Big Mouth Big Mouth ( Lakota : Itȟáŋka ) ( born 1822 – died October 29 , 1869 ) was an Oglala - born chieftain of the Brulé Lakota , highly regarded by the Brulé for his bravery and aggressive military leadership . He was one of the chiefs who signed the second Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1868 and remained a bitter opponent of further American settlement , ridiculing Spotted Tail and other Sioux chieftains upon their return from a mission to Washington , D . C . . He was sixth son of Old Chief Smoke ( 1774 – 1864 ) and twin brother of Blue Horse . One of the principal chiefs at the Whetstone Indian Agency , located along the Missouri River , where most of the Brulé and Oglala bands had gathered , Big Mouth gained increasing support for his stance among members of the tribe . He criticized what he described as Spotted Tail ' s reversal of Sioux policy , saying Spotted Tail had been entertained by American politicians and given a personal tour through the major cities of the east coast . Faced with increasing opposition to his leadership , Spotted Tail visited Big Mouth at his lodge , where , upon approaching the entrance , Big Mouth was seized by two warriors and held down while Spotted Tail shot and killed him .

Shawn Gibson U . S . Army Staff Sergeant ( then Sergeant ) Shawn Gibson ( alt : Timothy , Tom ) of the U . S . 3rd Infantry Division is one of three US soldiers for whom a Spanish court issued an international arrest warrant citing the murder of Telecinco cameraman José Couso in April 2003 . The 38 - year old Gibson was commanding an M1 Abrams tank , when he was ordered to fire on Baghdad ' s Hotel Palestine after he reported seeing somebody with binoculars on the rooftop . His single shell hit a 15th floor balcony , killing Couso and Reuters cameraman Taras Protsyuk . He was later quoted as saying " I didn ’ t fire immediately . I called my chiefs and told them what I ’ d seen . Ten minutes later they called me and told me to fire and I did . " ( Tape B , 1 : 11 : 45 ) Two months later Gibson was interviewed by Sandra Jotz of the Stars and Stripes , though she made no mention of the high - profile case . The photo captions read and Gibson is mentioned in the article of having recently switched from his role as a tank operator , to a Humvee driver through Cooley Camp and Civil Camp - though there is no indication this was as a result of any investigation into the Hotel Palestine shelling . And armored commands throughout Iraq were switching to soft vehicles for routine duties . The article closes with a quote from Gibson " Our motto is " They shoot one bullet at us , we shoot 1000 at them " " In August 2003 the US military announced the results of an enquiry into the incident , which concluded that the firing of the shell was legitimate because there was positive evidence they were under observation from attackers . Six months later Reporters Without Borders announced that while they did not think there was a case against the 3 ground - level soldiers involved , they wanted to see an investigation launched into their superior officers . In 2005 , Gibson appeared in an interview with a Belgian television station , which appears in the documentary film " " In March 2006 , the charges against Gibson were dismissed , but the Supreme Court of Spain overruled that decision in January 2007 and Gibson ' s arrest was reordered .

