General . This Army site has been located in Penny Pot Lane , just outside Harrogate town , from before World War II until its closure in 1996 . Originally built in 1939 , mostly as wooden huts , the Uniacke Barracks of the site has since been reprieved and presently accommodates the young men and women who train at the Army Foundation College there . The site was re - opened in 2000 after substantial rebuild . The site is now established as being a flagship establishment of the British Army with some of the best training facilities in the world . The site is ran via a PFI contract . History . The first British Military Unit known to occupy the site on Penny Pot Lane was the 9th Field Training Regiment , Royal Artillery . They apparently used to fire their guns on the moors near Blubberhouses . They were disbanded in 1943 . The next known use was by 116th General Hospital of the United States Army , from 28 July 1944 to 11 May 1945 , for the purpose of clearing war casualties . The Army Apprentices School was established there ( probably in both Uniacke AND Hildebrande barracks ) in 1947 . Uniacke barracks was named after Lieutenant General Sir Herbert Uniacke KCB KCMG , who was an Artillery Officer . He was born in 1866 & died in 1934 . Hildebrand barracks was named after Brigadier General Arthur Blois Ross Hildebrand CB CMG DSO . He was a Signals Officer who was born in 1870 & died in 1937 . ( Today ' s rank of Brigadier was actually titled Brigadier General in those times . ) Popular culture . There is a local legend as to how / why the name ' Penny Pot ' for the camp originally came about . The camp is sited upon Penny Pot Lane and folklore has it that in the First World War , when it was a tented camp , soldiers used to march westwards up the road out of camp to purchase ale at the local farm for " a penny a pot " ! The name ' Penny Pot ' could be associated with the name of a house . In the 1700s - 1800s there was a house on Penny Pot Lane called Penny Pot House and it was the home of the Burnell family of Fewston . Martin Burnell ( 1708 - 1776 ) died at Penny Pot House in Feb 1776 . His older brother John Burnell ( 1705 - 1790 ) is noted as being the Lord Mayor of London in 1787 - 1788 . References .

Battle of Pteria At the Battle of Pteria ( ) in 547 BC , the Persian forces of Cyrus the Great fought a drawn battle with the invading Lydian forces of Croesus , forcing Croesus to withdraw back west into his own kingdom . Background . Formerly , the Lydians and Medes had arranged that the natural boundary between the two empires would be the Halys River . Croesus learned of the sudden Persian uprising and defeat of his longtime rivals , the Medes . He attempted to opportunistically use these set of events to expand his borders upon the eastern frontier of Lydia . He made an alliance with Chaldea , Egypt and Sparta . Motives . Croesus may have intended re - instating his brother - in - law , Astages on the Median throne . It is also possible that he was trying to pre - empt a Persian invasion of Lydia . Battle . Cyrus advanced to halt the Lydian invasion . The winter battle appears to have been fierce , but indecisive . Croesus withdrew across the Halys . As Herodotus refers to how the Lydians fell short in defeating the Persians , it seems clear that partly because of the battle , and having fewer troops than the Persians , it was enough for Croesus to retreat . The Persians reclaimed the land of the Medes in their name . In this respect , the battle might be regarded as a strategic victory for the Persians , in that it helped to secure Cappadocia as part of the newly formed Achaemenid Empire . Aftermath . Among historians , the outcome of the battle remains debatable and unclear . Before all of this , and prior to his invasion , Croesus asked the Oracle of Delphi for advice . The Oracle suggested vaguely that , " if King Croesus crosses the Halys River , a great empire will be destroyed . " Croesus received these words with delight , instigating a war that would ironically and eventually end not the Persian Empire but his own . This battle was shortly followed by the Battle of Thymbra , which ended in a decisive victory for Cyrus the Great .

