Wroth Palmer Acland Sir Wroth Palmer Acland K . C . B . ( 1770 – 1816 ) , English soldier lieutenant - general , notable for his role in the Peninsular War . Biography . Acland was son of Arthur Palmer Acland , of Fairfield , and nephew of Sir Thomas Acland , Bart . , and entered the army in 1787 as ensign in the 17th regiment . He became lieutenant in 1790 , and captain in 1791 , and was then placed on half pay . On the breaking out of the war with France all officers were required for active service , and Captain Acland was appointed to the 3rd regiment or Buffs in May 1793 . He served in Flanders under the Duke of York , and in 1795 was promoted major , and purchased the lieutenant - colonelcy of the 19th regiment . In 1796 he accompanied his regiment to Ceylon , and in 1799 became by exchange captain and lieutenant - colonel in the 2nd or Coldstream guards , with which he served in Egypt . He became colonel in 1803 , and , after serving at the battle of Maida , was appointed brigadier - general , and ordered to take command of a brigade fitting out at Harwich for Portugal in 1808 . His brigade sailed in company with one under Brigadier - General Anstruther in May , and on reaching the Douro found orders from Sir Arthur Wellesley to proceed to Maceira Bay . Here Wellesley covered the dangerous disembarkation of Acland ' s brigade , and then drew up the two brigades with the rest of his army in a strong position at Vimeiro . Acland ' s brigade was posted on the left of the churchyard , which formed the key of the English position , and which would have been a post of much danger if Sir Arthur Wellesley had not perceived Junot ' s plan of turning the English left , and sent the brigades on his own right to take position on Acland ' s left . As it was , Acland by a flank fire helped Anstruther to drive down the main French attacking column , which was his chief important service . Ill - health made it necessary for him to leave Portugal soon after the battle , and deprived him of the glory of serving , like Anstruther , under Sir John Moore . In 1810 he was promoted major - general , and commanded a division in the expedition to the Scheldt , where , however , little glory was to be won . In 1814 he was promoted lieutenant - general , and on the extension of the order of the Bath made one of the first K . C . B . ' s . In 1815 he was made colonel of the first battalion of the 60th regiment , and on 8 March 1816 died from the recurrence of the fever which had threatened his life in Portugal .

The battle . The Nationalist ships " España " ( battleship ) , " Almirante Cervera " ( cruiser ) , and " Velasco " ( destroyer ) bombarded the town on August 11 . The main fighting took place on the Puntza ridge south of the town . The peak of the battle occurred at the convent of San Marcial , which was defended by Asturian miners and militia who threw dynamite and rocks when they ran out of ammunition . The French had closed the border with Spain on August 8 , leading to a shortage of ammunition and supplies on the Republican side . When the Republicans finally abandoned the town , they set it on fire to destroy anything that might aid the Nationalists . During the duration of the war , when the Nationalists would bombard , then occupy a town , they would announce that the Republicans had destroyed it , citing the example of Irún . Beorlegui was wounded by a sniper ' s bullet when he entered the town . He refused to have the wound treated and soon died from gangrene .

Godavari - class frigate The " Godavari class " frigates ( formerly , Type 16 or Project 16 frigates ) are guided - missile frigate s of the Indian Navy . The " Godavari " class was the first significant indigenous warship design and development initiative of the Indian Navy . Its design is a modification of the Nilgiri class frigate with a focus on indigenous content of 72 % , a larger hull and updated armaments . The class and the lead ship , INS Godavari are named after the Godavari River . Three ships of this class currently serve in the Indian Navy . Subsequent ships in the class , INS Ganga and INS Gomati also take their names from Indian rivers . INS " Gomati " was the first Indian Navy vessel to have digital electronics in her combat data system . The ships combine Indian , Russian and Western weapons systems . History . The concept for the Godavari class originated from the lessons learnt in the Indo - Pakistan War of 1971 . There was a need for a ship unique to Indian requirements , for deploying a hybrid of indigenously - designed , as well as Russian and European weapons systems . One of the requirements was to deploy two Sea King helicopters from the ship . The Nilgiri class vessels were too small for this . So the final design incorporated a larger hull . Design . Although the Directorate of Marine Engineering suggested replacing steam propulsion with gas turbines , it was decided not to do so , since Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited had made heavy investments in facilities and tooling for design of steam turbines and auxiliary systems . For armaments , the missile and gun package of the Soviet Nanuchka class corvette was to be installed on the frigate . The keel of the lead ship INS Godavari was laid in 1977 at Mazagon Dock Limited in Bombay . She was commissioned in December 1983 . Upgrades . All three ships have now undergone an extensive upgrade of weapons and sensors . These include the fitment of the Israeli Barak SAM system , and a new fire control system based on the EL / M - 2221 STGR . The P - 20 missiles have been retained for now .
Burcht van Leiden The burcht van Leiden is an old Shell keep in Leiden constructed in the 11th century . It is located at the spot where two tributaries of the Rhine come together , the Leidse Rijn , and another river , now a canal . The structure is on top of a motte , and is today a public park . History . From humble beginnings , the hill was raised during various periods of history up to 9 meters above the surrounding landscape in the 11th century . Ada van Holland used the keep as a residence until her father died in 1203 and she was captured by her uncle . In the same year the previous stone building was rebuilt after an attack on the castle , with tuff stone , and after Ada ' s removal , in 1204 it was attacked again and rebuilt with brick . Later in the 13th century the building was considered antiquated , since more and more townspeople and houses were built around the base of the hill , making defenses impossible without destroying most of the city . The old " interior keep " that had been built against the interior walls ( a similar ronded keep construction can still be seen in Teylingen ) was slowly dismantled and reused for city construction . Symbol of Leiden . As the city of Leiden grew around it in the 13th and 14th centuries , the ruined castle lost its military function . The location became a romantic patriotic symbol after the Siege of Leiden in 1574 , as historians recalled the earlier sieges of Leiden : Ada in 1203 and the siege in 1420 ( Hook and Cod wars ) . The stained - glass windows number 25 & 26 in the Janskerk ( Gouda ) designed by the Leiden artist and councilman Isaac van Swanenburg glorifies this history in 1601 by commemorating the latest siege ( glass 25 , paid for by the Delft city council and featuring William the Silent as liberator ) with a comparison to the " historical " story of the Siege of Samaria ( glass 26 , paid for by the Leiden city council and featuring the text of the biblical story with God as savior ) . The city of Samaria is portrayed with a watch tower much like the Leidse Burcht . Public park . In 1651 the city bought the premises to make it into a water tower for public use . A system of waterpipes leading to squares in the city is still intact . In this period a new portal on the keep wall was designed in 1662 with heraldric symbols by Rombout Verhulst , denoting the leading families of the city . There are two other gates to the Burcht , one at the base of the hill with wrought iron heraldric weapons , built in 1653 , and one on the south side of the complex , which itself forms a gateway to the park . In this Southern gateway a poem in Latin was used for centuries to teach the rudiments of grammar to Leiden students . A memorial plaque was placed in 1999 with the modern translation in Dutch .
