FFV 028 mine The FFV 028 is a series of steel cased Swedish anti - tank mine s that use electronic fuze s . The mines are circular , with a large Misznay Schardin effect warhead in the center of the mine , with the fuzing and sensor electronics located in the dead space above the main charge . The design of the mine dates from the 1970s and uses a magnetic influence sensor to detonate the mine , making it able to attack the full width of armoured vehicles . The mine can be laid either by hand or by a mechanical mine laying system . Once the mine is emplaced , a pre - set arming delay of up to 60 minutes is initiated , after which the magnetic sensor activates and will trigger the mine if a target passes overhead . When the mine is triggered , a small clearing charge blows away any material that may have been on top of the mine , followed a fraction of a second later by detonation of the main explosive charge detonate s . The main charge creates an explosively formed penetrator which is capable of penetrating the belly armour of any tank currently in existence , and generates substantial secondary blast and fragmentation effects . The mine is blast resistant and has been upgraded to be resistant to advanced demining mine countermeasures . The mine was ordered by the Swedish armed forces in 1982 , where it is known as Stridsvagnsmina 6 . Subsequently , an order from Germany was placed for 125 , 000 mines in 1985 . The Netherlands placed an order for in excess of 10 , 000 mines and associated mine laying equipment in 1985 , with a second order for additional mines in 1989 .

Albemarle Barracks Albemarle Barracks was a prisoner - of - war camp for British prisoners during the American Revolutionary War . Following Gen . John Burgoyne ' s defeat at the Battle of Saratoga , in 1777 , several thousand British and German ( Hessian and Brunswickian ) troops , of what came to be known as the Convention Army , were marched to Cambridge , Massachusetts . For various reasons , the Continental Congress desired to move them south . One of Congress ' members offered his land outside of Charlottesville , Virginia . The remaining soldiers ( some 2 , 000 British , upwards of 1 , 900 German , and roughly 300 women and children ) marched south in late 1778 - arriving at the site ( near Ivy Creek ) in January , 1779 . As the barracks were barely sufficient in construction , the officers were paroled to live as far away as Richmond , Virginia and Staunton , Virginia . The camp was never adequately provisioned , and yet the prisoners did manage to make something of the site , including building a theater . Hundreds escaped Albemarle Barracks , owing to lack of an adequate number of guards . As the British army moved northward from the Carolinas , in late 1780 , the remaining prisoners were moved to Frederick , Maryland , Winchester , Virginia , and perhaps elsewhere . The former site of Albemarle Barracks is on private property , northwest of downtown Charlottesville at the foot of Barracks Farm Rd . and marked by a Virginia State historical marker . In 1983 , the Albemarle County Historical Society erected a plaque for the Albemarle Barracks burial site . Located on what is now Ivy Farm Drive , the spot marks the location of several graves found when the land was developed for residential use . To see the marker , drive west of Charlottesville on Barracks Road to Barracks Farm Road . The marker is located on the north side of Ivy Farm Drive , in a private yard , a couple hundred yards from where this road separates from Barracks Farm Road . " Note : Though the marker was almost totally obscured by the twin boxwoods growing on either side , in 2006 , as of November 2010 , it could easily be seen from the road . "

As an eighteen - year - old , Foley began drawing sketches of events on the battlefield in a sketchbook he carried with him .
