Charles Huxtable Charles Reginald Ralston Huxtable MC & Bar ( 30 September 1891 – 29 July 1980 ) was an Australian doctor who served in both World Wars and wrote about his experiences in the book " From the Somme to Singapore : a Medical Officer in Two World Wars " . Huxtable was commissioned a Temporary Lieutenant in the Royal Army Medical Corps in April 1915 . He won the Military Cross in June 1917 and a bar in November 1917 whilst serving as a medical officer with the Lancashire Fusiliers during World War I . He resigned his commission as a Captain in April 1918 . During World War II he was captured in Singapore by the Japan ese and imprisoned in Changi Prison . Dr Charles Huxtable , then serving with the Royal Flying Doctor Service at Broken Hill , initiated the establishment of the Bush Children ’ s Education Foundation in 1965 . He was shocked by the number of children who were not enrolled in any school and whose only contact with other children was through visits to a township . At that time there was no government provision for these children other than access to correspondence lessons . Dr Huxtable , along with the Chief Justice of New South Wales , Sir Leslie Herron , the Honourable Ian Sinclair and Ian Hardy , prepared a Trust Deed for the Foundation , which was approved by the NSW Attorney General . It provided funding for isolated children to board at the purpose - built Tibooburra Hostel . Other similar hostels were located in the far west of New South Wales . The Foundation appealed for individual and corporate donations so that bursaries could enable children to board at one of these hostels in order to attend a country school . In the early years the occupations of the families covered the range of outback working life : farmers , station hands , fencers , bore sinkers , kangaroo shooters , prospectors , miners , bush nurses , small business owners and itinerant circus / show people . Many of these occupations continue in the bush today , but now include parks and wildlife personnel and small business operators . Ahead of public opinion at the time , the Foundation supported and continues to encourage indigenous families to apply for bursaries . They included the descendants of the Wadikali and Karengappa people , original tribal groups from the north west corner of New South Wales . Publications .

Man Chong Man Chong ( died 242 ) , Boning , was an official of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period . Life . A native of Changyi , Shanyang ( present - day Juye County , Shandong ) , Man Chong became a strategist under the warlord Cao Cao . In Luo Guanzhong ' s historical novel " Romance of the Three Kingdoms " , Man Chong was an old friend of Xu Huang , and when Cao Cao battled with Yang Feng ( whom Xu Huang served ) , he was sent to convince Xu to defect to Cao Cao ' s side . Later , Man Chong became governor of Runan , and helped Cao Ren defend Fancheng ( present - day Fancheng District , Xiangyang , Hubei ) against Guan Yu at the Battle of Fancheng in 219 , acting as an advisor to Cao Ren . Historically , Man Chong convinced Cao Ren to not withdraw by indicating that the flood was only temporary and would not last long . Man Chong also noted that Guan Yu ' s vanguard had already advanced to Jia ( 郏 ) , yet his main force dared not follow , because he was afraid of being cut off from the behind and attacked from both sides . In 228 , Man Chong participated in an unsuccessful three - way invasion on the state of Eastern Wu . Man Chong was also credited with the suggestion to build a new castle at a strategic location far away from the sea on Hefei , as to minimize the advantage of the Wu navy . Sun Quan invaded Hefei again in 233 , but he was so hesitate to land that he just stayed on the boat for 20 days . When he did land , he was ambushed by Man Chong , and lost a few hundred men to him before getting back on boat and retreat . During 4th battle on Hefei of 234 , Man Chong was responsible of the defense of the grand castle of Hefei ( however , Man Chong was not physically there ) , though his suggestion to reinforce general Zhang Ying ( who was commanding troops inside Hefei Castle ) was rejected by Cao Rui , he managed to burn down the rams Wu forces assembled to seize the city . As a result , the Wu forces retreated before Cao Rui bought the main army to Hefei . During his later years , Man Chong was involved in the power struggle with Wang Ling , and eventually lost favour in court .
Liberation Army of Preševo , Medveđa and Bujanovac The Liberation Army of Preševo , Medveđa and Bujanovac ( Albanian : " Ushtria Çlirimtare e Preshevës , Medvegjës dhe Bujanocit " , UÇPMB ) was a separatist militant group fighting for independence from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for the three municipalities : Preševo , Bujanovac , and Medveđa , home to most of the ethnic Albanians of Central Serbia , adjacent to Kosovo . UCPMB ' s uniforms , procedures and tactics mirrored those of the then freshly disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army ( KLA ) . The 1500 - strong ( including minors ) UÇPMB operated from 1999 to 2001 , with the goal to secede these " Eastern Kosova " municipalities from Yugoslavia and join them to Kosovo . History . After the end of the Kosovo war in 1999 , a three - mile " Ground Safety Zone " ( GSZ ) was established between Kosovo ( governed by United Nations ) and inner Serbia and Montenegro . Military of Serbia and Montenegro ( VJ ) units were not permitted there , and only the lightly armed Serb Ministry of Internal Affairs forces were left in the area . The exclusion zone included the predominantly Albanian village of Dobrosin , but not Preševo . Former KLA members quickly established bases in the demilitarized zone , and Serbian police had to stop patrolling the area to avoid being ambushed . Attacks were also made on ethnic Albanian politicians opposed to the KLA , including the assassination of Zemail Mustafi , the Albanian vice - president of the Bujanovac branch of Slobodan Milošević ' s Socialist Party of Serbia . Between June 21 , 1999 and November 12 , 2000 , 294 attacks were recorded , most of them ( 246 ) in Bujanovac , 44 in Medveđa and six in Preševo . These attacks resulted in 14 people killed ( of which six were civilians and eight were policemen ) , 37 people wounded ( two UN observers , three civilians and 34 policemen ) and five civilians kidnapped . In their attacks , UÇPMB used mostly assault rifle s , machine gun s , mortar s and sniper rifle s , but occasionally also RPG s , hand grenade s , and anti - tank and anti - personnel mine s . Seeing that the situation was getting out of control , NATO allowed the VJ to reclaim the demilitarized zone on May 24 , 2001 , and at the same time giving the UÇPMB the opportunity to turn themselves over to Kosovo Force ( KFOR ) , which promised to just take their weapons and note their names before releasing them . More than 450 UÇPMB members took advantage of KFOR ' s " screen and release " policy , among them Shefket Musliu , the commander of the UÇPMB , who turned himself over to KFOR at a checkpoint along the GSZ just after midnight of May 26 , 2001 .

