Battle of Nîmes The Battle of Nîmes took place shortly after the capture and destruction of Avignon in 736 . Charles Martel failed to capture the Umayyad city of Narbonne but devastated most of the other principal settlements of Septimania , including Nîmes , Agde , Béziers and Maguelonne , which he viewed as potential strongholds of the Saracens . The city of Nîmes ( Chronicle of Fredegar ) and the Roman amphitheatre ( turned into a fortress by the Visigoths ) were destroyed under the orders of Charles Martel . Charles probably may have taken Narbonne had he been willing to commit his army and full resources for an indefinite siege , but he was not willing to do so . He had accomplished his primary goals by destroying the Arab armies . The Arabs were temporarily contained to the city of Narbonne , though a second expedition was needed later that year to regain control of Provence after Arab forces returned . According to Paul the Deacon ' s " Historia Langobardorum " the Arabs retreated when they learned that Martel had formed an alliance with the Lombards . Martel ' s remaining years - he had only four to live - were spent setting up and strengthening the administrative structure that became the Carolingian Empire , and the feudal state that would persist through the Dark Ages . His son would return in 759 and finish his father ' s work by taking Narbonne and driving the Emirate of Cordova back over the Pyrenees .

A single - engined biplane that was designed and developed by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal as a reconnaissance aircraft for the Imperial Japanese Navy , 320 were built as the Type 14 Reconnaissance Seaplane , entering service in 1925 and remained in operational service until 1932 . Development and design . In 1921 , the Japanese Naval Arsenal at Yokosuka started design of a single - engined reconnaissance floatplane to replace the Navy ' s Yokosuka Ro - go Ko - gata floatplanes . The resulting aircraft , the Type 10 Reconnaissance Seaplane was designed by a team led by a member of a visiting delegation from Short Brothers of the United Kingdom . It was a single - engined two - bay , two - seat biplane powered by a 400 hp ( 298 kW ) Lorraine - Dietrich engine . Two were completed in 1923 , but showed poor performance due to being overweight . A modified aircraft , the Type 10 Model A flew in 1924 , showing only slight improvement , while a further revised prototype , the Model B flew in 1925 , this curing the aircraft ' s weight problems while demonstrating better stability and control . As a result , several pre - production Type Bs were built . Although the Type 10 was not adopted by the Japanese Navy , it was again redesigned , reducing the wingspan from 16 . 16 m ( 53 ft 0¼ in ) to 13 . 99 m ( 45 ft 11 in ) and reducing the empty weight from 1 , 912 kg ( 4 , 215 lb ) to 1 , 660 kg ( 3 , 659 lb ) . In this form , the revised design was accepted in January 1926 as the Type 14 Reconnaissance Seaplane , later receiving the short designation E1Y . Two versions entered service in 1926 , a two - seater powered by a Lorraine - Dietrich 1 V - 12 engine , the Type 14 - 1 or E1Y1 , and a three - seater with all - metal floats and a more powerful Lorraine - Dietrich 2 W engine . In 1928 , the Type 14 - 2 was used as the basis for the Type 90 - 3 Reconnaissance Seaplane , of which about 20 were built as the Yokosuka E5Y1 and Kawanishi E5K1 . As the Type 90 - 3 showed little improvement over the Type 14 - 2 from which it was developed , in 1931 , Yokosuka developed the further refined Type 14 - 3 Reconnaissance aircraft , with a new tail , a geared Lorraine - Dietrich 3 engine and significantly improved performance . A total of 218 E1Y1 and E1Y2s were built by Yokosuka ( 23 ) , Nakajima Aircraft Company ( 47 ) and Aichi ( 148 ) . 102 E1Y3s were built by Aichi . Operational history . The E1Y1 and E1Y2 entered service in 1926 , replacing Yokosuka Ro - Go Ko - Gata and Hansa - Brandenburg W . 33 seaplanes , with the E1Y3 following them into service from 1931 . The E1Ys formed the main reconnaissance seaplane equipment of the fleet , operating from battleship s and seaplane tender s . E1Ys were operated from the seaplane tender " Notoro " during the Shanghai Incident of early 1932 . The E1Y remained in use until the early part of the Second Sino - Japanese War . Many E1Ys were sold as civil aircraft from 1932 , usually converted with a cabin for three or four passengers . Some were fitted with Napier Lion engines .
Belgian Expeditionary Corps in Russia The Belgian Expeditionary Corps of Armoured Cars in Russia ( ) was a Belgian military formation during the First World War which was sent to Russia to fight the German Army on the Eastern Front . Between late 1915 and 1918 , 444 Belgian soldiers served with the unit and 16 were killed in action . History . As the front line in the west stabilized after the Battle of the Yser , the large numbers of armoured cars produced in the early years of the war by the Minerva Motor Company Ltd ( based in Antwerp ) found themselves redundant . It was only when Tsar Nicholas II made a formal request to King Albert of the Belgians in early 1915 , asking for a small , mobile force that these could be used . As Belgium was not an official ally of the Russian Empire , soldiers in the unit were considered as volunteers in the Imperial Russian Army . A British armoured car unit of a similar size , known as the British Armoured Car Expeditionary Force ( or ACEF ) also served in Russia . The first contingent of the Belgian Expeditionary Corps , some 333 volunteers equipped with Minerva Armoured Cars , arrived in Archangel in October 1915 . The unit fought valiantly in Galicia and was mentioned in the Order of the Day five times . After the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 , the Belgian force remained in Russia until the Treaty of Brest - Litovsk withdrew Russia from the war . After the ceasefire , the unit found itself in hostile territory . As the route north to Murmansk was blocked , the soldiers destroyed their armoured cars to prevent their capture by Bolshevik forces . The unit finally reached the United States through China and the Trans - Siberian railway and in June 1918 . Members . The unit was never particularly numerous , but included some notable personnel : Commemoration .