Dimitar Spisarevski Dimitar Spisarevski ( ) ( 19 Jully 1916 — 20 December 1943 ) was a Bulgarian fighter pilot known for taking down an American bomber by ramming it during the bombing of Sofia in World War II . Born in Dobrich on 19 June 1916 , Spisarevski moved with his family after the post - World War I Treaty of Neuilly ceded the city to Romania , consecutively living in Lom , Belogradchik and Sofia . Spisarevski entered His Majesty ' s Military School , but was expelled and went to serve in Yambol . Due to his excellent conduct , he was called back as a cadet to the school . When a pilot contest was announced , he was among the first candidates for the new subject . Later , he went on to study in Nazi Germany , where he graduated from the fighter pilot school in Werneuchen in 1938 . In the summer of 1943 , he was sent to the English Channel with another Bulgarian pilot to observe the German pilots and master aerial warfare tactics . On 20 December 1943 , a group of 200 American B - 24 Liberator bombers and fighter planes headed to Sofia in order to bomb the Bulgarian capital once again . 36 Bulgarian airplanes took off in order to intercept the bombers before they reached Sofia . Spisarevski was one of the Bulgarian Air Force ' s Messerschmitt Ме - 109G - 2 pilots on duty in Bozhurishte who were sent to intercept the bombers before they could reach the city . According to the battle log of the 3 / 6 fighter wing , of which Spisarevski was part , the battle went the following way : the American B - 24 aircraft flew towards Sofia in V - shaped formations of three , echeloned in a long rear column . The Bulgarians formed an opposing battle row , echeloned in squadrons of four in a rear column , at 6 , 000 m . The wing had the task to engage the enemy P - 38 Lightning fighters while at the same time the other wing , 2 / 6 , would hit the bombers and force them to release their bombs outside the city . Flying Officer Spisarevski ' s aircraft failed to start and he took off in a reserve plane with some delay in what would be his first and only aerial battle . When he reached the bombers , the battle had already begun . Spisarevski evaded two American fighters , headed to a group of 16 Liberators and , without ceasing fire , crashed into the leading bomber . The bomber split in mid - air and only the tail gunner survived . Spisarevski ' s machine crashed at the heights near the village of Pasarel close to Sofia . His body was found among the debris .

Arsenal submachine gun The Arsenal M23 submachine gun ( ) ( also known as Arsenal Tallinn ) was an Estonian submachine gun from 1926 through 1935 . These submachine guns were designed and produced in the Estonian military equipment factory " Arsenal " in Karjamaa , Tallinn , but production was not more than 600 units . The weapon was chambered for the 9x20 mm semi - rimmed Browning cartridge to be compatible with ammunition for the Browning FN M1903 pistol which had been adopted by the Estonian Army . It operated on the blowback system and was essentially similar to the MP18 . 1 ; having a wooden stock , slotted barrel jacket , and horizontal left side magazine feed . A uniquely slender 40 round single column box magazine led to frequent cartridge feeding problems ; and cooling fins which were machined lengthwise along the barrel to promote cooling air flow when firing ( similar to the Lewis machine gun ) , unnecessarily complicated production . It was used by the combat support units of the Border Guard , the Estonian Defence League and the Estonian Defence Forces . The Arsenal submachine gun was replaced in Estonian service by the Finnish Suomi KP / - 31 submachinegun in 1938 . The Estonian Army sold a few samples to Latvia and all of the remainder found their way to Republican forces during the Civil War in Spain .

Type 025 - class torpedo boat The Type 025 class " torpedo boat is also known as Huchuan or Hu Chwan " class , and it was once the backbone of the People ' s Liberation Army Navy in its confrontations with their much larger opponents in the Republic of China Navy . Although no longer serving as the frontline workhorse , this class is still quite active today . This unsophisticated class has a surprising longevity in the active service thanks to the particular philosophy within the People ' s Liberation Army Navy from which this class has benefited . Operational doctrine . In an era of the increasingly effective countermeasures against anti - ship missile s , the countermeasures against torpedo es are relatively few and less effective in comparison , so although ineffective in open waters , torpedo boats can still play a role in the coastal defense with sufficient protection , utilizing its stealthiness and high speed for surprise attacks on the ambushed enemy from their hideouts , such as caves , if these boats are integrated into an overall system that includes the supporting C4ISR structure such as those from shore , aircraft , and larger ships . As a result of this philosophy , the production of Type 025 class torpedo boats lasted well into the 1990s , despite the fact that the retirement of early units of this class had already begun in the mid 1980s . Variants . This class was originally designed to solve the problem of Soviet torpedo boats in Chinese inventory : the " P 4 " class torpedo boat ( " Type K - 123 " ) was lightly armed , and thus did not have sufficient self - defense firepower in retreats after torpedoes are launched . The " P 6 " class torpedo boat ( " Type K - 183 " ) had enough guns for self - defense , but the wooden hull was prone to fire after being hit . As a result , " Type 025 " was developed to utilize the advantage of both classes by adopting the metallic hull of the " P 4 " class and stronger self - defense armament of the " P 6 " class . There are several versions of " Type 025 " class torpedo boats which mainly differed in their secondary armament . For example , some had extra guns in addition to the standard 14 . 5 mm heavy machine gun s , while others had the capability to carry and lay two additional mines . Due to the different the weapons carried , the complement various from 11 to 16 . Structurally , some of the hulls have an additional pair of small hydrofoil near the bow , yet others do not have hydrofoils at all . Most guns are aft but some one forward and one aft . Although small batch orders continued into the 1990s , the production had completely stopped by the early 2000s . Electronics . 1 Soviet Skin Head or Chinese Type 753 navigational radar ( I - band )
