Dwight Wilson ( veteran ) Percy " Dwight " Wilson ( February 26 , 1901 – May 9 , 2007 ) was the second - to - last surviving Canadian veteran of the First World War . Born in Vienna , Elgin County , Ontario , he signed up as a 15 - year old boy in 1916 . When asked about his actual age he told the recruiting officer 16 , but faced with soaring casualty rates for each meager yard of territory won and lost , that was good enough for the Canadian Army . On the two week voyage crossing the North Atlantic to England , he entertained the other troops on the R . M . S . " Grampian " liner with his wonderful singing voice . On arrival , Wilson ' s youth was quickly discovered , and he never went near the battlefield , before being returned to Canada in 1917 . Still determined he enlisted again , winding up once more at Camp Petawawa for military training . The war ended before he got another chance overseas . He and Eleanor were married in 1927 and they stayed together until she died at the age of 94 . They had two sons : Dean and Paul . Shortly after the Second World War began , he enlisted for a third time . Instead of being too " young " , he was now too " old " , and he spent the war as a captain in the Perth County Reserves . Wilson lived at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in the Veterans Residence in Toronto for the last year of his life . He died at the age of 106 from complications of a broken hip that had occurred two weeks earlier . His death left John Babcock , who lived in Spokane , Washington , United States , as the only surviving Canadian First World War veteran .
Freudenstein Castle Freudenstein Castle ( ) is located on the " Schloßplatz " ( " Castle Square " ) on the edge of the town centre of Freiberg in the German state of Saxony . Its history is closely linked to the House of Wettin . After several connversions the castle is now a stately home with four wings comprising these buildings : the Langes Haus , Neues Haus , Kirchenflügel , Großer Turm und Schmales Haus ( " Long House " , " New House " , " Church Wing " , " Great Tower " and " Narrow House " ) . History . After the discovery of silver in Christiansdorf , Margrave Otto II of Meissen had a castle built in 1168 to protect the silver mines . On 31 July 1312 the castle is first mentioned in a record as a " Hus " ( " house " ) . In later docoments it is described as an " arx " , " Castrum " , " flos " and " Burg " . The Freiburg castle is first referred to as " Freudenstein " in 1525 . After 1505 Duke Henry the Pious mainly resided in Freiberg . During his reign , his sons , later the electors of Saxony , Moritz and Augustus , were born at the castle . The construction of the new castle was begun in 1566 by master builder , Hans Irmisch , under the supervision of Rochus zu Lynar . Its completion in the Renaissance architectural style was finished in 1577 . In Thirty Years ' War , it formed part of the defensive system of the town of Freiberg , and was occasionally used as a military base . In 1762 , in consequence of the Seven Years ' War , the interior of the castle was completely wrecked . When ownership of the property was taken over by the military treasury in 1784 , the second major conversion of the Renaissance palace into an magazine was carried out . This involved a major change to the building structure . The Renaissance windows were replaced by small armoury windows . Inside , low armoury floors were built in a simple design . From 1800 , it was partly rebuilt into a miners ' granary ( " Bergmagazin " ) . During the Napoleonic occupation in 1813 , the castle was used as a hospital for 1 , 500 wounded . With the transfer of legal ownership to the town of Freiberg in 1957 , it served until 1979 as a granary . In 1973 , a youth club opened in the basement . From 1980 to 1990 , a heritage organization was based at the castle . In a return to its structural appearance in 1577 , the facade of the New House was rebuilt in the Renaissance style under its direction . In 2004 , ownership of the castle was given back to the town of Freiberg . Between 2005 and 2008 it was converted as the result of a Europe - wide competition under the direction of AFF Architects Berlin / Chemnitz . This saw the gutting of the Church Wing , in order to house the mining archives . The " terra mineralia " exhibition was housed in the adjacent Long House .