Petty officer A petty officer is a non - commissioned officer or equivalent in many navies . The modern petty officer dates back to the Age of Sail . Petty officers rank between naval officers ( both commissioned and warrant ) and most enlisted sailor s . These were men with some claim to officer rank , sufficient to distinguish them from ordinary rating s without raising them so high as the sea officers . Several were warrant officers , in the literal sense of being appointed by warrant , and like the warrant sea officers , their superiors , they were usually among the specialists of the ships ' s company . Two of the petty officer ' s rates , midshipman and master ' s mate , were a superior petty officer with a more general authority , but they remained no more than ratings . However , it was quite possible for a warrant officer , such as the armourer , to be court - martial ed for striking a midshipman as his superior officer . The reason why was both were regarded as future sea officers , with the all - important social distinction of the right to walk the quarterdeck . Midshipmen wore distinctive uniforms , master ' s mates dressed respectably , and both behaved like officers . Master ' s mates evolved into the rank of sub - lieutenant , and midshipmen evolved into a naval cadet . Canada . There are two Petty Officer ranks in the Canadian Navy . Petty Officer 2nd Class ( PO2 ) ( " Maître de deuxième classe " or " m2 " in French ) is equivalent to a Sergeant and Petty Officer 1st Class ( PO1 ) ( " Maître de première classe " or " m1 " ) is equivalent to a Warrant Officer . Petty Officers are normally addressed as " Petty Officer Bloggins " or " PO Bloggins " , thereafter as " PO " . The " 1st Class " and " 2nd Class " designations are normally only used when such a distinction needs to be made , such as on a promotion parade or to distinguish two Petty Officers with similar names but different ranks . United Kingdom . In the Royal Navy , the rate of Petty Officer comes above that of Leading Rating and below that of Chief Petty Officer . It is the equivalent of Sergeant in the Royal Marines , British Army and Royal Air Force . Petty Officer is the lowest of the Senior Rating grades . Petty Officers , like all senior rates , wear fore and aft rig . United States . The title of Petty Officer in the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard has three separate " classes " ( 3rd class through 1st class ) and three senior grades ( Chief Petty Officer , Senior Chief Petty Officer , Master Chief Petty Officer ) . Petty Officer Third Class is equivalent to Corporal in the United States Army ( or Specialist , but only in terms of pay grade ) , Corporal in the United States Marine Corps , and Senior Airman in the United States Air Force ( but only in terms of pay grade ) . Petty Officer Second Class is equivalent to Sergeant in the United States Army and Marine Corps , and Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force . Petty Officer First Class is equivalent to Staff Sergeant in the United States Army and Marine Corps , and Technical Sergeant in the United States Air Force .
. nato . nato was a top - level domain in the Domain Name System of the Internet . The domain was added in the late 1980s by InterNIC for the use of NATO , based on the representation that none of the then existing top - level domains ( TLDs ) adequately reflected their status as an international organization . Soon after this addition , however , the int TLD was created for the use of international organizations , and NATO was persuaded to use nato . int instead . Without use , the . nato TLD , was deleted in July 1996 .
Ginnie Wade Mary Virginia " Ginnie " ( or " Jennie " ) Wade ( May 21 , 1843 – July 3 , 1863 ) , a seamstress , was the only Gettysburg civilian killed directly during the Battle of Gettysburg . The house where she was killed became a popular tourist attraction and museum called the " Jennie Wade House . " Early life . Wade was born in Gettysburg , Pennsylvania . She worked as a seamstress with her mother in their house on Breckenridge Street while her father was in a mental asylum . She may have been engaged to Johnston Hastings " Jack " Skelly , a corporal in the 87th Pennsylvania , who had been wounded two weeks earlier in the Battle of Winchester . He died from his injuries on July 12 , 1863 , unaware that Wade had died days earlier . Casualty of war . Wade , her mother , and two younger brothers left their home in central Gettysburg and traveled to the house of her sister , Georgia Anna Wade McClellan at 528 Baltimore Street to assist her and her newborn child . It was July 1 , 1863 , during the first day ' s fighting of the Battle of Gettysburg . More than 150 bullets hit the McClellan house during the fighting . About 8 : 30 a . m . on July 3 , Wade was kneading dough for bread when a Minié ball traveled through the kitchen door of her sister ' s house and hit her . It pierced her left shoulder blade , went through her heart , and ended up in her corset . She was killed instantly . While it is uncertain which side fired the fatal shot , some authors have attributed it to an unknown Confederate sharpshooter . Shortly afterward , three Union soldiers discovered the body and told the rest of the family . They temporarily buried Wade ' s body in the back yard of the McClellan house , in a coffin originally intended for a Confederate officer . In January 1864 , her body was relocated to the cemetery of the German Reformed Church on Stratton Street . On July 4 , her mother baked 15 loaves of bread with the dough Wade had kneaded . Monument . In November 1865 , Ginnie Wade ' s remains were reburied in the Evergreen Cemetery near Jack Skelly . A monument to her , designed by Gettysburg resident Anna M . Miller , was erected in 1900 that includes an American flag that flies around the clock . ( The Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia is the only other site devoted to a woman to share this distinction of the perpetual flag . The Evergreen Cemetery grave of John L . Burns also flies the perpetual flag . )
BL 5 . 4 - inch howitzer The Ordnance BL 5 . 4 - inch howitzer was a version of the British 5 - inch howitzer designed for British Indian Army use , especially on the Northwest Frontier . History . The unusual calibre of 5 . 4 inches may have been determined by a requirement to fire a 60 lb shell . Since the 5 - inch howitzer with its 50 lb shell was later found deficient in both firepower and range , it is possible the Indian Army may have foreseen this , and in fact the 5 . 4 - inch could fire its 60 lb shell the same distance as the 5 - inch fired its 50 lb shell i . e . 4800 yards . Also , Hogg & Thurston surmise that raw weight of shell was seen as necessary in India to " put a reasonable amount of fear into the hearts of obstreperous tribesmen inhabiting home - built but robust local fortresses " : different conditions than regular British Army artillery was expected to be employed in . Combat service . World War I . Four guns were sent from India and served in the East Africa campaign . They were manned by the 134th ( Cornwall ) Howitzer Battery ( TF ) from England . The battery was formed at Maktan on 4 February 1916 and drawn by oxen . The Territorial Force gunners would already have been familiar with the 5 - inch howitzer , which was closely related . The battery is reported as firing 102 rounds in the bombardment of German positions on the Mgeta river ( approximately SW of Dar es Salam ) on 1 January 1917 , part of the Rufiji River campaign . This allowed Cunliffe ' s Nigerian Brigade to cross the Mgeta river and pursue the German force south . One of the guns was destroyed by a premature explosion in this action , with 1 gunner killed and 2 wounded . The 134th battery landed at Lindi in the far south of German East Africa near the border with Portuguese East Africa ( Mozambique ) in October 1917 and moved west inland . Two of their 5 . 4 - inch howitzers were sent to Morogoro to be used for training , and they took over two 5 - inch howitzers from 11th ( Hull ) Battery , who were short of men through sickness . The 134th were then heavily engaged using one 5 . 4 - inch and two 5 - inch howitzers at the major Battle of Nyangao on 16 – 18 October 1917 . The guns knocked out the last of the ten 4 . 1 - inch guns from the Konigsberg which the German forces had used as field guns , and provided fire support for the Indian and Nigerian troops .
No . 668 Squadron RAF No . 668 Squadron RAF was a glider squadron of the Royal Air Force active during the Second World War . History . No . 668 Squadron RAF was formed on 16 November 1944 at Calcutta , ( then ) British India as a glider squadron , with the intention of being used for airborne operations by South East Asia Command . It continued to train , as part of No . 343 Wing RAF , until the surrender of Japan , when it became surplus to requirements . The squadron was disbanded on 10 November 1945 at Fatehjang . Present . The squadron today is represented by 668 Squadron of 2 ( Training ) Regiment , Army Air Corps .
7th Infantry Division ( Syria ) The 7th Infantry Division was a key component of the Syrian attack force in the 1973 Yom Kippur War , involved in some of the heaviest fighting in the Golan Heights , especially in the aptly named ' Valley of Tears ' . The division , with its attached armoured brigade , lost a great number of tanks when trying on many accounts to rush the Israeli defenses . Although Syrian division ' s had a nominal strength of around 10 , 000 men , 200 tanks , 72 artillery pieces and similar numbers of SAMs and anti - aircraft guns , the 7th Infantry Division had only 80 % of its tanks and APCs during the war . Furthermore , although designated as an infantry division , the division was essentially mechanised . In 1973 , the division ' s equipment , organisation , tactics , and training were virtually identical to those of the 5th Infantry Division during its action in Jordan . Because of the extensive losses suffered by the division during the battle of the Valley of Tears , one of the division ' s brigades had to be pulled out of action for 3 days before being reorganized as a battalion .
