Capture of Daugavgrīva The Capture of Daugavgriva by Swedish forces in July of 1608 occurred during the Polish – Swedish War ( 1600 – 1611 ) . Daugavgrīva ( Polish : " Dynemund " , Swedish : " Dünamünde " ) was the first objective of the Swedish forces during the campaign of 1608 , due to its location near Riga ( of which it is a suburb today ) , and the fact that it could be used to block that city from the sea . When the Swedes , numbering 8000 troops and led by Joachim Frederick von Mansfeld , approached the fortress at Daugavgrīva , the Polish commander of the 130 strong garrison ( with 40 cannons ) , Franciszek Białłozor , lacking in supplies and little hope of relief , decided to surrender . Swedes captured Daugavgriva on 5 August 1608 . The Poles would not be able to recapture the fortress until more than a year later at the Battle of Daugavgriva ( 1609 ) .

Robert R . Ingram Robert Roland Ingram ( born January 20 , 1945 ) is a retired United States Navy sailor and a recipient of the United States military ' s highest decoration — the Medal of Honor — for his actions in the Vietnam War . Biography . Ingram joined the Navy from Coral Gables , Florida in 1963 . By March 28 , 1966 , he had been serving for eight months as a hospital corpsman third class attached to Company C , 1st Battalion , 7th Marine Regiment ( Charlie 1 / 7 ) . During a firefight on that day , in Quang Ngai Province , Republic of Vietnam , Ingram continued to treat wounded Marines even after being seriously wounded himself . Ingram ' s Medal of Honor was awarded on July 10 , 1998 by President Bill Clinton during a ceremony in the White House , alongside twenty - four of the men he served with . The delay in the award , made more than thirty years after the battle , was attributed to lost paperwork . Medal of Honor citation . Ingram ' s official Medal of Honor citation reads : For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Corpsman with Company C , First Battalion , Seventh Marines against elements of a North Vietnam Aggressor ( NVA ) battalion in Quang Ngai Province Republic of Vietnam on 28 March 1966 . Petty Officer Ingram accompanied the point platoon as it aggressively dispatched an outpost of an NVA battalion . The momentum of the attack rolled off a ridge line down a tree covered slope to a small paddy and a village beyond . Suddenly , the village tree line exploded with an intense hail of automatic rifle fire from approximately 100 North Vietnamese regulars . In mere moments , the platoon ranks were decimated . Oblivious to the danger , Petty Officer Ingram crawled across the bullet spattered terrain to reach a downed Marine . As he administered aid , a bullet went through the palm of his hand . Calls for " CORPSMAN " echoed across the ridge . Bleeding , he edged across the fire swept landscape , collecting ammunition from the dead and administering aid to the wounded . Receiving two more wounds before realizing the third wound was life - threatening , he looked for a way off the face of the ridge , but again he heard the call for corpsman and again , he resolutely answered . Though severely wounded three times , he rendered aid to those incapable until he finally reached the right flank of the platoon . While dressing the head wound of another corpsman , he sustained his fourth bullet wound . From sixteen hundred hours until just prior to sunset , Petty Officer Ingram pushed , pulled , cajoled , and doctored his Marines . Enduring the pain from his many wounds and disregarding the probability of his demise , Petty Officer Ingram ' s intrepid actions saved many lives that day . By his indomitable fighting spirit , daring initiative , and unfaltering dedications to duty , Petty Officer Ingram reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service .
Castle Roche Castle Roche ( " Castleroche " ) is a Norman castle located some 10 km ( 7 miles ) north - west of Dundalk , County Louth , Ireland . It was the seat of the De Verdun family ( also spelt De Verdon ) , who built the castle in 1236 AD . It is built upon a large rocky outcrop and commands extensive views of the surrounding country . Together with a deep moat its strong walls rendered it virtually impregnable . A secret passage once connected the castle to a round tower outpost . St . Ronan ' s Well lies nearby , History . The De Verdun family of Belton , Leicestershire and Alton , Staffordshire had a history in the region , Bertram de Verdun arriving as part of John ' s first expedition to Ireland . By 1185 he had erected a manor house at Castletown Mount and subsequently obtained the town ' s charter in 1189 . Bertram ' s granddaughter Rohesia de Verdun from Alton , England was married to Theobald le Botiller , 2nd Chief Butler of Ireland . After her husband ’ s sudden death whist travelling in Poitou , France , she moved to her lands in Ireland . She immediately set about fortifying the land with a castle . However , her quick tempered reputation deterred all potential architects . She then offered her hand in marriage ( and thereby a share in her wealth ) to the man who would build the castle to her liking . Local legend has it , after their wedding banquet in the newly completed castle , she invited her husband to the bridal suite and urged him to view their estate from the large bedroom window . Taking no chances with the castle ’ s secrets , she promptly pushed her new husband from the window , where he plummeted towards his death . The window was known thereafter as the Murder Window . Rohesia became a nun in Gracedieu Priory , Leicestershire , died there in 1247 and was buried in nearby Belton parish church where her effigy may be seen . Although it is generally accepted that Rohesia originally commissioned the castle , much of it is thought to have been added by her son by Theobald ; John . The name " Castle Roche " is thought to be derived from Rohesia ' s Castle . The site of the castle held a strategic position on the frontier between the ( then ) exclusively Gaelic province of Ulster , and the Anglo - Norman territory known as The Pale and controlled the pass into what is now South Armagh . The de Verdon family held the site for many years . Nicholas de Verdon ( who died in 1316 ) was in charge during the Bruce Invasion by Edward Bruce , brother of Robert the Bruce . A hosting of all English forces in Ireland took place here in 1561 but the castle was finally laid to ruin in 1641 , during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland .

Shaikh Paltu Shaikh Paltu ( ) was a soldier ( sepoy ) with the British East India Company , serving in the 34th Bengal Native Infantry in March 1857 , shortly before widespread discontent broke out in the Bengal Army . When on March 29 , Sepoy Mangal Pandey of the same regiment revolted and attacked his British officers , it was Shaikh Paltu who saved the life of the adjutant by attacking Mangal Pandey . The sepoys of the quarter guard on duty and others present refused to take any action against their comrade and remained as " idle spectators of a murderous assault " . By that time an English sergeant - major had arrived at the scene and attacked Pandey . He was however overpowered by Pandey . While other sepoys looked on , Shaikh Paltu continued to defend the two British officers , calling upon other sepoys to join him . The sepoys , with obvious sympathy for Pandey , chose to remain inactive . Some are reported to have attacked their officers with the butts of their musket s . The sepoys however threatened Shaikh Paltu asking him to let go of Mangal Pandey . Paltu however " continued to cling to him " until the British officers had time to rise . General Hearsey , who by now was at the scene , promoted Shaikh Paltu then and there to the post of a " Havaldar " ( native sergeant ) . Other sepoys did not take any active measure to support their comrade Mangal Pandey , who may have been acting in concert with at least some others , if not all , if his speech to the sepoys on the spot is any indicator . The sepoys however seem to have developed cold feet at the last moment . Another possibility is that Pandey acted hastily and too early so that the sepoys were not yet ( mentally ) prepared for an open conflict with the British . The complete regiment , with the natural exception of Shaikh Paltu , was disbanded on May 6 of the same year " with every show of disgrace " , as Malleson calls it . Shaikh Paltu was promoted to the rank of Jemadar in the Bengal Army .
