Private Turrall remained with the wounded officer for three hours under continuous and heavy fire from machine - guns and bombs . Notwithstanding that both he and the officer were at one time completely cut off from the British troops , he held his ground with determination and finally carried the officer to the British lines after a counter - attack had made this possible . His Victoria Cross is displayed at The Worcestershire Regiment collections in the Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum , Worcester , England .
Battle of Friedberg The Battle of Friedberg was fought on 24 August 1796 between a First French Republic army led by Jean Victor Marie Moreau and a Habsburg Austrian army led by Maximilian Anton Karl , Count Baillet de Latour . The French army , which was advancing eastward on the south side of the Danube , managed to catch an isolated Austrian infantry regiment . In the ensuing combat , the Austrians were cut to pieces . Friedberg is a Bavarian town located on the Lech River near Augsburg . Two French armies crossed the Rhine and thrust east into Germany during the summer of 1796 . Jean - Baptiste Jourdan ' s Army of Sambre - et - Meuse advanced on a more northerly route while Moreau ' s Army of Rhin - et - Moselle took a more southerly path . Opposing them were Wilhelm von Wartensleben ' s Army of the Lower Rhine and Latour ' s Army of the Upper Rhine , both under the overall direction of Archduke Charles , Duke of Teschen . Moreau defeated Charles at the battles of Ettlingen on 9 July and Neresheim on 11 August . As the outnumbered Austrians retreated , Charles looked for a chance to throw a superior force against one of the French armies . That opportunity came in late August when a cavalry brigadier Friedrich Joseph , Count of Nauendorf reported an opening . Leaving Latour ' s army severely weakened , the archduke rapidly marched north with 27 , 000 troops to join with Wartensleben in defeating Jourdan at the Battle of Amberg on 24 August . Unaware of Charles ' maneuver , Moreau forged ahead and smashed the isolated " Schröder " Infantry Regiment Nr . 7 at Friedberg . Unfortunately for Moreau , Jourdan ' s drubbing at Amberg and a second defeat at Würzburg ruined the French offensive . By the beginning of September , the increasingly isolated Moreau was compelled to retrace his steps toward France .
Blister agent A blister agent , or vesicant , is a chemical compound that causes severe skin , eye and mucosal pain and irritation . They are named for their ability to cause severe chemical burn s , resulting in painful water blister s on the bodies of those affected . Although the term is often used in connection with large - scale burns caused by chemical spills or chemical warfare agent s , some naturally occurring substances such as cantharidin are also blister - producing agents ( vesicants ) . Some naturally occurring substances , such as furanocoumarin , cause vesicant - like effects indirectly , for example , by increasing skin photosensitivity greatly . Vesicants have medical uses including wart removal but can be fatal if even small amounts are ingested . Blister agents used in warfare . Most blister agents fall into one of three groups : Occasionally , phosgene oxime is included among the blister agents , although it is more properly termed a nettle agent . Effects of blister agents . Exposure to a weaponized blister agent can cause a number of life - threatening symptoms , including : All blister agents currently known are heavier than air , and are readily absorbed through the eyes , lungs , and skin . Effects of the two mustard agents are typically delayed : exposure to vapors becomes evident in 4 to 6 hours , and skin exposure in 2 to 48 hours . The effects of Lewisite are immediate .
Coenus ( general ) Coenus ( in Greek Koῖνος ; died 326 BC ) , a son of Polemocrates and son - in - law of Parmenion , was one of the ablest and most faithful generals of Alexander the Great in his eastern expedition . In the autumn of 334 BC , when Alexander was in Caria , and sent those of his soldiers who had been recently married , to Macedonia , to spend the ensuing winter with their wives there , Coenus was one of the commanders who led them back to Europe . In the spring of the year following ( 333 BC ) , Coenus returned with the Macedonians , and joined Alexander at Gordium . He commanded a portion of Alexander ' s army , and distinguished himself on various occasions . In all of Alexander ' s major battles , Coenus commanded the right - most battalion of infantry in the massive Macedonian phalanx . In the Macedonian battle tradition , the farther right you were in formation , the more honorable of a position you held . His distinction as commander of the " best " infantry of the phalanx indicates he was tactically reliable , probably extremely intelligent in warfare , and brave in battle ; he was probably the epitome of the highly respected " lead - by - example " Macedonian general . When Alexander had arrived at the river Hyphasis , and was anxious to push his conquests still further , Coenus was the first who had the boldness to urge the necessity of returning , and the king was obliged to follow his advice . But a short time afterwards , when the Macedonian army had actually commenced its return , Coenus died of an illness ( 326 BC ) , and was honoured by the king with a splendid burial . Alexander lamented his death , but is reported to have said , that Coenus had urged the necessity of returning so strongly , as if he alone had been destined to see his native country again .

