USS LST - 5 USS " LST - 5 " was a of the United States Navy during World War II . Construction began on 12 July 1942 in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania and the ship was ready for launch on 3 October 1942 . The ship was sponsored by Mrs . Wanetta Rose Barker and was commissioned on 22 February 1943 . During its involvement in World War II , the LST - 5 served in the European Theater , and participated in the Sicilian occupation ( July 1943 ) ; Salerno landings ( September 1943 ) ; and the Invasion of Normandy ( June 1944 ) . In November 1944 the LST - 5 was sailed to Belfast , Northern Ireland and was taken over by British crewmen for service in India and the Far East . The LST - 5 was decommissioned after World War II , and was taken off the Navy list on 1 August 1947 . LST - 5 was sold to the Tung Hwa Trading Company of Singapore to be scrapped . The LST - 5 earned a total of 3 battle stars for its service in World War II .
Hazbub Airfield Hazbub Airfield is an abandoned World War II military airfield in Tunisia , which was located " south of Medenine " ( Madanin ) ; 38 km north of Tataouine , about 385 km south - southeast of Tunis . It was a temporary airfield built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers , used by the United States Army Air Force Ninth Air Force during the Tunisian Campaign . It was used by the 57th Fighter Group , which flew P - 40 Warhawk s from the airfield between 4 – 10 April 1943 during the British Eighth Army ' s advance into Tunisia from Libya , to which the 57th was attached . When the Americans moved out at the end of April 1943 , the airfield was dismantled and abandoned . Today the airfield ' s precise location is undetermined , as agricultural fields have obliterated its existence .
Throw - weight Throw - weight is a measure of the effective weight of ballistic missile payload s . It is measured in kilograms or metric tons . Throw - weight equals the total weight of a missile ' s warhead s , reentry vehicle s , self - contained dispensing mechanisms , penetration aids , and guidance system s — generally all components except for the launch rocket booster and launch fuel . While throw - weight may refer to any type of conventional or WMD warhead , in normal usage it almost exclusively refers to nuclear or thermonuclear payloads . Throw - weight was used as a criterion in classifying different types of missiles during Strategic Arms Limitation Talks between the Soviet Union and the United States . Depressed trajectory . Throw - weight is normally calculated using an optimal ballistic trajectory from one point on the surface of the Earth to another . An optimal trajectory maximizes the total payload ( throw - weight ) using the available impulse of the missile . By reducing the payload weight , different trajectories can be selected which either extends the nominal range , or decreases the total time in flight . A depressed trajectory is a non - optimal , lower and flatter trajectory which takes less time between launch and impact , but with a necessarily lower throw - weight . The primary reasons to choose a depressed trajectory are either to evade anti - ballistic missile systems , by reducing the time available to shoot down the attacking vehicle ( especially during the vulnerable burn - phase against space - based ABM systems ) , or in a nuclear first - strike scenario . An alternate , non - military , purpose for a depressed trajectory is in conjunction with the space plane concept with use of air - breathing engine s , which requires the ballistic missile to remain sufficiently low inside the atmosphere for air - breathing engines to function .
Mandingo Wars The Mandingo Wars were a series of conflicts from 1883 to 1898 between France and the Wassoulou Empire of the Mandingo people led by Samory Touré .

He went to war with the French in 1883 . French troops occupied Bamako on the Niger River and settled the war after a successful offensive in 1886 . Samory was forced to accept the Niger as his frontier . Second Mandingo War , 1894 - 1895 . Samory defeated the French , putting a temporary end to the protectorate over the Ivory Coast . Third Mandingo War , 1898 . This final and decisive struggle in the Mandingo Wars saw French forces victorious over Samory , who was captured and sent into exile .
26th Infantry Division ( Poland ) The Polish 26th Infantry Division ( ) was a unit of the Polish Army , which took part in the Polish September Campaign . It was formed as 4th Infantry Division ( Poland ) in southern Poland ( former Austrian province of Galicia ) in April 1919 . Its regiments originally stationed in such towns as Cieszyn , Jarosław and Przemyśl . In 1921 , the Division was renamed into 26th I . D . and it was moved north - to Skierniewice and vicinity . It consisted of these regiments : During the Invasion of Poland , the Division , under Colonel Adam Brzechwa - Ajdukiewicz , was part of Poznań Army , but on the fifth day of the war it was moved to Pomorze Army and , together with the 15th I . D . , it created Operational Group of General Zdzisław Przyjałkowski . On September 6 , 1939 , the division was in the area of Inowrocław , soon afterwards it was used in the Battle of the Bzura , covering eastern wing of the Pomorze Army . After initial success of Polish offensive , during which the Division recaptured several locations , the Germans organized a counterattack . The 26th I . D . was subsequently destroyed .