After the army reached Tunisia , No . 274 was given an air defence , covering convoys along the Libyan coast , receiving some Spitfires in April 1943 , and completely re - equipping with this type shortly after moving to Cyprus in September . In February 1944 the squadron moved to Italy for two months and took part in sweeps over Yugoslavia and Albania before leaving for the UK . On 24 April 1944 , No . 274 re - assembled at Hornchurch with Spitfires and began fighter sweeps over Northern France in preparation for the invasion of Europe . After covering the Normandy landings , it converted to Tempests in August which it used against flying bombs until their launching sites were captured by the army . At the end of September it joined Second TAF in the Low Countries and flew sweeps over Germany until the end of the war . Early in September 1945 it returned to Warmwell for an armament training course , leaving its ground echelon in Germany and while so engaged was renumbered 174 Squadron on 7 September 1945 .
Château de Ramstein The Château de Ramstein is a ruined castle in the " commune " of Baerenthal , in the Moselle " département " of France . History .

With the resignation of the regiment ' s lieutenant colonel William S . Tisdale , Nevin was promoted to lieutenant colonel a position which became effective on October 25 , 1861 . A muster roll dated October 15 , 1861 makes the comment that Nevin ' s promotion was made " " … by desire of the major ( Oscar Veniah Dayton ) and every line officer . Sanctioned by the Brig . General ( John James Peck ) " " . Nevin ' s promotion from captain to lieutenant colonel appears to have been a reward for good service while the regiment was encamped at Tennallytown , DC .

Nevin acted in the capacity of senior officer for several weeks before handing in his resignation to Peck who forwarded it to Major General McClellan with the recommendation that it be rejected . With the death of the regiment ' s colonel , John Lafayette Riker at the Battle of Fair Oaks on May 31 , 1862 , Nevin assumed command of the regiment a promotion which became effective on June 20 , 1862 .

At the Battle of Malvern Hill , Nevin , due to sickness , commanded the regiment from an army ambulance . In late 1862 Nevin was sentenced " to be cashiered , " by a general court - martial . However , in April 1863 his sentence was disapproved by the Secretary of War , Edwin M . Stanton and he was released from arrest , and restored to his command . After the removal of McClellan from command of the Army of the Potomac a conspiracy against Nevin by his superior officers was discovered , and Governor Seymour was " " … called upon to see that justice was done to one of whose services the State might well be proud . " " Nevin was mustered out of the regiment on June 29 , 1864 at Petersburg , Va . He was succeeded by Lieut . Colonel Theodore B . Hamilton who commanded the regiment until it was mustered out at Fort Schuyler New York on August 30 , 1865 .
