The army was made responsible for the Ussuri area with its headquarters at Voroshilov ' ( now Ussuriysk ) . It was soon renamed the 1st Separate Red Banner Army . Its initial commander was the later Marshal of the Soviet Union , Andrei Yeremenko . Several border skirmishes between the Red Army and the Imperial Japanese Army , such as the Battle of Halhin Gol took place until , in July 1940 , two years after its formation , the 1st Coastal Army was renamed the 1st Red Banner Army in the far east .

Chevalier de Johnstone James Johnstone ( 1719 – c . 1800 ) , also known as Chevalier de Johnstone , and who sometimes signed himself as Johnstone de Moffatt was an army officer who took part in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 and the Seven Years ' War . He is notable for his memoirs . Johnstone joined the Jacobite Army in Perth shortly after the raising of the standard at Glenfinnan in 1745 . He was twenty - six years old , and according to John Prebble , was " as proud of his kinship with Scots nobility as any Highlander " . He served as aide - de - camp both to Lord George Murray and to Charles Edward Stuart , and fought with the Jacobites through the remainder of the campaign . He was present at the Battle of Culloden and , according to his memoirs , charged to within 20 yards of the Government lines before taking flight with the rest of the Jacobites . After Culloden , Johnstone had a number of narrow escapes , he hid in the Highlands for a while before deciding to venture to Edinburgh where he had more friends who could aid his escape . He later went to London , finally making his way to Holland disguised as a servant to Lady Jean Douglas . Johnstone later served the French in Canada , and wrote an account of the campaign of 1760 .
Soviet submarine B - 59 Soviet submarine " B - 59 " ( ) was a Project 641 or Foxtrot - class diesel - electric submarine of the Soviet Navy . It played a key role in the Cuban Missile Crisis , when senior officers – believing they were under attack – considered launching a nuclear torpedo with an 10 kiloton warhead . Background . On October 1 , 1962 , " B - 59 " , as the flagship of a flotilla with its sister ships " B - 36 " , " B - 4 " and " B - 130 " , sailed from its base on the Kola Peninsula , to the Caribbean Sea in support of Soviet arms deliveries to Cuba ( an operation known to the Soviets as " Anadyr " ) . However , on October 27 , the United States Navy – in the form of the aircraft carrier USS " Randolph " and 11 destroyer s – detected " B - 59 " near Cuba . US vessels began dropping practice depth charges ( with low energy explosives ) , attempting to force the submarine to the surface for positive identification . Messages from the USN , that practice depth charges were being used , never reached " B - 59 " or , it seems , Soviet naval HQ . Nuclear Launch . " B - 59 " had not been in contact with Moscow for a number of days and , although the submarine ' s crew had earlier been picking up US civilian radio broadcasts , once they began attempting to hide from its pursuers , it was too deep to monitor any radio traffic , so those on board did not know if war had broken out . The captain of the submarine , Valentin Grigorievitch Savitsky , believing that a war might already have started , wanted to launch the nuclear torpedo . The three primary officers on board – Captain Valantin Savitsky , the political officer Ivan Semonovich Maslennikov , and entire - sub - flotilla commander Vasili Arkhipov , who was equal in rank to Savitsky and also second - in - command of B - 59 – were authorized to launch the torpedo only if they all agreed unanimously to do so . But Arkhipov alone opposed the launch and eventually persuaded Savitsky to surface the submarine and await orders from Moscow . This presumably averted nuclear warfare which would likely have ensued had the torpedo been fired . As the submarine ' s batteries had run very low and its air - conditioning had failed , " B - 59 " was forced to surface and use its diesel engine , amid the US warships pursuing it . " B - 59 " then set course for the USSR . Although not necessarily known to either the author or subsequent film makers , events surrounding the B - 59 standoff are somewhat similar to those portrayed in The Bedford Incident .
Beardmore W . B . 2 The Beardmore W . B . 2 , also known as the Beardmore W . B . II was a British fighter monoplane prototype of the 1910s . Development . A two - seat fighter of wooden construction , the W . B . 2 was built as a private venture by William Beardmore and Company , based on an original design called the B . E . 2c designed by G . Tilghman - Richards in . Powered by a 200 hp Hispano - Suiza 8B d engine , it carried two guns and design finished early in 1917 with the production of the first prototype . Operational history . The W . B . 2 was first flown on 30 August 1917 , and performance proved good . However , the Air Ministry deemed that the 8Bd engine , at that time in short supply , was needed more urgently for use in the S . E . 5a fighter at that time serving with the Royal Flying Corps in World War I . As such , no further production of the W . B . 2 took place , however in 1920 two civil examples were produced , named the W . B . IIB .

