David Brodie ( Royal Navy officer ) David Brodie ( 1709 ? - 1787 ) , was a captain in the Royal Navy . He commanded the Canterbury and the HMS " Strafford " , and was fought at the Battle of Porto Bello , Battle of Santiago de Cuba ( 1748 ) , and the Battle of Havana ( 1748 ) . Early career . Brodie was one of a collateral branch of the Brodies of Brodie , after serving for many years , both in the navy and mercantile marine , was promoted to the rank of lieutenant on 5 October 1736 . In 1739 he served under Vernon at Porto Bello , and in 1741 at Cartagena . On 3 May 1743 he was made commander , pointed to the Merlin sloop in the West Indies , and for about four years was repeatedly engaged with French and Spanish cruisers and privateers , several of which he captured and brought in . In one of these encounters he lost his right arm . Early in 1747 Rear - admiral Knowles appointed him acting captain of the Canterbury ; but he was not confirmed in that rank until 9 March 1747 - 8 , when , after the capture of Port Louis , he was appointed to HMS " Strafford " . In this ship he was present at the unsuccessful attempt on Santiago , and had a distinguished share in the battle of Havana on 1 Oct . 1748 , when the one prize of victory , the Conquistador , struck to the " Strafford " . In the courts - martial which followed Brodie ' s evidence told strongly against the admiral ' s accusers ; he maintained that the admiral had done his duty throughout . Later career . In 1750 Brodie was compelled to memorialise the admiralty , representing himself as incapacitated from further service , and praying for some mark of the royal favour . In 1753 he presented another and stronger memorial to the same effect , consequent on which a pension was granted to him . Nevertheless in 1762 , on the declaration of war with Spain , he applied to the admiralty for a command . His application was not accepted , and accordingly when , in 1778 , his seniority seemed to entitle him to flag rank , he was passed over as not having served " during the last war " . ' This was then the standing rule , and was in no way exceptional to Brodie , although in his case , as in many others , it fell harshly on old officers of good service . On 5 March 1787 Brodie ' s claims were brought up in the House of Commons , and he was represented as a much - injured man , deprived of the promotion to which he was justly entitled . The house negatived the motion made in Brodie ' s favour . The case , however , led to a modification of the rule , and from that time captains who were not eligible for promotion when their turn arrived were distinctly placed on a superannuated list . Brodie died in 1787 , and was buried at the Abbey Church in Bath .

Camp Carroll Camp Carroll was a United States Marine Corps artillery base during the Vietnam War . It was located at ( MGRS 48QYD062545 ) , 8 km southwest of the town of Cam Lo . Camp Carroll was also at the centroid of a large arc of the strategic Highway 9 corridor south of the DMZ , which made it a key facility . History . The camp was named after Navy Cross recipient Captain James J . Carroll who was the commanding officer of Kilo Company , 3rd Battalion , 4th Marines . He was killed by friendly tank fire on October 5 , 1966 during Operation Prairie . The camp was commissioned on November 10 , 1966 and became home for the 3rd Marine Regiment . It was one of nine artillery bases constructed along the DMZ and had 80 artillery pieces including M107 175mm guns from the United States Army . From a tactical perspective , therefore , the 175mm self - propelled gun was the most important weapon at Camp Carroll . The 175mm guns put Camp Carroll on the map , particularly the tactical maps of the North Vietnamese forward observers . The most powerful American field artillery tube , the 175mm could fire a 150 - pound projectile 32 , 690 meters and effectively return fire on any enemy gun that could hit it . Camp Carroll diminished in significance after the 1968 Tet Offensive . The 3rd Marine Division began relying on highly mobile postures rather than remaining in their fixed positions as sitting targets . The Marine Corps began pulling out of Vietnam in 1969 as part of President Richard Nixon ' s Vietnamization Policy . On April 2 , 1972 , Colonel Pham Van Dinh surrendered the facility to the North Vietnamese Army . At present the land belongs to Xi Nghiep Ho Tieu Lam , the Vietnamese state - operated pepper enterprise . Other . Camp Carroll also refers to a U . S . Army camp located in Waegwan , South Korea . It is referred to as " The Crown Jewel of Area 4 " .
