Originally composed of three infantry battalions and two armoured squadrons , several individual units rotated through the brigade . Although a full brigade had been trained and armed by 1951 , the success of the Inchon Landing meant that only 2nd Battalion , Princess Patricia ' s Canadian Light Infantry was initially sent . However , Chinese and North Korean forces subjected Canadian forces to fierce fighting throughout April 1951 . 2nd Battalion , Princess Patricia ' s Canadian Light Infantry earned a Presidential Unit Citation for their actions during the Battle of Kapyong while serving with the 27th Commonwealth Brigade . It had detached from the 25th Brigade in order to leave for Korea in advance of the formation , and would later rejoin its Canadian brigade group . Formation .

Officier d ' épée In the ancien Régime French Navy , an officier d ' épée ( literally , sword officer ) was a member of the " corps des officiers d ' épée " , one of the naval officer corps .

CN - 105 - 57 CN - 105 - 57 is a French 105 mm tank gun of 57 calibre length . The CN - 105 - 57 was fitted to some variants of the French AMX - 13 light tank and the widely - used Austrian SK - 105 Kurassier tank destroyer / light tank produced by Steyr - Daimler - Puch . Some of these vehicles were deployed by Qatar during the first Gulf War , and this is the only known combat use of this gun . The most significant development of the CN - 105 - 57 was the shortened 44 - calibre version developed by Israel to fit into the M51 " Super Sherman " tank and known locally as the CN - 105 D1 . In this guise the gun saw extensive combat use in 1967 and 1973 , scoring many victories in engagements with Syrian and Egyptian forces . The full - length gun recoiled too far to fit into even the larger T23 turret used on the M51 . Shortening the barrel , fitting a larger muzzle brake and reducing the cartridge propelling charge reduced the recoil to an acceptable length , although muzzle velocity was significantly reduced . Use of HEAT ammunition instead of kinetic energy rounds largely negated this change in terms of target effect , although accurate effective range was still reduced . Despite this the M51 still outgunned the 100mm D - 10T gun fitted to the T - 54 and T - 55 tanks used by Syria and Egypt and was a match for the 115mm gun and armour of the T - 62 . Ammunition was a modified version of that used in the 105 mm Modèle F1 gun fitted to the AMX - 30 MBT , and was manufactured locally by Israel Military Industries . Argentina also produced a shortened 44 calibre version of this gun , similar to the Israeli version , for use on their Repotenciado upgrade of ex - British Sherman Firefly tanks , and known locally as the L44 / 57 FTR 105 mm . Although these tanks still had the original smaller Sherman turret , the extended Firefly bustle gave enough space for the recoil within a limited elevation arc but left a very cramped turret . Ammunition was likewise a locally - produced modified version of that used in the AMX - 30 105 mm Modèle F1 gun , but was not the same as that used by Israel . Ammunition was later sourced from FMK . Many Israeli M51s were sold to Chile in the 1980 ' s and continued in use into the mid - 1990 ' s . Together with the Argentine Repotenciado these represented the swansong of the Sherman series as a gun tank , more than half a century after entering service . Some of the individual base hulls were by then more than 40 years old . Use of the shortened derivatives of the CN - 105 - 57 was then unique to South America .
7th Panzer Division ( Bundeswehr ) The 7th Panzer Division or Westphalian Panzer Division ( or " Westfälische Panzerdivision " ) was a major formation in the German Army ( " Heer " ) within the German Armed Forces or " Bundeswehr " whose headquarters was for many years in Lippstadt und Unna and , finally in Düsseldorf . Until its dissolution in 2006 it was seen as the " backbone of the Army " or the " spearhead of the German Army " . The majority of new weapon systems were introduced by this formation . Many Inspectors of the Army ( " Inspekteur des Heeres " ) were once divisional commander s of the 7th Armoured Division . Its last commander was Wolf - Joachim Clauß . It was the only division in the Northern Army Group without a forward defence sector in line against a projected Warsaw Pact attack ; the only immediately available reserve division .

23×115mm The 23x115 mm round is used by Soviet ( USSR ) / Russian / CIS aircraft autocannon , most notably by the GSh - 23L and GSh - 6 - 23 . Although the round has been superseded by the 30x165 mm round , the Russian Air Force still uses it in the GSh - 23L ( in aircraft ' s tail turrets and in the UPK - 23 - 250 gunpack / gunpod ) and GSh - 6 - 23 ( used in Su - 24 ) . This round still serves in many countries and is widely available . History . The round was derived from the 14 . 5×114mm round by necking it out to 23mm . The original rounds used a lower power charge of 33g of sw 4 / 7 powder and achieved only 690 m / s at a maximum pressure of 294 , 3MPa . In 1954 an improved ammunition was introduced , featuring better projectile design and ballistic properties . The newer rounds have a powder charge to achieve 720 m / s .
