Also called The Sailors ' Memorial Clock , the cornerstone was laid by the Prince of Wales , on Oct . 31 , 1919 , with the 45 - metre tower completed two years later as a memorial to the Canadian sailors who died in the First World War . The original plans called for the clockworks to be connected to five bells that would chime every hour , but the carillon was never built . The clock was constructed in Croydon , England by the firm of Gillett & Johnston , and its mechanism is similar to the one that drives Big Ben at the Palace of Westminster . Visitors can make the 192 - step climb to take in the view .
10 . 5 cm leFH 18 / 40 The 10 . 5 cm leFH 18 / 40 ( " light field howitzer " ) was a German light howitzer used in the Second World War . History . The 10 . 5 cm leFH 18 / 40 supplemented the 10 . 5 cm leFH 18 and the 10 . 5 cm leFH 18M as the standard divisional field howitzer used during the Second World War . It was designed in an effort to lighten the weight of the 105 mm artillery piece and to make it easier to produce . Generally it did not equip independent artillery battalions until after the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943 . Some were also exported to Finland , where they were known as 105 H 33 - 40 . Description . In March 1942 a requirement was issued for a lighter howitzer by the Wehrmacht that must also be ready as soon as possible and capable of rapid production . This requirement was met by mounting the barrel of the leFH 18M on the carriage for a 7 . 5 cm PaK 40 antitank gun . The new carriage used torsion bars running the full length of the carriage to suspend the wheels . The original wheels of the PaK 40 mounting were too small for use by the howitzer and were replaced by larger pressed - steel wheels with solid rubber tires . The new mounting increased the rate of fire as well as making the howitzer somewhat lighter . The leFH 18 / 40 shared the different muzzle brakes used by the leFH 18M .

William II de La Marck William II de la Marck ( Lummen , 1542 – Bishopric of Liège , 1 May 1578 ) ( Dutch : " Willem II van der Marck " ) was Lord of Lumey and initially admiral of the Watergeuzen , the so - called ' sea beggars ' who fought in the Eighty Years ' War ( 1568 – 1648 ) , together with among others William the Silent , Prince of Orange - Nassau . He was the great - grandson of an equally notorious character , baron William de la Marck , nicknamed the " wild boar of the Ardennes " . On 1 April 1572 – the day of the Capture of Brielle – the Sea Beggars were led by De la Marck , and by two of his captains , Willem Bloys van Treslong and Lenaert Jansz de Graeff . After they were expelled from England by Elizabeth I , they needed a place to shelter their 25 ships . As they sailed towards Brill , they were surprised to find out that the Spanish garrison had left in order to deal with trouble in Utrecht . On the evening of 1 April , the 600 men sacked the undefended port . As they were preparing to leave , one of the men said there was no reason they should leave where they were . Lumey has been accused of more than one atrocity — on 9 July 1572 he summarily executed the Martyrs of Gorkum , 19 Dutch Roman Catholic priests and religious who were ultimately canonized in 1865 . Their crime was their refusal to abandon their belief in the Blessed Sacrament and in papal supremacy , even under torture . Lumey ' s action was contrary to orders he received from William the Silent . Having conquered South - Holland and controlling North - Holland and Zeeland , on 20 June 1572 Lumey was appointed stadtholder of Holland and consequently Captain General , i . e . military Commander in Chief of the conquered territories . It has never been evidenced that Lumey recognized either the authority or the seniority of the Prince of Orange , who was eventually recognized as the leader of the Low Countries ' uprising against the King Philip II of Spain . In 1576 Lumey was banned from the Netherlands , either by the States of Holland or the Prince of Orange . He is said to have participated in the lost Battle of Gembloux against the Spanish . He went back to his homeland , the Bishopric of Liège , where on 1 May 1578 he died in his residence on Mont - Saint - Martin . The cause of his demise has never been established , but death by poisoning is still open as a possibility . There is evidence that the earthly remains of William van der Marck are stowed away in a casket , that is bricked up in the Arenberg - family crypt under the former Capuchin Monastery Church at Enghien , today located in Belgium .
Battle of Beth Horon ( 166 BC ) The Battle of Beth Horon was fought in 166 BC between Jewish forces led by Judas Maccabaeus and a Seleucid Empire force under the command of Seron . The rebel army led by Judas Maccabeus was growing in strength . They had just inflicted a crushing defeat upon the Seleucid General Apollonius and now they faced the forces of Governor Seron , who was overconfident . With Maccabeus ' superior knowledge of the terrain , the rebels prepared to ambush . Seron had anticipated this and spread out his force , but the Maccabees exhibited superior tactical skill by decimating the general ' s leading unit and killing Seron himself . With their leader dead , the shocked and disconcerted remnants of the Seleucid army took to the hills and ran . The stubborn Seleucids refused to give up their phalanx - based tactics creating problems for them on the battlefield . Another force was soon sent against Maccabaeus , which led to the Battle of Emmaus .

