Battle at Herdaler The Battle at Herdaler was a battle between the Norse Viking leader Olav Haraldsson ( later King of Norway ) and Finnish people at Herdaler in Finland around years 1007 / 8 . The Saga of Olaf Haraldson tells how Olav Haraldsson ( Olaf II of Norway , also Saint Olaf ) , the King of Norway , plundered in Finland and was almost killed in the battle . After this they sailed to Finland and plundered there , and went < br > up the country . All the people fled to the forest , and they had < br > emptied their houses of all household goods . The king went far < br > up the country , and through some woods , and came to some < br > dwellings in a valley called Herdaler , - - where , however , they < br > made but small booty , and saw no people ; and as it was getting < br > late in the day , the king turned back to his ships . Now when < br > they came into the woods again people rushed upon them from all < br > quarters , and made a severe attack . The king told his men to < br > cover themselves with their shields , but before they got out of < br > the woods he lost many people , and many were wounded ; but at < br > last , late in the evening , he got to the ships . The Finlanders < br > conjured up in the night , by their witchcraft , a dreadful storm < br > and bad weather on the sea ; but the king ordered the anchors to < br > be weighed and sail hoisted , and beat off all night to the < br > outside of the land . The king ' s luck prevailed more than the < br > Finlanders ' witchcraft ; for he had the luck to beat round the < br > Balagard ' s side in the night . and so got out to sea . But the < br > Finnish army proceeded on land , making the same progress as the < br > king made with his ships . So says Sigvat : - - < br > < br > " The third fight was at Herdaler , where < br > The men of Finland met in war < br > The hero of the royal race , < br > With ringing sword - blades face to face . < br > Off Balagard ' s shore the waves < br > Ran hollow ; but the sea - king saves < br > His hard - pressed ship , and gains the lee < br > Of the east coast through the wild sea . " < br > The location of " Herdaler " in Finland is not certain . The expedition ' s possible place could have been north of Uusimaa in Hirdal in the present - day town of Ingå . That makes it the first mentioning of a place located in present - day Finland in historical literature . It has been suggested that based on the similarity of names " Herdaler " and " Balagard " to names Härjedalen and Dalagård , the king ' s expedition would have actually taken place in Dal River area in Sweden . For one reason or another , Olaf ' s plundering in Sweden would have been relocated to Finland , although this is speculation .

Anglo - Spanish War ( 1796 – 1808 ) The Anglo - Spanish War between 1796 and 1802 , and again from 1804 to 1808 , was a part of the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars . The war ended in an alliance . In the War of the First Coalition , Spain had fought against Revolutionary France and had been defeated . In 1796 , Spanish Prime Minister Godoy faced a decision : whether to continue to fight Revolutionary France or to join the French side and hope for better times . He chose the latter and signed the Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1796 , allying Spain to France , in exchange for French support for Charles IV ' s relations ruling the Italian Duchy of Parma . In response , the British blockaded Spain in 1797 , impairing communications with its American colonies . By the end of 1798 , a Spanish battle fleet was defeated in the Battle of Cape St Vincent , and Minorca and Trinidad were occupied by the British . A British attempt to capture the strategically important island of Tenerife failed . The Treaty of Amiens in 1802 provided for a temporary truce in hostilities , only to be broken in 1804 , when , as part of the reopening of the war with Napoleons France , the British captured a Spanish squadron of frigate s carrying gold bullion to Cádiz . The French planned an invasion of England in the coming year ; the Spanish fleet was to be an integral part in assisting this invasion . At the Battle of Trafalgar , in 1805 , a combined Franco - Spanish fleet , attempting to join forces with the French fleets in the north for the invasion , were attacked by a British fleet in one of history ' s greatest naval engagements . The decisive British victory ended Napoleon ' s hopes of an invasion of Britain . It seriously shook the resolve of the unpopular Spanish government , which began to doubt the utility of its uncertain alliance with France . Meanwhile , a British campaign ( 1806 – 1807 ) to conquer the strategically important Rio de la Plata region in South America met with failure . After Trafalgar , Godoy withdrew from the Continental System that Napoleon had devised to combat Britain , only to join it again in 1807 , after Napoleon had defeated the Prussians . Napoleon , however , had lost his faith in Godoy and King Charles ; there was also growing support in Spain for the king ' s son , Ferdinand , who opposed the widely despised Godoy . Ferdinand , however , favoured an alliance with Britain , and Napoleon had always doubted the trustworthiness of any Bourbon royalty . In 1807 , France and Spain invaded Portugal , and , on 1 December , Lisbon was captured with no military opposition . In the beginning of 1808 , the French presence in Spain was so predominant that it led to revolt . Napoleon then removed King Charles and his son Ferdinand to Bayonne and forced them both to abdicate on 5 May , giving the throne to his brother Joseph . This led to the Peninsula War and the de facto end of the Anglo - Spanish War , as George Canning , foreign secretary of His Majesty ' s Government , declared :

