Under the name " Batallón Activo Guardacostas de San Blas " ( San Blas Active Coastguard Battalion ) , it saw action on several occasions culminating in the Mexican - American War . The battalion participated in the Battle of Chapultepec , where commanded by Lt . Colonel Felipe Santiago Xicoténcatl , aided in the defense of the Military Academy in the Chapultepec Castle . Of the 300 men comprising the battalion , only a few survived the battle . It is said that Lt . Col . Xicoténcatl , refusing the idea of letting the American forces capture the Mexican flag identifying his battalion and severely wounded , wrapped himself with the flag and died beside his men . Nowadays , this flag is displayed in the National Museum of History located in Chapultepec Castle . An inscription below it reads as follows : " La defensa del Castillo de Chapultepec estuvo bajo la responsabilidad del general Nicolás Bravo , quien disponía de 200 cadetes del Colegio Militar y 300 soldados del Batallón de San Blas , al mando del teniente coronel Felipe Santiago Xicoténcatl , que trató de contener a los invasores en el bosque . " Aniquilado el batallón de San Blas , los norteamericanos embistieron por el poniente y el sur del Colegio Militar , donde fueron detenidos durante algunas horas por los cadetes ; pero más tarde las divisiones de Quitman y Pillow lograron escalar el cerro a costa de muchas bajas mortales . Translation : The Defense of Chapultepec Castle was under the responsibility of General Nicolás Bravo , who used 200 cadets of the Military Academy and 300 soldiers of the San Blas battalion under the command of lieutenant colonel Felipe Santiago Xicoténcatl and tried to stop the invaders in the woods . With the San Blas Battalion annihilated , the Americans pushed on the western and southern wings of the Castle , where they were stopped for some hours by the cadets , even though later the divisions of Quitman and Pillow managed to ascend the hill at the cost of many casualties .

List of B - 52 Units of the United States Air Force The Boeing B - 52 Stratofortress has been operational with the United States Air Force since 1955 . This list is of the units it was assigned to , and the bases it was stationed . In addition to the USAF , A single RB - 52B ( 52 - 008 ) was flown by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) until it was retired on 17 December 2004 . It now is on static display at the west gate of Edwards AFB , California . One other B - 52H ( 61 - 0025 ) was flown for many years by the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards , and was transferred to NASA on 30 July 2001 as a replacement for the RB - 52B . On 9 May 2008 , that aircraft was flown for the last time to Sheppard AFB , Texas where it became a GB - 52H maintenance trainer , never to fly again . Current USAF B - 52 units . The only active operational model of the B - 52 is the B - 52H . It is currently stationed at two USAF bases , flown by three wings : Historical Strategic Air Command MAJCOM B - 52 units . Strategic Wings wings were established by Strategic Air Command in the late 1950s to disburse its B - 52 bombers over a larger number of bases , thus making it more difficult for the Soviet Union to knock out the entire fleet with a surprise first strike . A 4 - Digit MAJCOM wing , they were considered as temporary , provisional units . Beginning in 1962 , in order to retain the lineage of the Strategic Wings as combat units and to perpetuate the lineage of many currently inactive bombardment units with illustrious World War II records , Headquarters SAC received authority from Headquarters USAF to discontinue its MAJCOM strategic wings that were equipped with combat aircraft and to activate AFCON units , most of which were inactive at the time which could carry a lineage and history . Component units were also redesignated to historically - linked units of the newly - established wing . Therefore the history , lineage and honors of the World War II historical units were bestowed upon the newly established wing upon activation . Provisional B - 52 units . Andersen AFB & Kadena AB started primarily with B - 52F ' s and later B - 52D ' s aircraft ; aircrew and support personnel deployed from CONUS B - 52 wings on a rotational basis / U - TAPAO AB started operation after the B - 52D became the primary mission aircraft ; SW ( P ) 72 at Andersen AFB was only equipped with B - 52G ' s
Combat of Stockerau The Combat of Stockerau was a minor rearguard cavalry skirmish fought by elements of the cavalry of Austrian VI Korps of the " Kaiserlich - königliche Hauptarmee Hauptarmee " under Ludwig von Wallmoden - Gimborn against a single Hessian Guard Chevauleger regiment , under the command of French General Jacob François Marulaz . The combat ended in favour of the Austrians . Context and battle . Following the French victory at the battle of Wagram two days before , the French IV Corps of the " Grande Armée d ' Allemagne " , under Marshal André Masséna was pursuing Johann von Klenau ' s VI Korps of the " Kaiserlich - königliche Hauptarmee Hauptarmee " . After a successful skirmish at Korneuburg on 7 July , Masséna was aware that the enemy was retreating towards Bohemia and continued his pursuit in that direction . Leading Masséna ' s Corps cavalry was General Marulaz , who led the way , at the head of the Hessian " Garde - Chevauleger " regiment , a total of three squadrons , with a complement of 150 men . Arriving with these men at Stockerau , around 43 kilometers from Vienna , on 8 July , Marulaz was attacked by the Austrian hussar s of Austrian VI Korps .

George Llewelyn Davies George Llewelyn Davies ( 20 July 1893 - 15 March 1915 ) was the eldest son of Arthur and Sylvia Llewelyn Davies . Along with his brothers , George was the inspiration for playwright J . M . Barrie ' s characters of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys . The character of Mr . George Darling was named after him . He died in combat in World War I . Early life . Davies and his brother Jack met Barrie during their regular outings to Kensington Gardens , with their nurse Mary Hodgson . As the oldest ( he was four years old when he met Barrie ) he featured most prominently in the early storytelling and play adventures from which the writer drew ideas for Barrie ' s works around that time about young boys . He and Jack ( and to a lesser extent Peter ) were featured in a photo storybook " The Boy Castaways " which Barrie made during a shared holiday at Barrie ' s Black Lake Cottage in 1901 . In the 1904 play " Peter Pan , or The Boy Who Wouldn ' t Grow Up " , Peter Pan is roughly 10 - the same age that Davies was when Barrie began writing the play in 1903 . Barrie reported taking some of the characterization of Peter and individual Lost Boys from things Davies and his younger brothers said or did . For example , in response to Barrie ' s oral tales about babies who died and went to live in Neverland , the boy reportedly exclaimed , " To die will be an awfully big adventure " ; this became one of Peter Pan ' s most memorable lines . Barrie financially supported Davies and his brothers following the death of their father ( 1907 ) , and became their primary guardian following the death of their mother ( 1910 ) . Davies remained very close with " Uncle Jim " as he grew up and went away to school , with the two exchanging letters regularly . His youngest brother Nico later described him ( and their brother Michael ) as " The Ones " : the boys who meant the most to Barrie . Adult life . Davies attended Eton College , where he excelled at sports ( especially cricket ) and was elected to the elite social club Pop while still an underclassman . He later attended Trinity College , Cambridge where he joined the Amateur Dramatic Club , following in the footsteps of both his uncle , actor Gerald du Maurier and his dramatist guardian . Following the UK ' s entry into World War I , Davies and his brother Peter volunteered for service . He received a commission as a second lieutenant in the King ' s Royal Rifle Corps , and served in the trenches in Flanders . He died of a gunshot to the head at the age of 21 . As yet unmarried , the young George Llewelyn Davies left no children . Portrayals . In the 1978 BBC mini - series " The Lost Boys " , he was portrayed at various ages by Barnaby Holm ( son of actor Ian Holm , who portrayed Barrie ) , Paul Holmes , Philip Kassler , Mark Benson , and Christopher Blake .
