At July , 22 , People Army of Komuch together with Czechoslovak Legion ( about 3300 men with 4 cannons in common ) captured Simbirsk and at August , 1st , began to move north in Kazan direction . After crushing the detachment of Reds ( about 2500 men with 10 cannons ) began quick advance . Going along the Volga River , at August , 4 , they reached the mouth of the Kama River . Reds tried to stop Whites again , but lost and retreated to Kazan . During that battle it became obvious that Red troops were ill - prepared and badly organized . At that time Kazan had 146 . 000 inhabitants . For the defence of Kazan Reds concentrated about 10 thousand men from all the region . Best of defending troops were " international " detachments : Latvian Riflemen ( two regiments ) , Karl Marx ' s International Battalion ( made from Austrians and Hungarians prisoners , captured by Russians during First World War ) , Moslem Communist Detachment , Tatar - Bashkir Battalion etc . The Battle . Whites reached Kazan on the evening of August , 5 . River ships went up - stream on the Volga , and detachment of Vladimir Kappel landed on the right bank , therefore blocked the river . At the same time two Czechoslovak Battalions landed 5 km down - stream of Kazan and began to advance , but was stopped by Latvian Riflemen . Latvians were close to win , but instantly Serbian battalion of Reds , defended the Kazan Kremlin , changed sides and attacked Latvians from the flank . Reds retreated to the city through the big rain , Whites stayed on the battlefield . In the morning of August , 6 , Kappel crossed the river and attacked Kazan from the north . Reds moved best troops ( international brigades ) to the north of the city , and Czechoslovakian used this moment to attack ill - prepared Red Guards from another direction . Using this opportunity , underground officer organization began a rebellion inside the city . At the evening the city was encircled by Whites from three sides , and there were fights inside the city . During the night part of red troops began to breakthrough to the east , in Sviyazhsk direction , another part - to the north , to the Arsk , but most of the red troops were captured by Whites . Aftermath . After the capture of Kazan the entire General Staff Academy changed sides and joined the White Movement . Reds ' retreat from Kazan made possible the Izhevsk - Votkinsk Uprising . But one of the most sensational results was the capture of the Gold Reserves of the Russian Empire , moved to Kazan during the First World War for safety . After capturing Kazan Kappel sent a telegram to Stanislav Čeček ( commander of 1st Legionnaire Division ) : After two - days fighting , at August , 7 , Kazan is captured by the joint forces of Samara Detachment of People Army and Czechoslovaks , together with River Fleet .

Battle of Babang The Battle of Babang ( 12 July 1965 ) was the fourth and last in a series of successful ambushes conducted between in May and July 1965 by Australian troops from 3rd Battalion , Royal Australian Regiment ( 3 RAR ) , this time at Babang in Kalimantan ( Indonesian Borneo ) , during the Indonesia - Malaysia Confrontation . The ambushes were conducted under the wider British - Commonwealth Operation Claret , being cross - border operations mounted from bases in Sarawak up to into Indonesian territory with aim of disrupting the movement and resupply of Indonesian forces and to keep them off balance . On 12 July 1965 7 Platoon C Company under Lieutenant Robert Guest — again accompanied by the Company Commander , Major Ivor Hodgkinson , the battalion Intelligence Officer and a fire control party — was occupying an ambush position along a well - used track in the vicinity of the Indonesian base at Babang , on the border . At about midday a force of about 30 Indonesians approached along the track and was subsequently ambushed . The Indonesian platoon counter - attacked and the Australians withdrew under the cover of defensive artillery fire . At least 13 Indonesians were killed and five wounded , while the Australians suffered no losses . Like the other successful Claret missions conducted by 3 RAR earlier at Sungei Koemba and Kindau , the ambush at Babang inflicted significant casualties on Indonesian forces and allowed it to dominate the border area . This provided early warning of Indonesian incursions into Sarawak as well as contributing to the wider success of the British - Commonwealth forces in slowly asserting control on the war . Of note , generally units on their first tour in Borneo were not allowed to undertake such audacious operations , and as such those conducted by 3 RAR in their first and only tour may not have been representative of those by more experienced Gurkha and British battalions .

Allied Forces Act 1940 The Allied Forces Act 1940 ( 3 & 4 Geo . VI c . 51 ) was an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed in late 1940 , after the fall of France . The Act gave legal authority for the recognised sovereign governments of Belgium , Czechoslovakia , the Netherlands , Norway and Poland - all countries then under German occupation - to raise , equip and maintain independent armed forces on British soil . A sixth country , France , was provided for by authorising the activity of the Free French forces under General de Gaulle . The forces would be fully independent , under their own operational command and military law , though in practice it was expected that the British high command would direct general strategy and control joint operations . The Act would later be extended to cover Luxembourg , Greece and Yugoslavia . It allowed these nations to remain active and independent allies in the war , rather than simply providing manpower and moral support to the United Kingdom and the remainder of the British Empire . After the Act was passed , national units were quickly formed or reconstituted ; by late October , the size of the Allied contingents serving with Home Forces were given as 18 , 000 Poles , 15 , 000 Norwegians and 3 , 000 Czechs , as well as around 3 , 000 Belgian , Dutch and French soldiers , as well as a large number of naval and air - force personnel .

This led to Nagaharu being besieged by Hideyoshi ' s troops on the orders of Nobunaga . Nagaharu took a stand in Miki Castle , starting the Siege of Miki . The siege did not go well for Hideyoshi , and with a revolt by Araki Murashige and the help of the Mōri clan Nagaharu successfully repelled the Oda force . But Hideyoshi returned and this time instead of launching a direct assault , he launched multiple sieges against smaller castles like Kamiyoshi Castle and Sigata Castle to cut off the support from Mori . This led to a rapid depletion of food , and in 1580 , with no hope of another reinforcement from Mōri clan , Nagaharu committed seppuku in exchange for the lives of the troops in Miki Castle .

Blue Alliance The Blue Alliance is an American non - profit organization of lesbian , gay , bisexual and transgender ( LGBT ) Alumni of the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs , Colorado . The Blue Alliance is an independent 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) organization that does not represent the US Air Force Academy Association of Graduates nor the U . S . Air Force Academy . History . The group was initially formed in 2007 by 35 LGBT alumni of the Air Force Academy . The organization continued to grow , and in November 2009 established a leadership structure to support the membership of over 200 . The organization now comprises an unofficial " common interest group " among the U . S . Air Force Academy Alumni . The organization incorporated as a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) in the State of California in ¿ ¿ July , 2007 ? . On 5 November 2011 , the organization held the first two organized gay events on the Air Force grounds when they held a pre - game tailgate at the USAFA stadium and held their second annual dinner in Doolittle Hall at the Academy . Mission . The Blue Alliance provides a path for " reconnection " for the many GLBT USAFA alumni who have over time been disassociated from the U . S . Air Force Academy and the USAFA Association of Graduates because of their sexuality or gender identity . By maintaining visibility , the members of the organization become role models for current Cadets , parents and family of midshipmen and for other alumni serving in the fleet . Although most Blue Alliance members would prefer to see an end to the " Don ' t Ask Don ' t Tell " policy , political activism is not the primary mission of the organization . Outreach . One of the more revealing facts from the Blue Alliance study was the that only one in six of those who enter the academy identify as LGBT at the time they enter . The remaining 83 % re - identify as LGBT while at the academy , in the fleet , or as civilians after completion of their service .