Then , Signalmen were identified by the symbol of two crossed semaphore flags on the right sleeve of the uniform , integrated with their rank insignia . Signalmen were responsible for transmitting , receiving , encoding , decoding , and distributing messages obtained via the visual transmission systems of flag semaphore , visual morse code , and flaghoist signalling . The U . S . Navy disestablished the rating of Signalman in late 2003 , reassigning visual communications duties to the Quartermaster rating . Signalmen were either absorbed into the Quartermaster rating , or allowed to switch to other job fields in the Navy . Many chose the Master - at - Arms rating , which expanded dramatically to meet the needs of the Navy in the War on Terror . Australian usage . Royal Australian Navy .

Battle of Paraitacene The Battle of Paraitacene ( also called Paraetacene or Paraitakene ; ) was a battle in the wars of the successors of Alexander the Great ( see diadochi ) between Antigonus I Monophthalmus and Eumenes . It was fought in 317 BC . Background . After the death of Alexander the Great , his generals immediately began squabbling over his huge empire . Soon it degenerated into open warfare , with each general attempting to claim a portion of Alexander ' s vast kingdom . One of the most talented successor generals ( Diadochi ) was Antigonus Monophthalmus , so called because of an eye he lost in a siege . During the early years of warfare between the Diadochi , he faced Eumenes , a capable general who had already crushed Craterus . The two Diadochi fought a series of battles across Anatolia and Persia . In the summer of 317 BC , Eumenes , trying to capitalize on an earlier victory , was on the move against Antigonus . The two armies came to face one another in the lands of the Paraetaceni , to the northeast of Susa . Battle . Antigonus deployed his army obliquely , the right wing leading , in the same fashion used by Alexander and Philip . Antigonus deployed his light horse on the left , his heavy cavalry and light infantry were placed on the right flank resting on the hills . His phalanx held the center , while the elephants were spread across the line . Eumenes , also placed his phalanx in the center , with the elite Argyraspides . His left flank , resting near the hill , was made up of cavalry , elephants and auxiliaries . The right flank was led by Eumenes himself with his heavy cavalry . The battle began with Antigonus ' light horse attacking Eumenes line . Eumenes dispersed this force with a flanking attack of his own light cavalry squadrons brought over from his left flank . In the center , the phalanxes engaged , again to Eumenes ’ advantage due to the incredible skill of the Argyraspides who , despite their age ( 60 to 70 years old ) , seemed invincible . With his light horse in ruins , and his phalanx being pushed back , the situation looked grave for Antigonus . However , Antigonus observed that the very success of the Argyraspides had led them forward to reveal a gap in the battle line as it detached from their left flank . In a bold move Antigonus charged his heavy cavalry into this gap , wheeling to the rear of Eumenes ' cavalry . The attack proved successful – ending what seemed to be the start of a Eumenes victory over another opponent . The battle slowed as both side tried to rally broken units . As the day ended , both armies retired to their camps . Antigonus claimed victory , even though he lost some 3 , 700 infantry to death , and a further 4 , 000 wounded . Eumenes came off with a loss of only 540 infantry killed and some 1 , 000 injured . Their next major confrontation would be the Battle of Gabiene .
