Battle of Hakadal The battle at Hakadal was the first battle in Snorre Sturlasson ' s narration of Harald Fairhair ' s unification of Norway . " Heimskringla " tells of how when king Halfdan the Black of Vestfold died his son Harald was still only a child of ten . The kings of the surrounding countries quickly attempted to take advantage of the perceived weakness of the child king . While several kings from Oppland were gathering forces in the north , king Gandalf Alfgeirsson of Alfheimr was the first to strike . He split his army in two , one force led by his son Hake was to advance on land , while the other , led by Gandalv , was to cross the sea and attack the Vestfold army from the rear . On hearing of the enemy army approaching king Harald ' s regent , his uncle Guttorm , quickly raised an army and marched towards the army advancing overland . Guttorm destroyed the enemy army , and Hake fell there . The valley were they fought has later taken his name . After the battle Guttorm turned his forces to face the army of king Gandalv that had landed in Vestfold , further south . Guttorm forced Gandalv to retreat , and destroyed most of his army .

Second Battle of the Isonzo The Second Battle of the Isonzo was fought between the armies of the Kingdom of Italy and of Austria - Hungary in the Italian Front in World War I , between 18 July and 3 August 1915 . Overview . After the failure of the First Battle of the Isonzo , two weeks earlier , Luigi Cadorna , commander - in - chief of the Italian forces , decided for a new thrust against the enemy lines with a heavier artillery support . General Cadorna ' s tactics were as simple as they were harsh : after a heavy artillery bombardment , his troops were to advance frontally against the Austrian trenches and take them , after having overcome their barbed - wire fences . The insufficiency of war material – from rifles , to artillery shells to shears to cut the barbed wire – nullified their numerical superiority caused by the recent arrival of 290 , 000 Italian soldiers . The battle . On the Karst Plateau took place an exhausting series of hand - to - hand fights involving the Italian Second and Third Armies , with severe casualties on both sides . Bayonets , swords , knives , and various scrap metal and debris were all used in the terrifying melee . The Hungarian 20th division lost two - thirds of its effectives and was routed , partly because of the successive attacks and partly because of the unfavourable terrain . On 25 July the Italians occupied the Cappuccio Wood , a position south of Mount San Michele , which was not very steep but dominated quite a large area including the Austrian bridgehead of Gorizia da Sud . The Mount San Michele was briefly held by Italian forces , but a desperate counterattack by Colonel Richter , commanding a group of elite regiments , recaptured it . In the northern section of the front , in the Julian Alps , the Italians managed to conquer Mount Batognica over Kobarid , which had an important strategic meaning in the next battles . The battle wore out on its own when both sides ran out of ammunition for both light arms and artillery . The total casualties during the three weeks were about 91 , 000 men , of which 43 , 000 Italians and 48 , 000 Austro - Hungarians .

Henry , the son of William Henry of Lancaster and Ann Wood Henry , was born in Lancaster , Pennsylvania . His father , an important gunsmith , apprenticed him at the age of 14 to an uncle , also a gunsmith , who moved with John Joseph to Detroit . Perhaps due to lack of business , the young man returned to Lancaster , on foot , with a guide who died in the wilderness along the way . At age sixteen he enlisted as a rifleman in the Pennsylvania state troops and marched with Benedict Arnold ' s expedition to Quebec in 1775 . Taken prisoner during the ill - fated attempt to storm the city on January 1 , 1776 , Henry remained confined for nine months .

These injuries prevented his attendance at court , and in 1809 the legislature debated , only to reject , a petition to remove him from office . He resigned his office in January 1811 . In his final years he wrote " An Accurate and Interesting Account of the Hardships and Sufferings of That Band of Heroes , Who Traversed the Wilderness in the Campaign Against Quebec in 1775 " , published in 1812 after his death .
