Washington Light Infantry The Washington Light Infantry is a military and social organization located in Charleston , South Carolina . Founded in 1807 , it is one of the oldest of these militia groups still active in the United States . Following the American Revolutionary War , tensions lingered between the fledgling United States and Great Britain , and many Americans feared another war . In cities across the new country , citizens organized themselves into private militia groups . Several were established in Charleston , including the Washington Light Artillery , which was named for George Washington . The company was first mustered into active service during the War of 1812 , but did not see combat as British troops did not invade South Carolina . In 1827 , the widow of Colonel William Washington presented the company with his old Revolutionary War battleflag . In 1836 , the company was activated and sent to Florida to combat hostile Seminole Indians during the Seminole Wars . They guarded the city of St . Augustine . Six years later , the company helped establish the South Carolina Military Academy . During the Mexican - American War , the company became part of the Palmetto Regiment and marched into Mexico City in the army of Winfield Scott . When South Carolina seceded from the Union in early 1861 , the Washington Light Artillery reformed into three distinct companies and served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War . One company became Company A of the Hampton Legion . A total of 414 men served in the unit during the war , 114 of which were killed . Following the war , the survivors returned home and helped reopen the closed military academy in 1882 . They also formed the Washington Light Infantry Charitable Association to assist the families of fallen Confederate soldiers , as well as those men who had been invalided or otherwise disabled while on duty . ( This organization still exists as the W . L . I . Charity Fund . ) In 1916 , the unit took the field again , serving as border guards with Mexico near El Paso , Texas , at the request of President Woodrow Wilson . A year later , following the United States entry into World War I , the WLI served in the United States Army overseas in the 105th Ammunition Train , 55th Field Artillery Brigade , 30th Division . Following the armistice , the National Guard reorganized , and many of the state militia units were redesignated . The Washington Light Infantry became Company B of the 118th Infantry , South Carolina National Guard . In May 1921 , the unit guarded ships and docks on behalf of the United States Shipping Board during a bitter dispute between sailors and shipping companies over wages . Parts of the National Guard were sent overseas during World War II , and Company A was reinstituted for guard duty on the home front . A military banquet is held in Charleston annually on February 22 coincident with Washington ' s Birthday .

Constantine Diogenes Constantine Diogenes ( ) was a prominent Byzantine Greek general of the early 11th century , active in the Balkans . Biography . Constantine Diogenes is the first notable member of the noble Cappadocian Diogenes family , which played an important role in 11th - century Byzantium . Constantine began his career as a commander of one of the western " tagma ta " during the reign of Basil II ( r . 976 – 1025 ) , in the latter ' s campaigns against Bulgaria . In 1014 , he participated in the decisive Byzantine victory at the Battle of Kleidion , and he subsequently succeeded Theophylact Botaneiates as commander of Thessalonica with the rank of " patrikios " , making him the second senior - most general of the Empire in the Balkans after David Arianites . In 1018 , he was charged with mopping up the last remaining centers of Bulgarian resistance . He took Sirmium and was named its commander ( " archon " ) , with his authority extending over the vassal Serbian statelets of Raška . His title was possibly that of " " strategos " of Serbia " ( Greek : στρατηγός Σερβίας ) , which is attested in a seal attributed to him . Diogenes was ordered by Basil II to subdue Sermon of Srem , a vassal to Bulgarian Tsar Samuil , in order to consolidate Byzantine control of the northern Balkans . Consequently , Diogenes invited Sermon to a meeting at the estuary of the river Sava in the Danube , but it was a trap : Sermon was seized and killed . Around 1022 or 1025 , Constantine succeeded Arianites as overall Byzantine commander ( " strategos autokrator " ) of conquered Bulgaria . In this capacity , he repelled a large Pecheneg invasion in 1027 . In the same year , he was withdrawn south to Thessalonica , but retained , at least nominally , his role as overall commander , as attested by another seal naming him " " anthypatos " , " patrikios " and " doux " of Thessalonica , Bulgaria and Serbia " . Constantine had been married to an anonymous daughter of Basil Argyros , brother of Emperor Romanos III Argyros ( r . 1028 – 1034 ) , but in 1029 he was accused , along with other prominent Balkan generals such as Eustathios Daphnomeles , of conspiring against the emperor with the " porphyrogenita " Theodora . He was transferred east as " strategos " of the Thracesian theme , but soon after recalled to Constantinople where he was imprisoned and later blinded . Theodora herself was tonsure d and placed in a convent , but she apparently continued to conspire with Diogenes , who planned to take advantage of Romanos ' s absence on campaign in the East ( in 1032 ) to escape to the Balkans . The plot was leaked to Romanos by Theophanes , metropolitan of Thessalonica , and the conspirators were arrested . Diogenes was brought to the Palace of Blachernae for interrogation by John the Eunuch , but he committed suicide rather than confess under torture and implicate his fellow conspirators . Constantine ' s son Romanos Diogenes became a successful general and would eventually rise to become Byzantine emperor in 1068 – 1071 .