HMS E24 HMS " E24 " was an E - class submarine of the Royal Navy built by Vickers , Barrow - in - Furness . She was launched on 9 December 1915 and was commissioned on 9 January 1916 . " E24 " was mined off Heligoland Bight on 24 March 1916 . A salvage operation was attempted in 1973 as she was believed to be a German U - boat . Loss . " E24 " belonged to the Harwich - based 9th Flotilla at the time of her loss . She was the second E - class boat to be converted into a minelayer . " E24 " left Harwich on the morning of 21 March 1916 to lay mines in the Heligoland Bight . A positional report was issued late that night . Her commander , Lieutenant - Commander Naper , was ordered to enter the Bight in darkness on the surface via the Amrum Bank . Once in position he was to lay mines in a zigzag formation . As mines were known to have been laid by the Germans off Ameland , Naper was ordered to return by the same route . She did not return from the mission , and was logged as missing on 24 March 1916 . Salvage . Divers hunting for a Second World War - era U - boat in 1973 raised sections of a mined submarine wreck , including the conning tower . The boat was towed to Cuxhaven where the wreck was identified as a British E - class boat , rather than a German submarine . The German government then informed the Admiralty . Human remains found in the wreck are buried in Ohlsdorf Cemetery , Hamburg . " E24 " s commander is buried in a separate grave to others . Lieutenant - Commander Naper was identified because of the 2 + half rings on sleeve , and the fact that his skeleton was 6 ft tall . All the skulls of those in the boat were found in a pyramidal formation . The sunken wreck lay at a downward angle , causing the heads to become detached from the bodies and to roll down the slope into that position . Three bodies were found laying under the battery boards directly on top of the batteries , with arms folded . They may have died of the effects of chlorine gas before the rest of the crew . Artefacts from " E24 " and her crew , such as smoking pipe s belonging to Naper , a bottle of blackberries , the sextant , a firing pistol and boots are on display at Cuxhaven , as are the submarine ' s conning tower and propellers .

Women in warfare and the military in the early modern era Active warfare throughout history has mainly been a matter for men , but women have also played a role , often a leading one . While women rulers conducting warfare was common , women who participated in active warfare was rare . The following list of prominent women in war and their exploits from about 1500 AD up to about 1750 AD suggests the wider involvement of numerous unnamed women , some of them thrust into positions of leadership by accident of birth or family connection , others from humble origin by force of personality and circumstance . Only women active in direct warfare , such as warriors , spies , and women who actively led armies are included in this list .
Vaziani Military Base The Vaziani Military Base is located about twenty kilometers outside Tbilisi at Latitude 41 . 6947 Longitude 45 . 0467 , Georgia . The main base is spread over 10 , 000 hectares . The Vaziani airfield — location : — has strategic importance as its concrete landing - strip is suitable for middle ( Il - 76M ) and heavy ( An - 124 " Ruslan " ) transport aircraft . Under the Soviet Union , it was the home base of the 137th Guards District Training Centre , originating from the Soviet 1st Guards Mechanized Corps . The airfield was home to the 283rd Aviation Division of the 34th Air Army . The Russians retained control of a number of military bases even after Georgian independence . Vaziani was one of them , the others being Gudauta , Akhalkalaki and Batumi . It was from Vaziani that Igor Giorgadze was taken on a military flight to Moscow after the 1995 assassination attempt on President Eduard Shevardnadze . At the OSCE Summit in Istanbul in 1999 , the Russian Federation and Georgia released a joint statement that Russian military bases at Gudauta and Vaziani would be disbanded and withdrawn by 1 July 2001 . Russia finally ceded control on June 29 , 2001 . A battalion of Georgia ' s 1st Infantry Brigade , Georgian Land Forces , then took possession . In July 2008 , it was the site of Immediate Response 2008 , which were U . S . training operations for Georgian forces . It was bombed during the 2008 South Ossetia War .
