Harold Gunnes Harold Gunnes ( February 6 , 1899 – March 11 , 2003 ) was the last surviving American veteran of the Polar Bear Expedition , part of the intervention by the allied forces in the Russian Civil War . Biography . After graduating from a high school in Barnesville , Minnesota , in 1917 , Gunnes enlisted into the Navy . He was assigned to the cruiser , which escorted troop transports across the Atlantic . When the ship was sent to Arkhangelsk , in northern Russia , in August 1918 , about 50 men from her , including Gunnes , were attached to the Army ' s 339th Infantry Regiment . Gunnes was issued with an American - made M1891 Mosin – Nagant rifle , and in September his unit travelled up the Dvina River on barges . About 200 miles from the coast they engaged Bolshevik troops around the village of Seletsko , driving them out . However , the Russians regrouped and flanked the Americans , who were forced to retreat . Gunnes eventually returned to the " Olympia " , and sailed for England in November 1918 .

Haqq ad - Din II Haqq ad - Din II ( ) ( ruled late 14th century ) was a Somali Sultan of the Ifat Sultanate , the brother of Sa ' ad ad - Din II , and the son of Ahmad ibn Ali . Taddesse Tamrat credits Haqq as " the founder of the kingdom of Adal as we know it in its protracted struggle with the Christian kingdom [ of Ethiopia ] " Reign . Although Al - Maqrizi states that both Haqq ad - Din and his brother Sa ' ad ad - Din II were born at the Ethiopian court , both grew up to be the strongest champions of Islam in the Ethiopian region . According to Tamrat Taddesse , due to the antipathy the rest of the Walashmas had to his father Ahmad for his collaboration over the Ethiopians , Haqq started his career as an outlaw at odds with both his grandfather Ali ibn Sabr ad - Din and his uncle Mola Asfah . Taddesse Tamrat credits him with a great deal of Islamic learning , and in time became the leader of the militant Islamic group in the region . Once surrounded by numerous followers , he declared war on his two male relatives . They turned to the Ethiopian Emperor Newaya Krestos for help , but in a series of engagements he defeated their combined army , and his uncle Mola Asfah was killed in battle . The Ethiopian Emperor triumphantly entered the city of Ifat , where he magnaminously confirmed his grandfather as titular ruler of the city ; although he founded a new capital at Wahal . ( Trimingham calls this new city Wafat . ) Taddesse Tamrat notes that while this new location helped preserve Ifat ' s autonomy under Ethiopia , it had a cost in that it gave up all of the dynastic political influence over Shewa and the neighboring Muslim kingdoms of Dawaro , Hadiya and Bale . Death . Haqq ad - Din ruled for ten years , until he was killed in action against soldiers of the Ethiopian Emperor . The date of his death is disputed : in the account of Al - Maqrizi , Haqq ad - Din was killed in AH 776 ( = AD 1373 / 1374 ) ; however , the chronicle of the Walashma dynasty states he died in AD 1386 . The matter is not helped by the fact Al - Maqrizi says the Emperor who ruled at the time of Haqq ad - Din ' s death was Dawit I , while Ethiopian sources state that the Sultan ' s reign began in the reign of Emperor Newaya Krestos . Taddesse Tamrat argues that Al - Maqrizi was right about Haqq ' s year of death , but confused Emperor Newaya Maryam with his more famous successor Dawit I ; Richard Pankhurst , on the other hand , accepts the chronicle ' s date and al - Makrizi ' s identification of Dawit I .

Port Hamilton incident The Port Hamilton Incident or the Geomun Island Incident was the occupation of the Port Hamilton ( also Komundo or Geomundo ) by the Royal Navy from 15 April 1885 to 27 February 1887 . Russia had intended to use the island as a coaling station . While the British government was alarmed by rumours of a secret agreement between Russia and Korea , these rumours did not reach the British Cabinet until after the decision to occupy Port Hamilton had been taken . The port was taken to establish a British port in the Far East outside of China in the event of a war with Russia , to mitigate the harmful potential of possible Chinese neutrality . In official statements , the British government claimed that the occupation had been undertaken to preempt Russian annexation of the islands . In response , diplomats such as the then French minister to Japan and newspapers such as the " Novoe Vremiya " speculated that Russia would counterbalance the British occupation by seizing Port Lazarev ( Wonsan ) or Jeju Island . Russia threatened to occupy parts of Korea , in response to British actions . After giving assurances they would not occupy any part of Korea then the British withdrew . The proposal to occupy the islands had been considered earlier by the British Cabinet , in July 1875 , but was rejected by Foreign Secretary Lord Derby as setting a poor precedent .
