Dolebury Warren Dolebury Warren ( ) is a 90 . 6 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest ( SSSI ) near the village of Churchill in North Somerset , notified in 1952 . It is owned by the National Trust and managed by the Avon Wildlife Trust . There is evidence of occupation of the site during the Iron Age and as a medieval / post medieval rabbit warren . Background . Hill forts developed in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age , roughly the start of the first millennium BC . The reason for their emergence in Britain , and their purpose , has been a subject of debate . It has been argued that they could have been military sites constructed in response to invasion from continental Europe , sites built by invaders , or a military reaction to social tensions caused by an increasing population and consequent pressure on agriculture . The dominant view since the 1960s has been that the increasing use of iron led to social changes in Britain . Deposits of iron ore were located in different places to the tin and copper ore necessary to make bronze , and as a result trading patterns shifted and the old elites lost their economic and social status . Power passed into the hands of a new group of people . Archaeologist Barry Cunliffe believes that population increase still played a role and has stated " [ the forts ] provided defensive possibilities for the community at those times when the stress [ of an increasing population ] burst out into open warfare . But I wouldn ' t see them as having been built because there was a state of war . They would be functional as defensive strongholds when there were tensions and undoubtedly some of them were attacked and destroyed , but this was not the only , or even the most significant , factor in their construction " . Construction . There is evidence of occupation of the site during the Iron Age , which has been designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument ( No : 194279 ) . The defences and Celtic field systems at Dolebury date back to the 4th century - 3rd century BCE , though they might mask earlier developments . The rectangular fort commands views over the surrounding countryside . It was protected by a limestone rampart with a ditch and counterscarp on all sides but the South . There is an inturned entrance on the West and an annexe of 0 . 4ha protecting the easier Eastern approach . Finds include Iron - age and Romano - British materials . In addition to the remains of double ramparts of an Iron Age hill fort still being visible there is also evidence of a medieval rabbit warren . Medieval . Dolebury Warren is a very good example of a medieval / post medieval rabbit warren which was used to breed rabbits , providing valuable meat and fur . The warren is completely enclosed by the substantial ramparts of the Iron Age hillfort , Dolebury Camp . Many warrens were surrounded by banks or walls to prevent the rabbits from escaping ; escaped rabbits caused damage to nearby farmland and meant a loss in profit . Reusing the hillforts defences as a boundary provided an ideal location in which to breed rabbits . Ecology . Scarce plants found at the warren include Knotted Pearlwort and Slender Bedstraw .

35 cm Marinekanone L / 45 M . 16 The 35 cm Marinekanone L / 45 M . 16 ( 45 caliber Naval gun Model 16 ) was used by Austria - Hungary during World War I as a superheavy siege gun . Eleven of these had been ordered from Škoda Works before the war to equip the first unit of the s that Austria had ordered . The ships were cancelled shortly after the outbreak of the war , but the guns continued in production . The first gun and its cradle was reported ready for delivery by Skoda on 28 May 1915 , but it was not tested until April 1916 . Shortly afterwards it was sent to the Italian Front and installed in the train yard of Calceranica al Lago near the shore of Caldonazzo lake , where it fired 122 shots before it was returned to Skoda on 30 May 1916 for refurbishing . It was nicknamed " Lange Georg " by the troops and the first task assigned was to support the Strafexpedition targeting at the Italian command center in Asiago 34 km away , where Italians believed to be out of range by artillery attacks . The operative position near the town center forced the personnel to activate a siren before shooting in order to open all the surrounding windows to prevent damages by the shock waves . Either " Georg " or Gun No . 2 was sent to the Romanian Front to assist in the crossing of the Danube in November 1916 , but only a few shots were fired before it was withdrawn . Skoda reported in May 1917 that Gun No . 1 had returned from the front , Gun No . 2 had been delivered , Gun No . 3 was complete ( it was tested on 18 May 1917 ) , Gun No . 4 was in the final stages of completion while Guns No . 5 - 11 were in different stages of completion . Gun No . 2 was sent to the Italian Front at the end of August 1917 at Santa Croce , north of Trieste . It was ready to fire on 23 September 1917 against the Italian coastal batteries between Grado and the Isonzo estuary . It fired the first shot over the Gulf of Trieste on 18 October 1917 . The fate of the guns is unclear . The Italians captured one as did the French ( probably No . 4 , which had been delivered shortly before the end of the war ) and to the Serbs . The former two scrapped theirs , but the Serbs had one during the interwar period . A proper mount for the gun couldn ' t be devised in a timely manner and its carriage was mounted on a steel platform lined with wood . It had to be traversed with winches . A 100 - ton crane was required for assembly . Postwar plans were to mount them on rail carriages , but these came to naught with the breakup of Austria - Hungary .

List of Medal of Honor recipients for the Boxer Rebellion The Boxer Movement , or Boxer Rebellion , was a Chinese uprising from November 1899 to September 7 , 1901 , against foreign influence in areas such as trade , politics , religion and technology that occurred in China during the final years of the Manchu rule ( Qing Dynasty ) . The members of the Chinese Righteous Harmony Society | Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists were simply called " boxers " by the Westerners due to the martial arts and calisthenics they practiced . It began as an anti - foreign , anti - imperialist , peasant - based movement that attacked foreigners who were building railroads and violating Feng shui . Christians who they felt were responsible for foreign domination of China were also targeted . In June 1900 , the Boxers invaded Beijing and killed 230 non - Chinese . Before it ended , tens of thousands of Chinese Christians , Catholic and Protestants were killed , mostly in the Shandong and Shanxi provinces . The government of Empress Dowager Cixi gave her support to the boxers causing foreign diplomats , civilians , soldiers and even some Chinese Christians to retreat to the legation quarter . They held out against the boxers for 55 days until a multinational coalition rushed 20 , 000 troops to their rescue . The Chinese government was forced to indemnify the victims and make many additional concessions . Subsequent reforms implemented after the crisis of 1900 laid the foundation for the end of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the modern Chinese Republic .

Four of these were for Army personnel , twenty - two went to navy sailors and the remaining thirty - three went to marines . Harry Fisher was the first Marine to receive the medal posthumously and the only posthumous recipient for this conflict .

After the Battle of Babshen , Serop was given the title of " Pasha " . Aghpyur . It is also around this time he gained his pseudonym " Aghpur " , given to him by the Armenian population because he had the " heart of a lion " and was very courteous . The local Armenian population would often say " " Veruh Asdvadz , Vahruh Serop " " ( literally " God is up there , Serop is down here " ) , which figuratively means " If God is protecting us from the sky , Serop is protecting us from the ground " . As a general , he commanded such famed fedayees as Andranik Ozanian and Kevork Chavoush , among others . Death . On 1 November 1899 , while meeting with several other compatriots , Aghbiur Serob had his pipe poisoned by a fellow Armenian known as " " Avé " " who had been bribed by Kurdish brigands .

A gunfight erupted between the Kurds and the Armenians , the latter having in its ranks twelve of Serob ' s personal guard , his wife Sose and their son , Hagop . The Kurds managed to defeat the outnumbered Armenians , killing in the process Serob , his son , and twelve of his men including the town priest . Sose was wounded and taken prisoner . Khalil severed Serob ' s head and placed it on a pike as a warning to all other Armenian freedom fighters . A mission led by fellow Armenian guerrilla , Zoravor Andranik Ozanian , tracked the Kurds to the home of " Avé " , who , along with the Kurds and his own family , was killed .