Uprising of Konstantin and Fruzhin The Uprising of Konstantin and Fruzhin ( , " Vastanie na Konstantin and Fruzhin " ) was the earliest Bulgarian uprising against the Ottoman rule . It was organized in the early 15th century by two Bulgarian nobles and was supported by a Christian coalition , but failed to liberate Bulgaria . Fruzhin , the son of Tsar Ivan Shishman , and his cousin Konstantin , the heir of Ivan Sratsimir , who had emigrated to Hungary and Serbia as the Ottomans subjugated the Balkans , organized an uprising in northern Bulgaria aided by Wallachia n ruler Mircea the Elder , Serbian despot Stefan Lazarević and Hungarian monarch Sigismund . The Ottoman defeat in the Battle of Ankara of 1402 provided good conditions for an uprising , and the Christian forces crossed the Danube from the north into the Bulgarian lands : Mircea I , accompanied by Konstantin , invaded Dobruja , while Fruzhin together with the Serbian - supported Hungarian army entered the northwestern Bulgarian lands ( around Vidin ) . These initially successful invasions were followed by an uprising of the Bulgarian population in some areas . The scale , time and duration of the uprising is not certain . According to some sources , it broke out in 1404 , but was quickly crushed by one of Bayezid I ' s sons , Suleiman , with Wallachia nevertheless retaining Dobruja and Stefan Lazarević extending his realm ' s territory , whereas Konstantin and Fruzhin ' s efforts were futile . Others claim that the uprising began in 1408 , and Konstantin and Fruzhin managed to regain their domains from the late Bulgarian Empire south of the Danube at least until 1413 , when Musa is documented to have " ruined the Bulgarians " . According to a third group of historians , who base their theory on the note of Doukas that Bulgarian delegates attended the Bursa negotiations between Mehmed I and Manuel II Palaiologos in 1413 , the uprising was crushed as late as 1418 alongside several other unrelated rebellions . After the end of the uprising , its leaders Konstantin and Fruzhin once again settled abroad , Konstantin in Serbia and Fruzhin in Hungary . Konstantin died in 1422 in Serbia , while Fruzhin continued to work actively in Hungary to restore the Bulgarian Empire . He took part in Dan II ' s attack of Silistra in 1425 and was granted the domain of Lippa in Temes by Sigismund because of this . Fruzhin was sent by the Hungarian king to help the Albanian rebels under Gjergj Arianit Komneni in 1435 . He also participated in Władysław III of Poland ' s campaign that culminated in the Battle of Varna in 1444 , and died around 1460 .

Battle of Tipton ' s Island The Battle of Tipton ' s Island was an engagement between a Kickapoo war party and Indiana Rangers under command of John Tipton in April 1813 , near White River , in Indiana . In April 1813 , during the War of 1812 , a Kickapoo war party killed two white settlers eight miles away from Fort Vallonia . The war party continued towards the fort , killing another settler and wounding three more . The Kickapoo then put some distance between themselves and the fort , but were soon pursued by 30 Indiana Rangers under Major John Tipton known as " Corydon ' s Yellow Jackets " . The Kickapoo crossed the flooded Driftwood River , and thinking they had lost their pursuers , set up camp on an island in the east fork of the White River . One of Tipton ' s scouts located the trail , however , and the rangers cautiously approached the river . Major Tipton ordered the rangers to maintain absolute silence , and tied one ranger to a tree when he kept talking . The rangers took positions along the bank of the river and opened fire . The Kickapoo were taken by surprise , but returned fire for about half an hour . Few casualties were suffered due to the firing distance across the river and the shelter provided by the wooded island . One Kickapoo was killed and several were wounded , but a few drowned when they deserted the island and tried to swim across the flooded White River . The Rangers could not pursue the Kickapoo across the river , so they returned to Fort Vallonia . There was a celebration of the Rangers ' victory , but as details of the skirmish became known , it was determined to be a small engagement against a war party that managed to escape . " Tipton ' s Island " became a term of ridicule .

Siege of Mequinenza The Siege of Mequinenza ( 15 May to 8 June 1810 ) saw a 16 , 000 - man Imperial French corps commanded by Louis Gabriel Suchet invest a 1 , 000 - strong Spanish garrison under Colonel Carbon . Mequinenza and its castle were captured by the French after an operation lasting about three weeks . The action occurred during the Peninsular War , which formed part of the Napoleonic Wars . Mequinenza is located at the confluence of the Ebro and Segre Rivers about west of Barcelona . Mequinenza ' s town wall was old and weak , but its castle perched on a mountain spur above the town was a formidable position . It took Suchet ' s military engineers two weeks to construct a zig - zag road up the mountain . Once the road was ready , the French dragged their siege cannons to the top and opened fire on the castle . The town was successfully stormed on 5 June . After eight days of bombardment the castle was a ruin and Carbon surrendered . Since Mequinenza was at the head of navigation on the Ebro , Suchet was able the use the town as a supply base in his subsequent operations during the Siege of Tortosa in the winter of 1810 and 1811 . Background . During the Second Siege of Zaragoza , its Spanish defenders bitterly resisted the French for many months . The city finally fell on 20 February 1809 and its large garrison was killed or captured . With most of Aragon ' s defenders wiped out , the French III Corps under General of Division Jean - Andoche Junot and V Corps under Marshal Édouard Mortier rapidly conquered the Ebro River valley . The powerful fortress of Jaca meekly surrendered to Mortier on 21 March 1809 and the towns of Monzón and Fraga were soon occupied . However , the castle of Mequinenza declined to surrender when summoned by a French column . After Mortier in person appeared before the castle with a brigade of infantry , its commander again refused to capitulate . The French marshal withdrew , planning to return after conquering the remainder of eastern Aragon . However , Emperor Napoleon issued orders on 5 April for the V Corps to withdraw to Tudela . The War of the Fifth Coalition was about to start and the emperor knew he might need Mortier ' s troops to reinforce his army in Germany . This left the III Corps to hold Aragon with only 15 , 000 troops . At the same time the emperor replaced Junot with General of Division Louis Gabriel Suchet .
