Lord Robert Manners ( Royal Navy officer ) Captain Lord Robert Manners ( 6 February 1758 – 23 April 1782 ) was an officer of the Royal Navy and nobleman , the second son of John Manners , Marquess of Granby and Lady Frances Seymour . Educated at Eton , he entered the Royal Navy in 1772 . As the son of one of the greatest soldiers of the time , and grandson of a duke , he expected rapid advancement in rank . However , Lord Sandwich , the First Lord of the Admiralty , resisted his promotion to lieutenant until he had served for six years , as regulations demanded . He was so promoted on 13 May 1778 aboard HMS " Ocean " , and saw action in July at the First Battle of Ushant . He was moved to " Victory " , flagship of Admiral Keppel , on 17 September 1778 . Shortly after his promotion to lieutenant , Manners again began to appeal to the Admiralty for preferment . He was moved into " Alcide " on 15 July 1779 , in the fleet of Admiral Rodney , then bound for Gibraltar . The urgings of the other Lords of the Admiralty , who reminded Sandwich of the political danger to himself and the North Ministry should they arouse the enmity of the Manners family , finally wore him down , and he wrote to Rodney on 8 December , asking him to contrive a promotion for Manners . Rodney lacked Sandwich ' s reservations about Manners , who proved a talented officer despite his ambition . The day after the Battle of Cape St . Vincent ( 17 January 1780 ) , he promoted Manners captain and made him flag - captain of " Resolution " under Sir Chaloner Ogle , newly promoted commodore . In March , he was returned as Member of Parliament for Cambridgeshire in absentia in a boisterous contest , but would never take his seat . " Resolution " returned to England after Cape St . Vincent , and went out to North America with Admiral Graves . Under Admiral Rodney , Manners took her to the West Indies ; Ogle was promoted rear - admiral and returned home during this period . " Resolution " went north to fight in the centre at the Battle of the Chesapeake ( 5 September 1781 ) , and then returned to the West Indies with Rear - Admiral Hood to fight at St Kitts in January 1782 . At the Battle of the Saintes ( 12 April 1782 ) , " Resolution " was in the centre of the line and saw heavy action . During the battle , one of Manners ' arms was broken , and both legs wounded , one so severely as to require amputation . Being of a strong constitution , it was hoped he might survive , and he was sent back to England aboard the frigate " Andromache " . However , tetanus set in , and he died on 23 April 1782 and was buried at sea . A painting of his death , titled " Lord Robert Manners Mortally Wounded , on board the Resolution in the memorable Engagement between Admiral Rodney & Count de Grasse , in the West Indies , the 12th of April 1782 . " was made for George Frederick Raymond ' s " History of England " , and is currently held by the National Maritime Museum

Al Anbar Provincial Security Force 2 , Iraqi Army demolition experts and U . S . Soldiers from 3rd Battalion , 69th Armor Regiment , 1st Brigade Combat Team , 3rd Infantry Division , Task Force Pathfinder ( with elements from the 321st Engineer Battalion and C company 397th Engineer company ) conducted the weeks long clearing operation , targeting one of the remaining hotspots in the brigade ’ s area of operations . TF Pathfinder spent long hours conducting route clearance , often on mission for more than 24 hours at a time , clearing IED threats so that Provincial Security Force 2 could complete their mission . Operation Forsythe Park started in the early morning hours of 26 April with multiple Coalition Soldiers being injured in the opening minutes of the Operation by IED ' s that had been emplaced months , even years ahead in certain areas designed to keep Coalition Forces out of the area . There were many acts of Valor performed by Soldiers daily that have yet to be recognized for the sacrifices they made so the Coalition Forces could complete the objective . “ We had seen an increased amount of enemy activity in this region over the last three weeks , ” said Col . John Charlton , commanding officer for 1BCT . “ Once we set the conditions and built sufficient combat power , we took the fight to the enemy and provided much needed relief to the population . ” " During the operation , Coalition forces were attacked almost daily by rocket propelled grenades , small arms fire , IED ' s ranging in size from 10 pounds to 150 - 200 pounds of explosives . There was also the constant threat of snipers , heavy machine gun fire , and improvised rockets . " Said Master Sergeant David Johnson of B Company 321st Engineer Battalion , TF Pathfinder . Call sign Wolf - 37 . " We would take over for another team that had been working on clearing the roads , and we would have vehicles blown up by an IED that had been dug into the sides of the elevated roads , that left no visual clues , before we had reached the limit of advance from the previous route clearance team . Speed was a killer , 1 - 2 miles an hour was a good pace and the Soldiers in the lead vehicles got very good at their jobs of spotting thin copper wire , or what was referred to as a ' snail trail ' in the dirt roads , or cracks in paved portions . " Result . The multiple day operation marks the eighth large - scale operation for the brigade this year . The police and soldiers discovered multiple weapon caches , including 28 improvised explosive devices , three 14 . 5 mm anti - aircraft guns , five mortars , 300 pounds of home made explosives , 2200 gallons of nitric acid and 200 blasting caps . Six coalition service members several Iraqi Soldiers and police , along with multiple terrorists were killed during the operation . [ Personal mission notes from Master Sergeant David Johnson ]