Battle of Antivari The Battle of Antivari was a naval engagement between the French , British and Austro - Hungarian navies at the start of World War I . The Austrian light cruiser and the destroyer were bombarding the town of Antivari , today known as Bar , when on 16 August 1914 they were cut off by a large Franco - British force that had sortied into the Adriatic in an attempt to bring the Austro - Hungarians into a fleet action . The two Austrian vessels at Antivari became cut off and were forced to fight an engagement in order to attempt to free themselves . Although " Zenta " was destroyed , " Ulan " escaped and the Austrian fleet did not come out of port to meet the Allied fleet . After blockading the Adriatic for a while the French were forced to withdraw due to lack of supplies . Background . When war broke out between the Austro - Hungarian Empire and Montenegro , the Austro - Hungarians began a blockade of the Montenegrin coast as well as several bombardments of the various towns and cities there . The French Navy had decided to try to force the Austro - Hungarian Navy into a decisive fleet action by making a sortie into the Adriatic and bait the Austrians into engaging them . The Allied force consisted of three dreadnought battleship s , 10 pre - dreadnought battleship s , four armoured cruiser s , one protected cruiser and more than 20 destroyers . Battle . The Allied Fleet managed to cut off " Zenta " and " Ulan " from escaping back to the main Austro - Hungarian fleet . Hopelessly outnumbered , the commander of " Zenta " decided to attempt to fight his way out and cover " Ulan " ′ s escape . " Zenta " also had serious disadvantage : the reach of her 120 mm cannons was too short , so they were not able to reach the enemy ships . The French battleships significantly outranged " Zenta " and so were able to score large numbers of hits without taking any damage themselves . Eventually , " Zenta " was sunk with 173 men killed and over 50 wounded , but allowing enough time for " Ulan " to make good her escape . Aftermath . Despite " Zenta " being cut off , the main body of the Austro - Hungarian fleet did not sortie out to do battle as the French had hoped . The French fleet did not have the logistical support to remain in the Adriatic for very long and so were forced to return to Malta periodically to resupply .
Third Army ( United Kingdom ) The Third Army was a part of the British Army during World War I . First World War . The Third Army was part of the British Army during World War I and was formed in France on 13 July 1915 . During August 1915 the Third Army took over trench line south of the French Tenth Army , which had to keep in position for the upcoming autumn offensive . This made the Third Army geographically separate from the other British Armies for the time being . This remained the case until early 1916 , when Tenth Army was redeployed because of French losses at Verdun and the British Fourth Army was formed . The battles it took part in on the Western Front included :
Estoc The French estoc or English " tuck " was a type of European sword in use from the 14th to 17th centuries . Characterized as having a cruciform hilt with a grip for two handed use and a straight , edgeless but sharply pointed blade of around to long . Description . The estoc was a variation of the longsword designed for fighting against mail or plate armour . It was long , straight and stiff with no cutting edge , just a point . Examples from Poland are more than long , with a blade of ; however , others showed a more manageable , with a blade . Such swords averaged about 4 pounds ( 2 kg ) with no specimen weighing more than 6 pounds . The size seems to have been made - to - order . Blade cross - sections can be triangular , square , rhomboid or flat hexagonal . This geometry left hardly any cutting capability as a sharpened edge could simply not be ground , but allowed the weapon to become lengthy , stiff , and very acutely pointed . Early on , the estoc was hung from the saddle when on horseback and simply hung from the belt when the soldier took to the ground . As the weapon developed , however , infantry men using it began to wear it in a scabbard . Most varieties of estoc provided a long grip like that of a greatsword , though others mimicked the " zweihänder " in providing a long ricasso with a secondary guard of " parrierhaken " . As on the two - hander , this extended grip gave the wielder the advantage of extra leverage with which to more accurately and powerfully thrust the long weapon . Some other forms provided finger rings , curved quillons , or other forms of a compound hilt . Few , however , developed anything close to a full basket hilt . History . As armour improved , so did the methods of attacking the armour . It was quickly realized that cutting weapon s were losing their effectiveness , so crushing weapons such as mace s and axes were utilized . But thrusting weapons that could split the rings of mail , or find the joints and crevices of plate armour , were also employed . Long tapered swords could also be used as a lance once the lance was splintered . Thus was the estoc developed . The French word estoc translates to thrust . Tuck is the abbreviated English version of the word . Many consider the estoc a forerunner of the rapier , but more likely it is a merging of the espada ropera , a civilian sword , with the effective , and lighter estoc , that produced the rapier . But the estoc was an effective weapon . The long , straight blade was very rigid and could be thrust with one hand , or the second hand could be used to deliver an even more powerful thrust . While there is nothing to stop an estoc being one - handed , most were two - handed , being used half - sword or two hands on the grip .
