Although she did not raise any issue with the training , the incident was reported by Perron ' s boyfriend and upon leaving the Army photographs were leaked to the media , throwing the Canadian Forces into public disrepute , although Rainville defended himself saying that if he hadn ' t struck Perron , " she would have lost credibility " with other , male , officers .

Rainville relied on the argument that a fuel pump used to service American MedEvac helicopters had been stolen deliberately to hinder the military effort , while critics pointed out that any saboteurs likely would have ignited the thousands of gallons of fuel surrounding it . Rainville enlisted Corpoal Ben Klick of the PPCLI to lay in a truck bed at night , awaiting potential " saboteurs " with a rifle .

Singer ( naval mine ) During the American Civil War , Matthew Fontaine Maury , a Confederate government official established the Torpedo Bureau and the Torpedo Corps in Richmond , Virginia to oversee the development and deployment of new types of naval mines . Maury was convinced that the only way to defend the coastlines against Union assaults was through the widespread use of naval mines . Mines were inexpensive and easily produced on a large scale . The low cost and large volume of mines produced would supplement the small naval forces of the Confederacy and make it possible to defend against the superior fleet of the Union navy . The efforts of the Torpedo Bureau and the Torpedo Corps proved to be worth the investment of the Confederacy . For the relative low cost of the mines they did a tremendous amount of damage to the Union forces , sinking a total of 27 Union naval vessels . The most successful naval mine of the Confederacy is known as the ‘ Singer ’ mine , so - called because it was invented by a member of the family which owned and operated the Singer Corporation . The ‘ Singer ’ was a manually laid moored contact mine ; it was set off when struck by an object with sufficient force to trigger the automatic fuse . The body of the mine was made from sheets of iron and was filled with a charge of 55 - 65 pounds of gunpowder . The automatic fuse consisted of a heavy metal cap that would be released by the force of a ship impacting it . As the cap was released it triggered a spring mechanism that struck a fulminating charge , in the form of a percussion cap , which detonated the main explosive . It was one of the first mines equipped with a safety mechanism to prevent an accidental explosion . While being handled and during the planting of the mine a safety pin prevented the spring from accidentally triggering the fulminating charge . This pin was removed after the mine was in position . The only major drawback of the ‘ Singer ’ was that the spring mechanism was exposed to the water . When deployed in salt water sea growth would eventually develop on the spring mechanism , effectively preventing it from striking the fulminating charge within the mine . This flaw in the design caused Confederate minefields , especially in tropical waters , to become inert after a period of time .

Caus Castle Caus Castle is a hill fort and medieval castle in the civil parish of Westbury in the English county of Shropshire . It is situated up on the eastern foothills of the Long Mountain guarding the route from Shrewsbury , Shropshire to Montgomery , Powys on the border between England and Wales . History . The early outer earthworks of the site are probably an Iron Age hillfort , while the later motte - and - bailey is of Norman construction . Roger le Corbet ( or Fitz Corbet ) was granted several manors in Shropshire in 1069 by William the Conqueror as the Barony of Caus for his role in the Norman conquest and invasion of England . They were named after his Normandy estate in the Pays de Caux , in France . The Corbets owed fealty to Roger de Montgomery , the first Earl of Shrewsbury to help control Welsh Marches with absolute control over their demesne . Caus Castle was built by Roger le Corbet in the late 11th century as a high motte with a very small summit on which stood a tower and a strongly defended inner bailey . The castle was sufficiently important that the Crown took an interest in its maintenance . Henry II of England had it garrisoned in 1165 . In 1198 Roger Corbet re - built the tower , keep and curtain wall in stone . During the late 12th century a town or borough was founded in the large outer Bailey . A royal grant of 50 marks was made in 1263 towards further building work , when D - shape towers were added to the curtain wall . The town contained a church of St Margaret as well as the castle ' s church of St Nicholas , and the names of two thoroughfares , Castle Street and St Margaret Street are recorded . On the death of Beatrice Corbet in 1347 Caus passed to the Earl of Stafford . At its height the borough had 58 burgesses resident in 1349 , a year coinciding with the arrival of the Black Death in England . Caus ( alternatively spelled Caux or Cause ) was garrisoned by the Seneschal Griffith ap Ieuan ap Madoc ap Gwenwys against the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr in the 15th century , but following calls from Welsh graduates in law and students in the University of Oxford he changed sides and supported Glyndŵr . As a result his family lands and role at Caus Castle were forfeited in 1404 , only to be restored by Henry V of England in 1419 after his sons Ieuan ap Griffith and Sir Gruffudd Vychan captured John Oldcastle for Lord Charlton of Powys . On 10 Aug . 1443 , at Caus Castle Sir Gruffudd Vychan pierced with a lance the heart of his master , Sir Christopher Talbot ( 1419 – 1443 ) , son of John Talbot , 1st Earl of Shrewsbury , and the champion tilter of England . He was outlawed , a reward of 500 marks ( £166 6s 8d ) offered for his capture , and his lands were passed to John Sutton , 1st Baron Dudley , as the death of the young knight was not regarded as an accident . The Earl of Stafford rarely used the castle in the 15th and 16th centuries so that it was recorded in great decay in 1521 , had only 2 resident tenants in 1541 , and was finally deserted after it was destroyed , during the English Civil War after falling as a minor Royalist garrison in June 1645 .
Bohemian War ( 1468 – 78 ) The Bohemian War took place in 1468 , when the Kingdom of Bohemia was invaded by the king of Hungary , Matthias Corvinus . Matthias invaded with the pretext of returning Bohemia to Catholicism ; at the time , it was ruled by the Hussite king , George of Poděbrad . Matthias ' invasion was largely successful , leading to his acquisition of the southern and eastern parts of the country . Its core lands however , centered around Prague , were never taken . Ultimately both Matthias and Poděbrad would proclaim themselves king , though neither ever acquired all the necessary subordinate titles . When Poděbrad died in 1471 , his successor Vladislaus II continued the fight against Matthias . In 1478 , the war ended following the treaties of Brno and the Olomouc . Upon Matthias death in 1490 , Vladislaus would succeed him as king of both Hungary and Bohemia . Background . At the beginning of his reign , Matthias continued the policy of his father John Hunyadi in defending Hungary , the " bulwark of Christendom , " against the Turks . However , as Matthias led campaigns each year , he came to the realization that by the late 15th century it was no longer possible to oust the Ottoman Turks from Europe . Rankling under the heavy costs of bordering the Sultan , and resenting his Christian neighbors , like Frederick III , who often meddled in Hungary when Matthias was on campaign , Matthias made the radical decision to come to an entente with the Turks , enabling the Hungarian king to turn westward . The war . In 1468 , Matthias began a war in Bohemia on the pretext of restoring that land to the Papacy . Poděbrad , the Bohemian king who had once protected Matthias , had made himself too tempting a target when he made enemies out of two Popes and became alienated from most of his Catholic neighbors . Matthias seized Moravia and Silesia from Poděbrad and proclaimed himself the Czech king ; yet Matthias was never able to seize Prague from the Hussites . The war would continue with Poděbrad ' s successor Vladislaus , until the latter signed the Treaty of Brno with Matthias in 1478 , recognizing the Hungarian king ' s conquests . The Peace of Olomouc would confirm the Treaty of Brno . With Matthias ' death in 1490 , Vladislaus would succeed Matthias as king of both Hungary and Bohemia .