Volkstrauertag Volkstrauertag ( ) is a public holiday in Germany two Sundays before the first day of Advent . It commemorates all those who died in armed conflicts or as the victims of violent oppression . It was first observed in its modern form in 1952 . History . A " Volkstrauertag " was proposed in 1919 by the German War Graves Commission ( " Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge " ) as a commemoration for German soldiers killed in the First World War . It was first held in 1922 in the Reichstag and in 1926 , it was decided to observe " Volkstrauertag " regularly on Reminiscere ( the second Sunday of Lent . ) In the Weimar years , " Volkstrauertag " was not a legal holiday for several reasons : " Heldengedenktag " ( 1934 – 1945 ) . On 27 February 1934 , the National Socialists introduced national holiday legislation to create " Heldengedenktag " ( Day of Commemoration of Heroes ) , cementing the observance . In the process , they completely changed the character of the holiday : the emphasis shifted to hero worship rather than remembering the dead . Joseph Goebbels as Propaganda Minister , issued guidelines on content and implementation , instructing that flags no longer be flown at half - mast . The last " Heldengedenktag " was celebrated in 1945 . Modern form . After the end of World War Two , " Volkstrauertag " was observed in its original form in West Germany , beginning in 1948 . The first central meeting of the German War Graves Commission took place in 1950 in the Bundestag in Bonn . In 1952 , in an effort to distinguish " Volkstrauertag " from " Heldengedenktag " , its date was changed to the end of the ecclesiastical year , a time traditionally devoted to thoughts of death , time and eternity . Its scope was also broadened to include those who died due to the violence of an oppressive government , not just those who died in war . Observation . An official observation of " Volkstrauertag " takes place in the German Bundestag . The President of Germany traditionally gives a speech with the Chancellor , the cabinet and the diplomatic corps present . The national anthem and the song " Ich hatt ' einen Kameraden " are then played . Most provinces also hold their own ceremonies ; veterans usually organize ceremonies that include a procession from the respective Church service to a war memorial , prayer by the pastor , speeches by the mayor and the veterans ' chairmen , a military guard of honor , several wreaths are laid , and “ Ich hatt ' einen Kameraden ” ; where available , also with the attendance of a Bundeswehr officer as official representative . Because of the relation to Advent , the date is the Sunday nearest 16 November , i . e . in the period from 13 November to 19 November .
TID - class tug TID was a standardized British design for a tugboat drawn up and built during the Second World War . One hundred and eighty two ( TID - 1 to TID - 12 and TID - 14 to TID - 183 ) were built for the Ministry of War Transport . Manufacture . Richard Dunston Ltd . , a ship - building company with yards at Thorne on the Stainforth and Keadby Canal and at Hessle on the Humber , had pioneered the use of welded construction , rather than the more conventional rivetting , since 1933 , although they had never built an all - welded vessel . An order for 12 tugs in 1942 was the opportunity to try such a design . They designed the hulls so that they could be made up from eight separate sections , which were fabricated by manufacturers with spare welding capacity . Shipbuilders with spare capacity were in short supply at the time , but other non - shipbuilding industry was available . Each of the sections was a maximum of by by , and weighed less than 6 tons , so that they could be transported by road to the Thorne yard . At the yard , the sections were fitted together by welders , many of whom were women , and the engines were installed . The first tug was ready for despatch in February 1943 , and for more than a year , one left the yard every five days . The first 90 tugs built were fitted with coal - fired boiler , while subsequent ones were oil - fired . Dunston ' s built a total of 159 TID tugs , of which 152 were built at Thorne and seven at Hessle . These were supplemented by 23 which were built at the yard of William Pickersgill & Co . , of Sunderland . Several of the oil - fired tugs were shipped to the Far East as deck cargo on larger vessels . As designed they were long by in the beam by deep , measuring 54 GRT . Draught when laden was - a displacement of 124 tons . Propulsion was a 220 ihp 2 cylinder reciprocating steam engine driving a single screw . Steam was from coal or later oil - the change being to allow use in the Far East . They were capable of around 8 knots .

Elements of the 19th " Panzergreandier " Brigade , the 65th Heavy Artillery Regiment , the 152nd " Panzerjǎger " Battalion and the 18th " Werfer " ( Rocket ) Battalion with the 615th " Flak " ( anti - aircraft ) Battalion which was used to expand the brigade into a division . In January 1945 , the division included the following sub - units : The 1st and 2nd " Skijäger " Regiments , each had a headquarters staff , three ski infantry battalions , an engineer platoon , a signals detachment and a " panzerjäger " detachment of two heavy anti - tank guns . Each of the three " Skijäger " battalions included : Regimental 13th motorized support company had a platoon of eight self - propelled 20 mm " Flak " cannon , a platoon of six heavy machine guns and a " panzerjäger " platoon of six 75 mm " Pak " anti - tank guns , 18 anti - tank rifles and one light machine gun . The 152nd artillery regiment had four battalions , with a total of 24 105 mm howitzers , 12 120 mm mortars , 12 150 mm howitzers and 59 machine guns . The 1st Ski Fusilier Battalion had four Fusilier companies ( with nine light machine guns and two " Sturm " platoons each ) and a Heavy Company ( see above ) . The 1st Heavy Ski Battalion was probably one of the heaviest battalions in the " Wehrmacht " , with : The 152nd " Panzerjäger " Battalion had two " Sturmgeschütz " batteries of 10 " Stug III " ( self - propelled , armored artillery mounting a 75 mm gun and a machine gun on an obsolete " Panzer III " chassis ) . The division ' s other units were the 85th Ski Pioneer battalion , the 152nd Ski Signals Troop and the 152nd Ski " Feldersatz " ( Replacement ) Battalion .
