Robert Gee Captain Robert Gee ( 7 May 1876 – 2 August 1960 ) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross , the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces . Born in Leicester , he was 41 years old , and a temporary captain in the 2nd Battalion , The Royal Fusiliers , British Army during the First World War when he was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions on 30 November 1917 at Masnières and Les Rues Vertes , France : An attack by the enemy captured brigade headquarters and ammunition dump . Captain Gee , finding himself a prisoner , managed to escape and organised a party of the brigade staff with which he attacked the enemy , closely followed by two companies of infantry . He cleared the locality and established a defensive flank , then finding an enemy machine - gun still in action , with a revolver in each hand he went forward and captured the gun , killing eight of the crew . He was wounded , but would not have his wound dressed until the defence was organised . He later transferred to the Royal West Kent Regiment . Post war . After the war , Gee went into politics . He first stood for Parliament as a National Democratic Party candidate in the 1918 General Election at Consett , where he finished second . He then stood for Parliament as a Conservative in the 1921 Woolwich East by - election against Ramsay MacDonald . A great deal of attention was given in the campaign to the contrast between Gee as a Victoria Cross holder and Macdonald as a pacifist who opposed the war . Gee won the seat . He died in Perth , Australia , aged 84 . He was cremated at the Karrakatta Crematorium . His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Royal Fusiliers Museum in the Tower of London , England .

Capture of Cayo Cocina The Capture of Cayo Cocina ( also known as Saint George ' s Caye ) was the result of a Spanish military operation on 15 September 1779 against a British settlement on Saint George ' s Caye , just off the coast of present - day Belize , during the American War of Independence . The settlement was at the time the major British population center in the area , and was attacked by Spanish forces from the Captaincy General of Guatemala . The entire population ( 140 Baymen along with 250 of their enslaved population ) were removed , forced to march overland from Bacalar to Mérida and then transported by sea to Havana . Settlers who had been working on the mainland eventually made their way to other nearby British settlements at Roatán or Black River . In 1782 the prisoners were released and sent to Jamaica . The entire Belizean territory was abandoned until 1784 , after British logging rights were confirmed in the 1783 Treaty of Paris .

Security agency A security agency is a governmental organization which conducts intelligence activities for the internal security of a nation . They are the domestic cousins of foreign intelligence agencies , and typically conduct counterintelligence to thwart other countries ' foreign intelligence efforts . For example , the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) is a security agency , while the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) is a foreign intelligence agency , which deals with the country ' s external security and intelligence . A similar relationship exists in Britain between MI5 and MI6 . The distinction , or overlap , between security agencies , national police , and gendarmerie organizations varies by country . For example , in the United States , one organization , the FBI , is a national police , an internal security agency , and a counterintelligence agency . In other countries , separate agencies exist , although the nature of their work causes them to interact . For example , in France , the Police nationale and the Gendarmerie nationale both handle policing duties , and the Direction centrale du renseignement intérieur handles counterintelligence . Likewise , the distinction , or overlap , between military and civilian security agencies varies between countries . In the United States , the FBI and CIA are civilian agencies , although they have various paramilitary traits and have professional relationships with the U . S . ' s military intelligence organizations . In many countries all intelligence efforts answer to the military , whether by official design or at least on a de facto basis . Countries where various military and civilian agencies divide responsibilities tend to reorganize their efforts over the decades to force the various agencies to cooperate more effectively , integrating ( or at least coordinating ) their efforts with some unified directorate . For example , after many years of turf wars , the member agencies of the U . S . intelligence community are now coordinated by the Director of National Intelligence , with the hope to reduce stovepiping of information . Security agencies frequently have " security " , " intelligence " or " service " in their names . Private organizations that provide services similar to a security agency might be called a " security company " or " security service " , but those terms can also be used for organizations that have nothing to do with intelligence gathering .
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 17 Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 17 ( SLC - 17 ) , previously designated Launch Complex 17 ( LC - 17 ) , was a launch site at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station , Florida used for Thor and Delta rocket launches between 1958 and 2011 . It was built in 1956 for use with the PGM - 17 Thor missile , the first operational ballistic missile in the arsenal of the United States . More recently the launch complex has been used for vehicles in the Delta rocket family to launch probes to the Moon and planets , solar observatories and weather satellites . SLC - 17 features expendable launch vehicle ( ELV ) launch pads , 17A and 17B . The pads were operated by the US Air Force ' s 45th Space Wing and have supported more than 300 Department of Defense , NASA and commercial missile and rocket launches . Following the last military launch , in August 2009 , SLC - 17A was withdrawn from use , and SLC - 17B was transferred to NASA for two remaining launches . Pad 17A supported its first Thor missile launch on 3 August 1957 , and Pad 17B supported its first Thor launch on 25 January 1957 . The site was upgraded in the early 1960s to support a variety of more modern ELVs , which were derived from the basic Thor booster . The modern ELVs based on Thor came to be called the Delta family of rockets . Thirty - five early Delta rocket missions were launched from Complex 17 between the beginning of 1960 and the end of 1965 . At that time the complex was operated by the Air Force . The Air Force transferred Complex 17 to NASA in 1965 , but the site was returned to the Air Force in 1988 to support the Delta II program . As Delta II launches continued over the next decade , Pad 17B was modified in 1997 to support a new , more powerful launch vehicle , the Delta III , which made its maiden flight from the complex on 26 August 1998 . The launch ended in failure , as did a second launch the next year . After a third launch on 23 August 2000 placed a mass simulator into a lower than planned orbit , the program was abandoned . Among the major NASA missions launched from the complex were the Explorer and Pioneer space probes , all of the Orbiting Solar Observatories , Solar Maximum , Biological Satellites ( BIOS ) , Television Infrared Observations Satellites ( TIROS ) and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite s ( GOES ) . On 10 September 2011 , a Delta II 7925H - 10C made the final launch from Space Launch Complex 17 , carrying NASA ' s GRAIL spacecraft .
