44th Indian Infantry Brigade The 44th Indian Infantry Brigade was an Infantry formation of the Indian Army during World War II . The brigade was formed in June 1941 , at Poona in India and assigned to the 17th Indian Infantry Division . Under the command of Brigadier George Ballentine , on establishment the brigade drew a mix of regular soldiers , reservists and new recruits to form three infantry battalions ; various supporting units were formed between August and September . A signals section was formed in late December . Due to the rapid expansion of the Indian Army , the brigade suffered from a shortage of experienced leaders , with each infantry battalion having on average only three British officers and also lacking Indian viceroy - commissioned officers and non - commissioned officers . The brigade ' s manpower problems were made worse in late 1941 when an experienced cadre of 250 personnel were transferred from the brigade in order to form another unit . They were replaced by a large number of inexperienced soldiers , many of whom were under 18 years old . In January 1942 , the 44th was transferred to Malaya Command which was giving ground to a strong Japanese force that had invaded Malaya the previous December . During the campaign on the peninsula , the brigade was involved in the Battle of Muar . After the withdrawal of British Commonwealth forces across the Johore Strait to Singapore , the brigade was briefly placed under the command of the Australian 8th Division in February 1942 and assigned to defend an area around the Causeway . The Japanese launched an invasion of the island on 8 February . The brigade took part in the subsequent fighting , but after a week surrendered to the Japanese along with the rest of the garrison on 15 February .

First Battle of the Isonzo The First Battle of the Isonzo was fought between the Armies of Italy and Austria - Hungary on the Italian Front in World War I , between June 23 and July 7 , 1915 . The aim of the Italian Army was to drive the Austrians away from its defensive positions along the Soča ( Isonzo ) and on the nearby mountains . Although the Italians enjoyed a 2 : 1 numeric superiority , their offensive failed because the Italian commander , Luigi Cadorna , employed frontal assault s after impressive ( but short ) artillery barrages . The Austrians had the advantage of fighting from uphill positions barricaded with barbed wire which were able to easily resist the Italian assault . The heaviest fighting occurred around Gorizia where Italian troops were able to advance as far as the suburbs , only to be later repelled . Early in July the Austrian commander , Svetozar Boroević , received two reinforcement division s , which put an end to the Italian efforts at breaking through the Austrian lines . The final Italian gains were minimal : in the northern sector , they conquered the heights over Bovec ( Mount Kanin ) ; in the southern sector , they conquered the westernmost ridges of the Kras plateau near Fogliano Redipuglia and Monfalcone .
DUDEK The TgS - 1 DUDEK ( Polish : " hoopoe " ) ( Dalekopisowe Urządzenie Do Elektronicznego Kodowania - - " Teleprinter Device for Electronic Coding " ) was an on - line and off - line encryption system developed during the Cold War in the 1960s in communist Poland by the Telkom Teletra company and the Ministry of Interior for use on teleprinter circuits . The units saw use in the Polish Ministerstwo Spraw Wewnętrznych networks serving the ( Milicja Obywatelska ) , the ( Służba Bezpieczeństwa ) , the Polish Ministry of National Defense ( Ministerstwo Obrony Narodowej ) , the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ( Ministerstwo Spraw Zagranicznych ) and the National Bank of Poland ( Narodowy Bank Polski ) . The Poles also pressed Warsaw Pact states to adopt the DUDEK sets for international traffic . The DUDEK series used random symmetric keys provided on paper tapes , which were XOR ed by the unit with the plaintext provided from the teleprinter or recorded on different paper tapes . The DUDEK sets were to be used in conjunction with teleprinters like the Siemens / Ceska Zbrojovka T - 100 or the RFT T - 51 . The maximum transmission speed was at 50 or 75 Baud . The system was cleared up to the top secret level by the Poles provided that it served within the Tempested environment . A newer and slightly improved model using the TTL technology instead of toroid cores logic was developed in the late 1970s and named the TgS - 3 DUDEK . The last DUDEK sets were retired by the Policja as of January 1 , 2011 . Versions . At least four basic versions are known to have existed : Each version also had derivative models , which differed with regard to the type of punched paper readers and the associated ancillaries . The T - 352 and T - 353 were the " Stasi " adopted names of the TgS - 1 and TgS - 1M DUDEK sets respectively .

Annus Mirabilis of 1759 The Annus Mirabilis of 1759 took place in the context of the Seven Years ' War and Great Britain ' s military success against French - led opponents on several continents . The term is taken from Latin and is used to mean " year of miracles " or " year of wonders " . It was particularly well received by the British public as it came following several years of disasters since the beginning of hostilities in 1756 marked by the loss of Minorca and defeats at the Battle of the Monongahela , the Battle of Oswego and the Battle of Fort William Henry . The British had entered the year anticipating a French invasion of Britain , but ended it dominant in all theatres in which they faced France . In North America , the British captured Fort Ticonderoga , drove the French out of the Ohio Country , conquered Quebec as a result of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham , and captured Guadeloupe in the West Indies . In India , they repulsed the French Siege of Madras . In Europe , British troops took part in a major Allied victory at the Battle of Minden . The victory of the Royal Navy in the sea battles of Lagos and Quiberon Bay ended any real prospect of a French invasion . Britain gained almost total supremacy of the seas and would retain it for more than a century and a half . The succession of victories led Horace Walpole to remark , " Our bells are worn threadbare with ringing for victories " . Several of the triumphs assumed an iconic place in the eyes of the British public , and this was borne out by representations in art and music such as the popular song " Heart of Oak " and the later painting " The Death of General Wolfe " . Frank McLynn has identified 1759 as the year which prefigured the rise of the British Empire in eclipsing France as the dominant global power . Much of the credit for the British success was given to William Pitt the Elder , who directed strategy as part of his duties as Secretary of State for the Southern Department , rather than to the Prime Minister , the Duke of Newcastle – although recent historians have portrayed the British cabinet as a more collective leadership than had previously been thought . 1762 was a similarly successful year for the British ; they resisted a Franco - Spanish Invasion of Portugal , captured Martinique from France , and Havana and Manila from Spain . This led some to describe it as the " Second Annus Mirabilis " .