German Imperial Admiralty Staff The German Imperial Admiralty Staff ( ) was a military institution established in 1899 under the direct authority and command of the German Emperor , Kaiser Wilhelm II for managing the German Imperial Navy . The Staff continued until the end of the German Empire in 1918 . History . The German Imperial Naval High Command ( " Kaiserliches Oberkommando der Marine " ) was , on 14 March 1899 , replaced by an Admiralty Staff ( ) responsible for planning , officer training , and naval intelligence . In time of war the Admiralty Staff was to assume overall command of the Imperial Navy , although in peace - time it acted only in an advisory capacity . Direct control of the various elements of the fleet was subordinated to officers commanding those elements , accountable to the kaiser . This reorganization suited the Kaiser , who wanted to maintain direct control of his ships . A disadvantage was that it split apart the integrated military command structure , which before had balanced the importance of the navy within overall defense considerations . It suited Tirpitz , because it removed the influence of the admiralty staff from naval planning , but it left him the possibility , in wartime , to reorganise command around himself . Wilhelm II , however , never agreed to relinquish direct control of his fleet .
Camp Cody Camp Cody , located 3 miles northwest of Deming , New Mexico , was a World War I Army camp from 1916 to 1919 . History . During World War I , Camp Cody was an army training camp for the National Guard units from North and South Dakota , Nebraska , Minnesota and Iowa . Soldiers received basic training there before leaving for the war in France . The different National Guard units together formed the 34th Infantry Division and were nicknamed the " Sandstorm Division , " a name based on the camp ' s desert climate . Construction . The camp was constructed during the summer of 1917 by the government . Unable to accommodate the 30 , 000 troops that served at the camp it was necessary to build 120 mess houses and 1 , 200 bathhouses . Each regiment had its own office building and it took 11 large warehouse to store all the supplies needed for the Division . A large hospital was needed and stayed in use long after the war ended . June 14 , 1918 , Hughes Co . ( Oklahoma ) Men Called To the Colors . Call No . 607 for 113 recruits to entrain from Hughes county for Camp Cody , Deming , New Mexico between the 24th and 29 June . The following are the names and addresses of those called . Olen Ashby , Holdenville , E . F . McKinney , Dustin , Raymond Sieminshie , Stuart , C . E . Dewitt , Holdonville , Clarence Spruell , Holdenville , Earl Crane , Stuart , Daniel A . Johnson , Holdenville , William N . Stanfill , Wetumka , Albert Annis , Wetumka , Charles W . Stanfill , Wetumka , Rufus Garland , Wetumka , Leftric Perry , Holdenville , Tom Sanders , Holderville , R . B . White , Dustin . World War One . During the US - Mexican Border War the camp was named " Camp Brooks " . Then with the beginning of the First World War it was renamed " Camp Deming " .

Blam ( Roy Lichtenstein ) Blam ( sometimes Blam ! ) is a 1962 pop art painting by Roy Lichtenstein . It is one of his military comic book derivatives and was one of the works presented at his first solo exhibition . The work is held in the collection at the Yale University Art Gallery . History . The painting is based on the January – February 1962 comic book series " All - American Men of War " edition # 89 ( j ) published by National Periodical Publications Inc . ( now part of D . C . Comics ) . The painting depicts a pilot ejecting from an exploding plane . The same issue was the inspiration for several other Lichtenstein paintings , " Okay Hot - Shot , Okay ! " , " Brattata " , " Whaam ! " and " Tex ! " The graphite pencil sketch , " Jet Pilot " was also from that issue . When Lichtenstein had his first solo show at The Leo Castelli Gallery in February 1962 , it sold out before opening . " Blam " sold for $ 1000 ( $ in 2018 dollars ) , according to one source , but less than $ 1000 according to another . The exhibition included " Look Mickey " , " Engagement Ring " and " The Refrigerator " . The show ran from February 10 through March 3 . The work appeared in the exhibition entitled ' The New Realists ' at the Sidney Janis Gallery from 1 November to 1 December 1962 . Details . Lichtenstein began his war imagery efforts with single frame pictures such as " Blam " . " Blam " uses quintessential war imagery . Although the text is limited to one four - letter word , the narrative is unnecessary owing to the eminent realism presented . The canvas is loaded with images surrounding the focal figure , of the plane under attack . It is regarded , along with " Takka Takka " as " successful in their combination of brilliant color and narrative situation " . " Blam " is a jest with the viewer that uses an exclamation without narrative context . Like " Blang " ( 1962 ) and " Varoom " ( 1963 ) , " Blam " ' s onomatopoeia explodes " like a violent central sun over the entire composition " . Lichtenstein has revised the original source so that the plane and its explosion are the joint foci from which the painting radiates . Unlike the original , which had substantive narrative content , Lichtenstein ' s version has more formality and a linear pattern , but a more simplified surface .
