Krupp 13 . 5 cm FK 1909 The Krupp 13 . 5 cm ( 5 . 31 in ) FK 1909 was introduced into German service in 1909 , however by 1914 only 16 had been built . Production was accelerated when war began , but in 1915 it was withdrawn from service and replaced with guns capable of higher angles of elevation and longer range . Later in the war the FK 1909 was brought back into service due to attrition and shortages . A sprung axle was fitted in order to improve its mobility and allowed the FK 109 to be towed by artillery tractors instead of horse teams . By the end of the war there were 200 in service , however the FK 1909 was not considered one of Krupp ' s better guns , due to its large size and small shell size .

2004 Iranian seizure of Royal Navy personnel The 2004 Iranian seizure of Royal Navy personnel took place in the Shatt al - Arab ( Arvand Rud in Persian ) waterway on 21 June . Six Royal Marines and two Royal Navy sailors were captured . The British servicemen were seized while training Iraqi river patrol personnel after Iran said they had strayed into the Iranian side of the waterway . They were threatened with legal action initially but released three days later following diplomatic discussions between Jack Straw , the British Foreign Secretary , and Kamal Kharazi , the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs . The British marines ' weapons and boats were confiscated and have not been returned . They were released unharmed three days later , on 24 June , after the British and Iranian governments agreed there had been a misunderstanding . Their equipment was not returned and a rigid inflatable boat ( RIB ) was put on display in a museum in Tehran . During their detention , according to former detainee Marine Scott Fallon , they endured a mock execution in which they were marched into the desert and made to stand blindfolded in front of a ditch while their captors cocked their weapons . They also appeared blindfolded on Iranian TV , where they were forced to apologise for their " mistake " . The Royal Navy boats were operating close to the northern coast of the Persian Gulf in the mouth of the Shatt al - Arab waterway which divides southern Iran and Iraq . The weather was bad causing negligible visibility which may have contributed to a potential crossing of the Iranian border by the Royal Navy . After the crew were returned and events analysed the British government affirmed its belief that the personnel were actually still in Iraqi waters , however they consigned the incident to a misunderstanding and requested the return of the equipment .

He graduated from West Point in 1933 and earned the Silver Star during the strategically significant Guadalcanal Campaign in which he commanded the 161st Infantry Regiment as a Colonel . Dalton later commanded the 161st during the New Georgia Campaign in 1943 and Battle of Luzon in 1945 before being promoted and reassigned as assistant commander of the 25th Infantry Division . He was killed by a Japanese sniper during the Battle of Balete Pass on May 16 , 1945 . Birth and schooling . Dalton was born in New Britain , Connecticut but moved to Naugatuck with his family at a very young age . There he attended Saint Francis of Assisi School , and in 1927 he graduated from Naugatuck High School . In 1929 he entered West Point , graduating in 1933 , when he transferred from cavalry to infantry . Early military history . Dalton was posted at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack in 1941 and in January 1943 his regiment , the 161st Rifle ( Infantry ) Regiment , was sent to Guadalcanal , as part of the Americal Division ' s deployment to the island . The 161st took part in the final weeks of the campaign . For his duties during this campaign , Dalton was awarded the Silver Star and was promoted to lieutenant - colonel , then colonel . Dalton was given command of the 161st in the closing days of the Guadalcanal Campaign after its previous commander , Colonel Clarence Orndorff , was ordered back to the United States through illness . Initially the 161st was a National Guard regiment , but having seen combat in the Guadalcanal campaign and taken in veteran replacements the regiment had lost that title . After Guadalcanal the 161st was ordered to New Georgia Island to link up with the 145th and 148th Infantry Regiments , in an attempt to take out the Japanese airfield at Munda Point . On arrival at New Georgia Island on July 22 , 1943 , Dalton ' s regiment was placed under the command of General Robert S . Beightler . In a difficult campaign , in which his regiment was unable to make gains due to heavy enemy defensive positions , Dalton ' s regiment was also blamed by Colonel Baxter of the 148th for failures in the field . Beighter , although a fellow Ohio Guardsman of Baxter , decided that Dalton ' s command was sound and was able to remove Baxter from his position through a fortuitous element of Baxter ' s ill health . Later military service and death . After the 161st was deployed to the Philippines during the Battle of Luzon , Dalton was promoted to brigadier general and reassigned as assistant commanding general of the 25th Infantry Division . Soon after , Dalton was killed in action by a Japanese sniper during the Battle of Balete Pass on May 16 , 1945 . The pass where Dalton died was renamed in his honor after the battle , and is still sometimes referred to as Dalton Pass today . Dalton was one of only 11 US general officers killed in action during World War II . Dalton was buried at USAFE Cemetery # 1 , Santa Barbara , Luzon on May 18 , 1945 .

Cavalry and Guards Club The Cavalry and Guards Club is a London gentlemen ' s club , at 127 Piccadilly , situated next to the RAF Club . It has three foundation dates : When the Cavalry Club first occupied the site in 1890 , it was a proprietary club owned by an officer in the 20th Hussars , but five years later , ownership passed into the hands of its members and it became a members ' club . They raised the funds to build an entirely new clubhouse , which was completed on the site in 1908 . The work was carried out by the architect ' s firm Mewes and Davies . Edward VIII was known to spend a great deal of time in the Cavalry Club premises in the 1920s and 1930s , when he was Prince of Wales .

Born : May 9 , 1923 , Whitwell , Tenn . G . O . No . : 20 , March 19 , 1954 Citation : Sfc . Duke , a member of Company C , distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry and outstanding courage above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy . Upon learning that several of his men were isolated and heavily engaged in an area yielded by his platoon when ordered to withdraw , he led a small force in a daring assault which recovered the position and the beleaguered men . Another enemy attack in strength resulted in numerous casualties but Sfc . Duke , although wounded by mortar fragments , calmly moved along his platoon line to coordinate fields of fire and to urge his men to hold firm in the bitter encounter . Wounded a second time he received first aid and returned to his position . When the enemy again attacked shortly after dawn , despite his wounds , Sfc . Duke repeatedly braved withering fire to insure maximum defense of each position . Threatened with annihilation and with mounting casualties , the platoon was again ordered to withdraw when Sfc . Duke was wounded a third time in both legs and was unable to walk . Realizing that he was impeding the progress of 2 comrades who were carrying him from the hill , he urged them to leave him and seek safety . He was last seen pouring devastating fire into the ranks of the onrushing assailants . The consummate courage , superb leadership , and heroic actions of Sfc . Duke , displayed during intensive action against overwhelming odds , reflect the highest credit upon himself , the infantry , and the U . S . Army .
