Viva la Quinta Brigada " Viva la Quinta Brigada " ( listed as " Viva la Quince Brigada " in later recordings ) is a Christy Moore song about the Irishmen who fought in the Spanish Civil War against Franco . The title was inspired by a Spanish song about the war , ' Viva la Quince Brigada ' . Moore wrote this song choosing to focus on the Irish socialist volunteers ( who in later years became known as the Connolly Column ) who were a small contingent within the 15th International Brigade . The song was inspired by Spanish Civil War veteran Michael O ' Riordan ' s book Connolly Column . Moore said : “ Without Michael O ’ Riordan I ’ d never have been able to write Viva la Quince Brigada . I must have performed the song over a thousand times and every single time I sing it I think of Mick and wonder how can I ever thank him enough . In Spain in 1983 I was reading his book , Connolly Column – the story of the Irishmen who fought for the Spanish Republic , and I began this song as I read on . The song was lifted entirely from his book . ” Moore ' s original song title - which translates as " Long live the Fifth Brigade " - was a slip due to the similarity in Spanish between " quinta " ( fifth ) and " quince " ( fifteen ) . The bulk of Irish volunteers served with the XV ( Fifteen ) International Brigade ; the " Fifth Brigade " was not one of the International Brigades . The song later appeared listed as Viva la Quince Brigada as Moore corrected the mistake in subsequent recordings . Both titles are correct however , originally there were ten brigades in the Spanish army , the five international brigades were then added to the list making the 5th International Brigade the 15th Brigade of the Spanish republic .

Battle of Ramla ( 1102 ) The second Battle of Ramla ( or Ramleh ) took place on 17 May 1102 between the Crusade r Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Fatimids of Egypt . Background . The town of Ramla lay on the road from Jerusalem to Ascalon , the latter of which was the largest Fatimid fortress in Palestine . From Ascalon the Fatimid vizier , Al - Afdal Shahanshah , launched almost annual attacks into the newly founded Crusader kingdom from 1099 to 1107 . It was thrice the case that the two armies met each other at Ramla . Egyptian armies of the period relied on masses of Sudanese bowmen supported by Arab and Berber cavalry . Since the archers were on foot and the horsemen awaited attack with lance and sword , an Egyptian army provided exactly the sort of immobile target that the Frankish heavy cavalry excelled in attacking . Whereas the Crusaders developed a healthy respect for the harass and surround tactics of the Turkish horse archer s , they tended to discount the effectiveness of the Egyptian armies . While overconfidence led to a Crusader disaster at the second battle of Ramla , the more frequent result was a Fatimid defeat . " The Franks never , until the reign of Saladin , feared the Egyptian as they did the armies from Muslim Syria and Mesopotamia . " Battle . Due to faulty reconnaissance , the Crusade leader , Baldwin I of Jerusalem , underestimated the size of the Egyptian force and rode to battle with only five hundred mounted knights to meet an army of several thousand . Realising his error too late and already cutoff from escape , many of the knights charged into the heart of the Egyptian lines and were slaughtered , but Baldwin and some survivors newly arrived from Europe were able to barricade themselves in Ramla ' s single tower . Baldwin escaped under the cover of night , traveling to Arsuf , where he convinced an English ship captain to break through the Egyptian blockade of Jaffa which was being besieged also by land . With the arrival of a fleet of French and German Crusaders , Baldwin was able to assemble an army of eight thousand men . In the subsequent Battle of Jaffa , he led a cavalry charge that once again broke the Egyptian lines and forced the Fatimid forces to flee to Ascalon . Despite the loss of numerous knights , and the capture of Conrad , Constable of Jerusalem , and death of Stephen of Blois in the final charge from the doomed tower of Ramla , Baldwin was able to profit off the plunder left behind by the fleeing Egyptians . Odo Arpin of Bourges was taken prisoner at the battle .

George Evans ( VC ) George Evans VC ( 16 February 1876 – 28 September 1937 ) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross , the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces .

He had to cover about 700 yards , the whole of which was under observation from the enemy . He succeeded in delivering the message in spite of being wounded and rejoined his company although advised to go to the dressing station .

He died 28 September 1937 and was buried in Beckenham Crematorium and Cemetery . His VC is held at the Imperial War Museum in London .
Force Z Force Z was a British naval squadron during the Second World War , consisting of the battleship , the battlecruiser , and accompanying destroyers . Assembled in 1941 , the purpose of the group was to reinforce British Commonwealth assets in the Far East and deter Japanese expansion into British possessions , particularly Malaya and Singapore . The severe shortage of aircraft to protect Force Z , underestimation of the ability of the Japanese armed forces , and the political rather than naval impetus for its deployment are blamed for the destruction of the force . Composition . Force Z consisted of the battleship , the battlecruiser , and four modern Home Fleet destroyers , the E - class , , , and the J - class . For Force Z ’ s final voyage , the older S - class and Great War veteran V - class were substituted for the damaged " Encounter " and " Jupiter " , who remained in Singapore undergoing repairs . Initially a new aircraft carrier , , was to be included , but was unable to join after running aground in the Caribbean during working up trials . was considered as a replacement , but this idea was dismissed as " Hermes " was too slow . Origins . As early as 1920 , British Imperial defence strategy had envisaged sending a fleet to Singapore should Far Eastern possessions or interests be threatened . A renamed Force G , Force Z arrived at Singapore on 2 December 1941 . It was sent to intercept Japanese landings in Malaya . " Prince of Wales " and " Repulse " were sunk by Japanese air attack on 10 December 1941 , becoming the first capital ship s under sail to be sunk solely by the action of enemy aircraft in a hostile encounter . The lack of protective air cover and the resulting loss of large capital ships to hostile aircraft action , were seen as a vindication of authorities on Airpower , such as Air Commodore Charles Rumney Samson CMG DSO & BAR AFC , founder of the Royal Naval Air Service , whose papers on the need for Air Defence at Home and in Malaya , Singapore , and Hong Kong had not been implemented , and US General Billy Mitchell ' s tactical air combat doctrine . Both men had resigned their Commissions due to a failure to adopt a modern policy towards Air Defence .

Chu X - PO The Chu X - PO , also known as the Chu ( AFAMF ) X - PO , was a Chinese fighter prototype towards the end of the Second World War . Development . Designed by the Chief of the Air Force Technical Bureau , Major General Chu Chia - Gen , in 1941 , the X - PO was a single - seat fighter monoplane , the single prototype of which was produced by AFAMF in 1943 . Based largely on the Curtiss Hawk 75 , it was of mixed construction with wooden three - spar wings , welded steel tube fuselage and covered in plywood skinning . It could carry up to four 20 mm cannon underwing , and had capacity to carry bombs via a centreline bomb rack , allowing it to function as a dive bomber . Operational history . It was anticipated that the X - PO would be produced in series at AFAMF No . 1 factory at Kunming , however the prototype was flown for the first time in 1943 , at Yangling . After circling the airfield , the X - PO landed too fast , ground - looped and was written off . In the meantime , the American entry into World War II meant that American fighters were available to the Chinese , removing the need for China to manufacture indigenous fighter aircraft . As such no further production was carried out . No data except armaments , construction and engine have survived .