Vilain I of Aulnay Vilain of Aulnay ( ) was a French knight from Aulnay - l ' Aître in the Champagne who became marshal of the Latin Empire of Constantinople and first Baron of Arcadia in the Principality of Achaea . In the Greek version of the " Chronicle of the Morea " , he is attested as , a form which passed to the other versions of the " Chronicle " as Anoé , Annoée or Anoée . Life . Vilain was seemingly the son of Oudard d ' Aulnay , a Champenois nobleman who in 1206 succeeded Geoffrey of Villehardouin as marshal of Champagne , after the latter left to join the Fourth Crusade . The scholar J . Longnon considers it possible , but not verifiable , that Oudard ' s mother was a sister of Villehardouin . Oudard had three sons , Erard , Geoffrey and Vilain . The former two remained in Champagne , while Vilain soon departed to seek his fortune in the Latin Orient . Vilain is attested for the first time in the Latin Empire in 1229 , when he was sent , along with Ponce of Lyon , by the barons of the Empire to offer the regency over the young Baldwin II of Constantinople to John of Brienne . In 1238 , he is already attested as " Marshal of Romania " ( i . e . the Latin Empire ) in the treaty whereby the Crown of Thorns was pawned to the Venetian Nicholas Quirini for the sum of 13 , 134 gold " hyperpyra " . In 1234 , he was possibly sent on a diplomatic mission to the Queen of France , Blanche of Castille , on behalf of Baldwin II . It appears that Vilain undertook frequent journeys to France , and in February 1249 , his cousin , the Prince of Achaea William II of Villehardouin , ceded him in a letter to Thibaud IV , Count of Champagne , the proceeds of all the estates of the Villehardouin family in Champagne . In 1261 , with the reconquest of Constantinople by the Byzantines and the collapse of the Latin Empire , Vilain was one of those nobles who fled to the court of Achaea . There William II , created for him a new barony out of lands taken from the princely domain , the Barony of Arcadia . Vilain died ca . 1269 , and was succeeded by his sons , Erard I and Geoffrey .
RWGŁ - 3 The RWGŁ - 3 is a non - lethal police rifle grenade launcher used to dispense tear gas , developed in the 1970s by a group of engineers from the state - owned research institute OBR Radom . In order to cut production costs it was designed around AKM assault rifle components . After several years ' worth operational use of expensive RWGŁ - 1 and failed RWGŁ - 2 development project , in 1978 it became a standard - issue grenade launcher of Milicja Obywatelska and stays in use by current Policja . Its regular ammunition is Polish UGŁ - 200 canister with affecting mucous membranes CN gas , however use of East Germany RWK grenade was possible too . In 1984 its capabilities were enhanced by SZO - 84 adapter , effectively converting it into a netgun . Basing on RWGŁ - 3 a heavier automatic grenade launcher was developed to be mounted on UAZ - 469 and STAR trucks .

Bates Battlefield The Bates Battlefield ( Arapaho : Kóúwoo ' óé ' ) was the scene of an 1874 action in which an Arapaho encampment was attacked by U . S . Army forces under Captain Alfred E . Bates . The battlefield is a narrow valley in Hot Springs County , Wyoming near the junction of the Big Horn Mountains and the Owl Creek Mountains . Variously called the Bates Battle , the Battle of Young ' s Point , the Battle of Snake Mountain and the Nowood Battle , the action was part of a campaign by forces under the command of Lieutenant General Philip Sheridan to protect the comparatively sedentary Shoshone under Chief Washakie from raids by their traditional enemies , the Northern Cheyenne , the Sioux and the Northern Arapaho . In June 1874 , " Sioux , Cheyenne , and Arapaho warriors decided to attack the Wind River Shoshones . As the invaders crossed the Big Horn Mountains , they had a disagreement about the purpose of their trip . Some claimed it was a raid for murder and the spoils of war ; others said it was to steal horses . Because of the disagreement , the Arapahoes refused to participate . " Sheridan ordered Bates to raid the Arapaho camp , reported to comprise between 40 and 112 lodges . On July 1 , 1874 , Bates set forth leading Company B , 2nd Cavalry with 63 cavalrymen , 20 white and Shoshone scouts under Lieutenant R . H . Young , and a party of 167 Shoshone under Washakie . Bates led thirty cavalrymen and twenty Shoshone against the encampment , occupied by Black Coal ' s people , at daybreak on July 4 . Lt . Young took his scouts around to the other end of the village . Fighting went well at first for Bates ' force , but the Arapaho moved to a nearby height and began to fire down onto Bates ' raiders . Bates withdrew from the village without recovering his own dead . , suffering four killed and five or six wounded , while reporting 25 Arapaho killed and 100 wounded . Other reports indicate the Arapaho suffered as few as ten casualties . Bates captured 350 horses of the 1200 to 1400 head associated with the village . Bates blamed his lack of overall success on the noise made by the Shoshone . Accounts of the battle by different parties reveal wide discrepancies in perceptions of the motivation , progress , and outcome of the fight . The Bates Battlefield was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 .
