point Battery became the command post for a series of fortifications that were built around the inner harbor , which included Fort Denison . Colonel George Barney was given the task renovating Sydney ’ s fortifications and an extension of Dawes Point in 1860 . Sydney ’ s Harbour defences had been relocated to the entrance of Port Jackson by the end of the 19th century , thus rendering Dawes Point obsolete . The battery was then used to store the Commandant of the Australian Military from 1901 and 1903 . Most of the fort was demolished in 1925 to make way for the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge . In 1932 the remaining buildings that served as a headquarters for Dorman and Long , the British company responsible for the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge were demolished and the whole area landscaped and set aside for public use .
Second Battle of Newtonia The Second Battle of Newtonia was fought on October 28 , 1864 , in Newton County , Missouri , as part of Major General Sterling Price ' s Missouri Expedition of the American Civil War . Price ' s Confederate cavalry force was in full retreat following its expedition into Missouri . On October 28 , 1864 , it stopped to rest about two miles ( 3 km ) south of Newtonia , Missouri . About 3 : 00 p . m . , Maj . Gen . James G . Blunt ' s Union cavalrymen spotted the rear of Price ’ s supply train entering the woods south of town on the Cassville road . McLain ' s Colorado Light Artillery , supported by the 15th Kansas Cavalry , opened on the rebels . Blunt formed the 16th Kansas and 2nd Colorado Cavalry in two lines and personally led a charge behind a screen of skirmishers toward the fleeing supply train . Most of the rebel skirmishers were in no condition ( physically or mentally ) to resist , and they were soon tumbling backwards . Brig . Gen . Joseph O . ( Jo ) Shelby ' s mounted infantry division , including his " Iron Brigade " , rode to the front , dismounted , and engaged the Union force . Shelby ' s men overlapped the flanks of the smaller Union force and forced it back into a large cornfield near the Matthew H . Ritchey estate . There , fighting raged until Federal cannon fire and reinforcements under Brig . Gen . John B . Sanborn finally caused the Confederates to retreat at nightfall . However , Shelby had accomplished his mission in holding up the Union pursuers . By morning , Price had retreated across the desolate prairie towards the Indian Territory . Despite the duration and ferocity of the firefight , casualties were rather light ( 400 for the Federals versus 250 for the Confederates ) . Today , most of the battlefield is in private hands . Twenty acres ( 81 , 000 m² ) , plus the Ritchey mansion , are owned by the Newtonia Battlefield Preservation Society .
Type 98 20 mm AAG Tank The Type 98 20 mm AAG Tank or Ho - Ki was a Japan ese self - propelled anti - aircraft gun using the Type 98 20 mm gun combined with the chassis of the Type 1 Ho - Ki armoured personnel carrier . The gun crew worked from a raised platform with a modest amount of protection from the sides - the twin 20 mm guns fired through a large gun shield gave further protection for the crew from that direction . During development of the Ho - Ki the Japanese Army experimented with various configurations . A single gun variant was the Ta - Se , from " Taikuu Sensha " ( " anti - air tank " ) . The Ta - Se was developed based on the failures of the Ki - To ; the Ta - Se had additional protection for the crew . Trial production of Ta - Se was completed in November 1941 , but adoption into service was cancelled because the hit ratio of the Ta - Se ' s single gun was inferior . Development of the twin gun Ho - Ki began in 1941 , and was cancelled in 1943 . Completion was planned for March 1944 .