Leopold Lojka Leopold Lojka ( also spelt Leopold Loyka ) ( 1885 – 1926 ) was the chauffeur of the car carrying Austro - Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand at the point of Ferdinand ' s assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 . Lojka was born in 1885 in the town of Znojmo in southern Moravia in the Austro - Hungarian Empire ( now part of the Czech Republic ) . He became a professional chauffeur in the service of Franz , Count Harrach , an Austro - Hungarian nobleman and close friend of heir to the Austro - Hungarian throne , Archduke Franz Ferdinand . Lojka accompanied his employer and the Archduke on their trip to Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 so as to serve as Ferdinand ' s chauffeur . Shortly after leaving the military barracks where Ferdinand had been inspecting the local Imperial garrison , the car was attacked by a Serb Young Bosnia terrorist , who threw a bomb at it . However , Lojka was able to swerve out of the way and the bomb bounced away , injuring several soldiers in the car behind . Despite protestations from his wife Sophie , Ferdinand decided to visit the injured soldiers in the hospital . However , this was off the planned route and Lojka had not been informed of the change in plans and was not familiar with the new route . Consequently , as he was driving away from the hospital to head out of Sarajevo , Lojka took a wrong turn down a backstreet . Realising his mistake , Lojka began to reverse out . However , it so happened that Young Bosnia assassin Gavrilo Princip was sitting in a café on the street just as Ferdinand ' s car began to pull into it . Princip seized his chance and ran out of the café with his Model 1910 7 . 65 mm FN Browning . Spotting him , Lojka attempted to reverse faster , but his foot missed the accelerator pedal . As a consequence , Princip shot and killed the Archduke , shooting him in the jugular vein , and his wife , in her stomach . After the assassination , Lojka was given the task of sending three telegrams : one for the Austro - Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph , one for the German Emperor Wilhelm II , and one for the children of Archduke Franz Ferdinand . He also served as a witness for the prosecution in the Young Bosnia trial . Lojka was later awarded 400 , 000 crowns by Austro - Hungarian emperor Charles I , which he used to buy an inn in Brno in Czechoslovakia . There he became an innkeeper , and would often show off the bloodstained braces of Franz Ferdinand and a piece of Sophie ' s golden bracelet . He died in Brno in 1926 . Since his death , the role of chauffeur of Franz Ferdinand ' s car has often been erroneously attributed to a ' Franz Urban ' .
USS Alcedo ( SP - 166 ) USS " Alcedo " ( SP - 166 ) was a yacht in the United States Navy . She was the first American vessel lost in World War I . " Alcedo " was built in 1895 at Glasgow , Scotland , by D . and W . Henderson and Company . She was purchased by the Navy on 1 June 1917 from Mr . George W . C . Drexel of Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , and commissioned at New York on 28 July 1917 , Lieutenant Commander William T . Conn , Jr . , in command . Service history . Assigned to the Patrol Force , " Alcedo " departed Newport , Rhode Island on 5 August 1917 . Steaming via Newfoundland and the Azores , the yacht arrived at Brest , France on the 30th . During her brief Navy career , the yacht conducted anti - submarine patrol s and convoy - escort missions along the French coast . On two occasions , she rescued crew members of torpedo ed merchantmen . On 17 October , the little warship picked up 118 men from the steamer SS " Antilles " . Twelve days later , she saved another 85 survivors from SS " Finland " . On the afternoon of 4 November , " Alcedo " departed Quiberon Bay , France with , and as the escort for a convoy composed of SS " Florence Luckenbach " , SS " Artemis " , and SS " Newport News " bound for Brest . At about 01 : 45 the following morning , while the convoy was steaming some west of Belle He , an " Alcedo " crewman reported sighting a surfaced U - boat . Almost instantaneously with the sounding of the alarm , the German submarine " UC - 71 " fired a single torpedo in a surface attack . ( Some " Alcedo " records suggest that the U - boat submerged first , but the official German account confirms a surface attack . ) " Alcedo " attempted to change course to evade the torpedo , but she answered her helm sluggishly . The torpedo struck the yacht on the port side well forward , and " Alcedo " began to settle fast . Soon after the hit , the ship ' s commanding officer ordered her abandoned , and she went down in eight minutes . The yacht lost one officer , Lieutenant , junior grade John Melvin , and 20 sailors in the action to both wounds and drowning . The remainder of her crew took to the boats in two separate groups . After a long time rowing , one group — which included the commanding officer — was picked up by a French torpedo boat . The other was towed to safety by French fishermen . " Alcedo ' s " name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 17 December 1917 . As of 2005 , no other ship has been named USS " Alcedo " .

