Sling Camp Sling Camp was a World War I camp occupied by New Zealand soldiers beside the then - military town of Bulford on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire . History . The camp was initially created as an annexe to Bulford Camp in 1903 ; it was originally named " Sling Plantation " after the nearby woods . Soon after the beginning of World War I , New Zealand troops started work on building wooden huts here . They were later joined by Canadian troops , joiners , bricklayers , and civilian workers . The word " Plantation " was then dropped from the title and it simply became Sling Camp . After building was completed , it was said that if each hut were placed end - to - end they would measure 6 miles . In 1916 , the camp was occupied by New Zealand forces and was then known as Anzac Camp by some . It then comprised four main sections : Auckland , Wellington , Otago , and Canterbury Lines . It was officially called the 4th New Zealand Infantry Brigade Reserve Camp , and trained reinforcements and casualties who were regaining fitness . In 1918 , there were 4 , 300 men at Sling . Soon after the camp suffered large casualties as a result of the Spanish influenza . The camp also housed some New Zealand conscientious objector s ( among them Archibald Baxter and his brothers Alexander and John ) who had been forced to join the army and sent all the way from New Zealand to England to make an example of them . After the end of the war , there were 4600 New Zealand troops stationed at the camp and the camp became a repatriation centre . At that time there was unrest in other camps as a result of delays in demobilising troops . To try to restore order the " spit and polish " regime was enforced and route marches ordered . The men requested a relaxation of discipline as the war was over and they were far from home , however this was refused and the troops rioted , stealing food from the mess and all of the alcohol from the officers mess . In an attempt to resolve the situation , the officers and men were promised no repercussions , but this promise was not honoured ; and somewhat ironically the ringleaders were arrested , jailed and immediately shipped back to New Zealand . To occupy them , the New Zealand soldiers were put to work carving the shape of a large Kiwi in the chalk of the hill that overlooks the camp . The Bulford Kiwi as it is known is still there today . Much of the original camp was demolished in the 1920s and replaced by newer buildings .

Fayetteville rifle The Fayetteville Rifle was a 2 banded rifled musket of rifle length produced at the Confederate States Arsenal in Fayetteville , North Carolina .

In February , 1862 , the Fayetteville Observer , in describing the beginning of arms ’ manufacturing at the arsenal , reported : A few days ago we were shown one of a number of rifles furnished at the C . S . Armory here . It is much the same in general appearance , as the U . S . rifle for some years made at Harper ’ s Ferry and at Springfield , Mass . ; but for certain improvements , in the matter of sword bayonet , Maynard primer , and perfection of finish in all parts , it must be pronounced very superior . The back sights are set for 800 and 500 yards . Altogether , we think it the handsomest specimen of small arms , rifle or musket , we have ever seen - reflecting the greatest credit upon all concerned with its manufacture . " The first examples were manufactured using assorted M1855 lock blanks and are mounted in iron with high and medium high lockplate humps . Later examples are mounted in brass with a graceful " S " shaped hammer . Only the very early examples are known to have a patchbox .

Wichita - class replenishment oiler " Wichita " - class replenishment oilers comprised a class of seven replenishment oiler s used by the United States Navy from the late 1960s to the mid - 1990s .
