Fricourt German war cemetery Fricourt German war cemetery is near the village of Fricourt , near Albert , in the French département of the Somme . Most of the fallen were members of the Imperial German 2nd Army . Of the 17 , 000 burials , about 1 , 000 died in the autumn of 1914 and the ensuing trench warfare ; about 10 , 000 during the Battle of the Somme ( July – November 1916 ) ; and the final 6 , 000 in the Spring Offensive of 1918 and the ensuing Allied counter - attack , the Hundred Days offensive . History . The cemetery was established by the French military authorities in 1920 and concentrates burials from " some 79 communes in the regions around Bapaume , Albert , Combles , the Ancre valley and Villers - Bretonneux " . About 5 , 000 of the burials are mostly in shared double graves ; the remainder lie in four communal graves . Among those buried there at one time was the famous German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen , the Red Baron , who was killed on April 21 , 1918 in aerial combat and buried with military honours by the Australians . Later his remains were transferred first to Fricourt , then to the Invalidenfriedhof Cemetery in Berlin , and finally to a family plot in Wiesbaden . In 1929 , the German War Graves Commission started working on the German military grave registration service and landscaping the cemetery . It received a new entrance with stairs and wrought - iron gate and trees and bushes was planted . The community graves got a verge made of natural stone and a planting with game roses . A wooden high cross served as a central mark ; however a problem remained of a durable and long term marking for the graves . In 1939 , the eruption of the Second World War saw a suspension of the Commission ' s work . After the conclusion of the French - German war grave agreement , from 19 July 1966 the German War Graves Commission could begin German military grave registration service with the final organization of the German military cemeteries in France dating from the First World War . Starting from 1977 , the provisional wood grave markers were exchanged with those made of metal with raised names and dates , where possible . The German Federal Armed Forces took over the construction of the concrete foundations necessary for setting up the metal crosses , which were shifted mostly by participants in youth camps . Some 5 , 057 soldiers are buried in single graves , with 114 remaining unknown . Four communal graves contain 11 , 970 burials . There are also 14 graves for Jewish soldiers , marked with a headstone instead of a cross . The Hebrew characters mean " XXX rests buried " and " their soul may be enwoven into the circle of the living persons . " From the late 1960s to the early 1970s a fundamental change in the landscape gardening took place , which extended to the renewal of the hedge and the bricked edge of the community graves . New trees and shrubs were planted and the existing wooden high cross was replaced with one of forged steel .

Jasta 2 ' s Leutnant Carl Menckhoff was credited with the victory , although a German 2 - seater also claimed a SPAD at this time and place .

The cup was meant to be in honor of McKay ' s " athletic manhood and enthusiasm for sport " . In November 2007 a fourth year history class at King ’ s University College placed a commemorative marker in McKay ’ s memory on the University of Western Ontario campus .
Mobile Assault Platoon A Mobile Assault Platoon ( also known as MAP platoon , or MAP ) is a platoon in a Mobile Assault Company , usually in the United States Marine Corps , that patrols in convoys as opposed to by foot . The benefits of the vehicles are speed and mobility . Unfortunately the vehicles are imposing and make it more difficult to interact with the local population . MAP platoons are usually more heavily armed , since the humvee provides armored protection and allows for a powerful weapon ( a heavy machine gun , for example ) to be mounted on top of the vehicle . MAP platoons , being vehicle - borne , are also susceptible to IED s and are easy targets if their patrol routes become predictable . Some MAP patrols use a combination of foot patrols and vehicle patrols depending on the volatility of the area .

Allahverdi Khan Allahverdi Khan ( , ) ( ca . 1560 – June 3 , 1613 ) was an Iranian general and statesman of Georgian origin who , initially a " ghulām " ( " military slavery " ) , rose to high office in the Safavid state . Biography . Allahverdi was born a Christian Georgian , surnamed Undiladze , and , like many of his compatriots and fellow Christian Armenians and Circassians , was taken prisoner in the course of one of the Caucasian campaigns of Shah Abbas I of Persia and converted to Islam to be trained for service in the ghulam army , a special military structure consisting of Christian captives and created by Abbas I to counterpoise the power of the Turkic Kizilbash , which constituted the nucleus of he Safavid military aristocracy . In 1589 , he took part in the assassination of the powerful minister ( " wakil " ) and kingmaker Morshed - Kholi Khan Ostaglu , who was secretly condemned to death by Shah Abbas . As a result , he was made sultan and a governor of Jorpadagan near Isfahan , the Safavid capital . He then rapidly rose to higher offices and was appointed commander of the ghulam army , thus becoming one of the five principal officers in the Safavid administration by 1595 / 6 . In the same year , Abbas appointed him the governor of Fars , a move that made him the fist ghulam to attain equal status with the Kizilbash emir s . This act also meant that the large provinces would no longer be administered by semi - autonomous and frequently self - minded Kizilbash emirs , but by officers appointed directly by the shah . In 1596 / 7 , he was transferred to the governorship of Kohgiluyeh . In August 1598 , Allahverdi Khan , as a " sardar - e - lashkar " ( commander - in - chief ) , was instrumental in recovering Herat from the Uzbek tribes and shortly after this victory was ordered by the shah to put a powerful Kizilbash emir Farhad Khan Qaramanli to death . This act turned Allahverdi Khan into the most powerful man in the Persian Empire after the shah . From 1600 onwards , counseled by the English gentleman of fortune , Sir Robert Sherley , he reorganized the army and strengthened it by increasing the number of ghulam troops from 4 , 000 to 25 , 000 . Allahverdi Khan led the Persian armies in a number of successful campaigns on both the eastern and the western frontiers of the Safavid empire , including the 1601 - 2 conquest of Bahrain . He died on 3 June 1613 . Legacy . He is remembered for having constructed a number of public buildings , including the well - known Pol - e Sio - Seh bridge across the Zayandeh River in Isfahan which bears his name to this day , and charitable foundations .