Swiatecki bomb slip Swiatecki bomb slip - was slip bomb device of Polish inventor Władysław Świątecki used in many allied bombers during World War II . History . Świątecki designed a bomb - release system in 1923 . His invention was patented in 1926 in Poland and abroard . The first use was planned for the Karaś P . 23 light bomber and for Łoś bomber but not used . From 1930 the inventor produced the " Swiatecki bomb slip " in own branch in Lublin . First use of his invention took place in 1925 when the Polish Navy mounted it in imported aircraft - Cant Z - 506 B . Świątecki sold licences from 1937 to France - Gardy , and Italy - Caproni . After the Invasion of Poland in 1939 Świątecki evacuated to Hungary and via Yugoslavia and Italy to France ( Paris ) where he worked as engineer in military industry . Then , when France collapsed in June 1940 , he escaped again , with his family , travelling to North Africa and then by ship to England . There he demonstrated his device to the Ministry of Aircraft Production . He went on to serve in the Royal Air Force as a Flight Lieutenant . The slip device was modified for use in the Lancasters of 9 , 12 and 617 Squadrons of the Royal Air Force for the use of the Tallboy and Grand Slam giant aerial bombs . The Boeing B - 29 was modified to carry Grand Slam and Tallboy and the giant 42000 lb T - 12 bomb , the slip device ( The D - 9 carrier ) was a modification of the Swiatecki bomb slip . These weapons were the largest air - dropped bombs before the atomic bomb . In Project Harken and Project Ruby the Swiatecki devices performed flawlessly . His slip device was the subject of debate at the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors from 1946 to 1955 . The Ministry claimed the device was invented at the Royal Aircraft Establishment , Farnborough and developed by Vickers Armstrongs . The family received an ex gratia award of £350 . In 1943 , an updated version of Świątecki invention was created by Jerzy Rudlicki for the American Boeing B - 17 Flying Fortress .
Tarnów rail station bomb attack The Tarnów rail station bomb attack was a bombing carried out by a German agent at Tarnów , Poland . It occurred in the night of August 28 , 1939 , when a time bomb planted by the agent exploded , killing 20 people and wounding 35 . In 1939 , Tarnów was a town with a population of 40 , 000 in southern Poland . Trains passed through the busy main rail station of Tarnów Główny , carrying thousands of travellers , including numerous soldiers reporting to their units , as the international situation worsened day by day . The routine , however , was interrupted at 11 : 18 p . m . , when a time bomb left by a German saboteur exploded in the luggage hall . Twenty people died and it has been argued that World War II started at that point . The saboteur who planted the bomb , a man named Antoni Guzy , was the son of a German mother and a Polish father . His father died during World War I , and in 1938 Guzy , a locksmith , became unemployed . In search of a job , he joined the Gewerkschaft Deutscher Arbeiter , an organization which helped to organize employment in Germany . It was probably through this agency that he was persuaded to carry out the attack . He left two suitcases packed with explosives in the luggage hall and went to a platform to wait for a night Luxtorpeda train from Krynica , via Tarnów , to Kraków , which , according to the schedule , would leave at 23 : 02 . It is probable that Guzy had no idea when the bomb would explode . He had a beer in the station restaurant , before taking a slow walk around the station . When the explosion happened , the saboteur , together with other people , ran away in panic . Reportedly , his German principals wanted him to die in the attack . The number of victims would have been much higher , had it not been for a stopping train from Kraków , which arrived eight minutes late . Also , a few minutes before the attack , a military transport with numerous soldiers had left the Tarnów station . Approximately one - third of the station building was destroyed . Rail workers and policemen spent hours searching for victims in the rubble . It is impossible to reconstruct all the details of the attack . At 11 : 30 a . m . Guzy met a man from Skoczów named Neuman , who was a member of a German saboteur organization . Together , they went by rail to Kraków , leaving Bielsko - Biała station at 12 : 13 p . m . In Kraków they had coffee , and later took two heavy suitcases from a station ' s luggage office . According to Guzy ’ s later statement , Neuman told him to leave both cases at the Tarnów station and return to Kraków , where he would be waiting . After the explosion , Guzy was stopped by the railroad police , asked for his identity papers and released . Stopped again near the station , he was recognised as the man who had left the suitcases . During the interrogation he said that he felt sorry about what had happened , and that he had never received any money . Guzy ’ s subsequent fate is unknown .