Folkestone Castle Folkestone Castle stood on a spur of the North Downs to the north of the town of Folkestone , Kent ( ) . The Norman castle on a natural mound which existed in the late 11th and 12th centuries . It was excavated in 1878 by Augustus Pitt Rivers and this has been claimed to be the first excavation of a medieval site in Britain using scientific methods . Known locally as " Caesar ' s Camp " , it is not actually Roman at all , but was probably constructed as early as 1095 and was certainly occupied for some time following the Norman invasion . The hill on which it stands is known as Castle Hill and it affords splendid views over the town and coast , from Folkestone across Romney Marsh to Dungeness , Rye and Fairlight The earthworks now overlook the end of the M20 motorway and the entrance to the Channel Tunnel at Cheriton .
Fort La Jonquière Fort La Jonquière was one of the two French forts established on the Saskatchewan River in the 20 years between the end of La Vérendrye ' s push west from Lake Superior in 1731 - 1743 and the fall of New France in 1763 . The other was Fort de la Corne built two years later . It was the westernmost French fort in Canada and was named after Jacques - Pierre de Taffanel de la Jonquière , Marquis de la Jonquière who was the Governor General of New France at the time . The second of the four western commanders who followed La Vérendrye was Jacques Legardeur de Saint - Pierre ( 1750 – 53 ) . Saint - Pierre ordered Niverville at Fort Paskoya to build a fort 300 leagues up the Saskatchewan which was thought to be near the sources of the Missouri and streams running west to the Pacific . In the spring of 1751 ten Frenchmen in two canoes left Fort Paskoya to build the fort ( Niverville was too ill to travel ) . The following November Saint - Pierre left Fort La Reine to visit the new fort . Morton says that he was prevented from reaching it because of a war among the Indians . A less reliable source says he as at the fort in February 1752 when 200 Assiniboins tried to plunder it . The source claims that drove them off by holding a fire brand over the power magazine and threatening to blow everyone up . After that the sources seem to be silent . The problem is where was it ?

Ravelin A ravelin is a triangular fortification or detached outwork , located in front of the innerworks of a fortress ( the curtain walls and bastion s ) . Originally called a demi - lune , after the lunette , the ravelin is placed outside a castle and opposite a fortification curtain . The outer edges of the ravelin are so configured that it divides an assault force and from the ravelin guns can fire upon the attacking troops as they approach the curtain . It also impedes besiegers from using their artillery to batter a breech in the curtain wall . The side of the ravelin facing the inner fortifications has at best a low wall , if any , so that the ravelin would not shelter attacking forces should they have overwhelmed the ravelin , or the defenders have abandoned it . Frequently ravelins have a ramp or stairs on the curtain - wall side to facilitate the movement of troops and artillery onto the ravelin . The first example of a ravelin appears in the fortifications of the Italian town of Sarzanello , and dates from 1497 . The first ravelins were built of brick , but later , during the sixteenth century in the Netherlands , were earthen ( perhaps faced by stone or brick ) , the better to absorb the impact of cannonballs . The Italian origins of the system of fortifications ( the star fort s ) , of which ravelins were a part gave rise to the term " trace Italienne " . The French 17th century military engineer Vauban made great use of ravelins in his design of fortifications for Louis XIV and his ideas were still being used by Major William Green in 1761 in Gibraltar . The ravelin in song . The word appears in the " Major - General ' s Song " from the comic opera " The Pirates of Penzance " , by Gilbert & Sullivan , in which General Stanley sings , " In fact , when I know what is meant by mamelon and ravelin . . .