Hermann von Borries Hermann von Borries ( 13 October 1899 – 16 February 1943 ) was a highly decorated Oberstleutnant in the Wehrmacht during World War II . He was also a recipient of the Knight ' s Cross of the Iron Cross . The Knight ' s Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership . Hermann von Borries died in hospital at Porchow on 16 February 1943 .
Xylyl bromide Xylyl bromide , also known as methylbenzyl bromide or T - stoff , is a poisonous organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C HBr , formerly used as a tear gas . Physically it is a colourless liquid ( melting point 21 °C ) with a pleasant aromatic odour . Use as a weapon . Xylyl bromide is highly toxic , irritant and lachrymatory , and has been incorporated in chemical weapon s since the early months of World War I . Some commentators say the first use was in August 1914 , when the French attacked German soldiers with tear gas grenades , but the agent used in that incident was more likely to be ethyl bromoacetate , which the French had tested before the war . The first extensive use of xylyl bromide was the firing by German forces of 18 , 000 " T - shells " at Russian positions in the Battle of Bolimów in January 1915 . The shells were modified 15 cm ( 6 inch ) artillery shell s containing an explosive charge and c . 3 kg ( 7 lb ) xylyl bromide . The attack was a complete failure because the winter weather was too cold to permit an effective aerosol , and the agent was either blown back towards the German lines , fell harmlessly to the ground , or was insufficiently concentrated to cause damage . A similar attack at Nieuwpoort in March 1915 was also unsuccessful . Nevertheless , because of its ease of manufacture xylyl bromide was widely used in World War I , in particular as a component of the Germans ' Weisskreuz ( white cross ) mixture . Structural isomers . The three isomer s , collectively referred to by CAS registry number , are : In the absence of clarification , the name " xylyl bromide " may refer to any one of these isomers or a mixture of all three . This reflects the same ambiguity inherint in the name xylene , from which xylyl bromide may be prepared .
Charles Melville Charles Melville ( 1828 – January 5 , 1867 ) was a Union Navy sailor in the American Civil War and a recipient of the U . S . military ' s highest decoration , the Medal of Honor , for his actions at the Battle of Mobile Bay . Born in 1828 in Dover , New Hampshire , Melville ' s birth name was James Ramsbottom . He joined the Navy from his hometown of Dover and served during the Civil War as an ordinary seaman on Admiral David Farragut ' s flagship , the . At the Battle of Mobile Bay on August 5 , 1864 , he was wounded by an artillery shell but returned to his post manning one of " Hartford ' s " guns for the remainder of the battle . For this action , he was awarded the Medal of Honor four months later , on December 31 , 1864 . Melville ' s official Medal of Honor citation reads : On board the flagship U . S . S . " Hartford " during action against rebel gunboats , the ram " Tennessee " , and Fort Morgan in Mobile Bay , 5 August 1864 . Wounded and taken below to the surgeon when a shell burst between the two forward 9 - inch guns , killing and wounding 15 men , Melville promptly returned to his gun on the deck and , although scarcely able to stand , refused to go below and continued to man his post throughout the remainder of the action resulting in the capture of the rebel ram " Tennessee " . Melville died on January 5 , 1867 , at age 38 or 39 and was buried in Rochester , New Hampshire . His Medal of Honor is held by the National Museum of the United States Navy in Washington , D . C .