Censorinus ( usurper ) Appius Claudius Censorinus was a usurper against Roman Emperor Claudius II , according to the " Historia Augusta " . He is included in the list of the Thirty Tyrants . He reportedly had a lengthy career , having served twice as a consul , twice as a praetorian prefect , thrice as a praefectus urbi , and four times as a proconsul . He served under Valerian in the Roman – Persian Wars and was wounded in conbat . His wounds forced him to retire from military service . He was already an old man and long retired when the troops of Bologna revolted and proclaimed him an Augustus . He was killed by his own soldiers , because he enforced too strict discipline . His reign lasted only a few days . Francisco Mediobarbo Birago , a 17th - century numismatist , reported the existence of a coim commemorating the 3rd year of Censorinus ' reign . The lack of sources for such a coin , make it likely that it was a forgery of some kind . Louis - Sébastien Le Nain de Tillemont suggested that Censorinus and Victorinus could be the same person . The revolt of Censorinus is questionable . He should have revolted in 269 – 270 . The source is the " Historia Augusta " , according to which Censorinus had been consul twice , even if there is no record of such offices ; he proclaimed himself emperor , but soon His tomb should have been in Bologna .

Macana The term macana , of Taíno origin , refers to various wooden weapons used by the various native cultures of Central and South America . The earliest meaning attributed to " macana " is a sword - like weapon made out of wood , but still sharp enough to be dangerous . The term is also sometimes applied to the similar Aztec weapon , which is studded with pieces of obsidian in order to create a blade , though some authorities distinguish this item by using the Nahuatl name " macuahuitl " . The Inca army also made use of a ' macana spear ' . It consisted of a wooden shaft with a heavy metal or stone object at the end . This object was often in a star shape , to maximise the potential to break bone . They were the most common weapon in the Inca arsenal , and it is possible that gold or silver was used for the star for high - ranking officers . In modern Spanish the word has broadened to refer to various types of blunt wooden weapons , especially a police nightstick . Notes . < div class = " references - small " >

75 mm Gun M1917 The 75 mm Gun Model of 1917 ( British ) was an interim measure , based on the British QF 18 pounder , produced by the United States in World War I after it had decided to switch from to 75 mm calibre for its field guns . History . The US decided early in World War I to switch from to 75 mm calibre for its field guns . Its preferred gun for re - equipment was the French 75 mm Model of 1897 , but early attempts to produce it in the US using US commercial mass - production techniques failed , partly due to delays in obtaining necessary French plans , and then their being incomplete or inaccurate , and partly because US industry was not equipped to work to Metric measurements . By 1917 US firms had produced 851 QF 18 pounders for export to Britain . Hence production of a 75 mm version offered a simple interim solution , being basically a copy of the British QF 18 pounder rechambered for French 75 mm ammunition , utilizing existing production capacity . It remains very similar to the 18 pounder , the main visible difference being a shorter barrel with straight muzzle . The gun was developed too late to see action in World War I . Finnish service . Finland purchased 200 old guns from the United States for its Winter War against the USSR in 1940 . They arrived too late to be used in that war but were designated " 75 K / 17 " and after necessary overhaul were used in the Continuation War from 1941 , and many continued in use for training until the 1990s . British service . Early in World War II Britain lost many of its field guns in France , and the US transferred its large remaining stocks of the Model of 1917 to Britain where its similarity to the 18 pounder made it useful for British home defence and training needs . Greek service . The gun entered in Greek service during the Greco - Italian war of 1940 - 1941 . Greece requested aid from Britain and USA , which in part came in the form of the British 75mm field gun . A total of 50 by Britain in January and 24 by the US in March 1941 were offered . Of those , 24 were sent from Britain , but only 18 arrived in January 1941 to Greece . The rest of the offered guns were either sunk or never loaded on ships due to the fall of Greece in April 1941 . The 18 that arrived to Greece were in need of maintenance before being pressed into service . Ultimately 4 guns saw service with the 19th Field Artillery Battalion , and 12 guns with the B3 Field Artillery Battalion . < br style = " clear : left ; " >
