Siege of Corinth The Siege of Corinth ( also known as the First Battle of Corinth ) was an American Civil War battle fought from April 29 to May 30 , 1862 , in Corinth , Mississippi . Background . Following the Union Army victory at the Battle of Shiloh , Maj . Gen . Henry Halleck amassed three Union armies — the Army of the Tennessee , the Army of the Ohio , and the Army of the Mississippi — for an advance on the vital rail center of Corinth , Mississippi . Made cautious by the staggering losses at Shiloh , Halleck embarked on a tedious campaign of offensive entrenchment , fortifying after each advance . By May 25 , 1862 , after moving five miles in three weeks , Halleck was in position to lay siege to the town . Confederate morale was low and Beauregard was outnumbered two to one . The water was bad . Typhoid and dysentery had felled thousands of his men . At a council of war , the Confederate officers concluded that they could not hold the railroad crossover . Sickness had claimed the lives of almost as many men as the Confederacy had lost at Shiloh . Battle . Confederate commander General P . G . T . Beauregard saved his army by a hoax . Some of the men were given three days ' rations and ordered to prepare for an attack . As expected , one or two went over to the Union with that news . The preliminary bombardment began , and Union forces maneuvered for position . During the night of May 29 , the Confederate army moved out . They used the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to carry the sick and wounded , the heavy artillery , and tons of supplies . When a train arrived , the troops cheered as though reinforcements were arriving . They set up dummy Quaker Gun s along the defensive earthworks . Camp fires were kept burning , and buglers and drummers played . The rest of the men slipped away undetected , withdrawing to Tupelo , Mississippi . When Union patrols entered Corinth on the morning of May 30 , they found the Confederate troops gone . Farmington . Of Halleck ' s wing commanders John Pope proved to be the most aggressive during the campaign . Pope led the army ' s Left Wing and was furthest away from Halleck ' s headquarters . On May 3 Pope moved forward and captured the town of Farmington only a few miles from Corinth . Instead of moving the Center Wing under Don Carlos Buell forward , Halleck ordered Pope to withdraw and realign with Buell . General Pierre G . T . Beauregard ordered Earl Van Dorn to attack Pope ' s advanced wing on May 9 . Pope made a successful withdrawal and rejoined with Buell . Aftermath . John Pope , whose aggressiveness exceeded his strategic capabilities , remarked in his memoirs that Halleck ' s cautious campaign failed to take full advantage of a glittering array of talented Union officers , including " Grant , Sherman , Sheridan , Thomas , McPherson , Logan , Buell , Rosecrans and many others I might mention . " A Confederate army led by Maj . Gen . Earl Van Dorn attempted to retake the city in October 1862 , but was defeated in the Second Battle of Corinth by a Union army under the command of Maj . Gen . William Rosecrans .
Oscar E . Peck Oscar E . Peck ( 1848 – October 23 , 1906 ) was a Union Navy sailor in the American Civil War and a recipient of the U . S . military ' s highest decoration , the Medal of Honor , for his actions at the Battle of Forts Jackson and St . Philip . Born in 1848 in Bridgeport , Connecticut , Peck was still living in that city when he joined the Navy . He served during the Civil War as a second class boy on the . At the Battle of Forts Jackson and St . Philip near New Orleans on April 24 , 1862 , " Varuna " was rammed twice by the Confederate steamer ( formerly known as the " Charles Morgan " ) and eventually sunk .

Peck ' s official Medal of Honor citation reads : Peck served as second - class boy on board the " Varuna " during an attack on Forts Jackson and St . Philip , 24 April 1862 . Acting as powder boy of the after rifle , Peck served gallantly while the " Varuna " was repeatedly attacked and rammed and finally sunk . This was an extremely close - range action and , although badly damaged , the " Varuna " delivered shells abaft the " Morgan ' s " armor . Peck died on October 23 , 1906 , at age 57 or 58 and was buried at Spring Grove Cemetery in Darien , Connecticut .
Howlett Line The Howlett Line was a critical Confederate earthwork s dug during the Bermuda Hundred Campaign of the United States Civil War in May 1864 . Specifically , the line stretched across the Bermuda Hundred peninsula from the James River to the Appomattox River . It was named for the Howlett House that stood at the north end of the line . The Howlett line became famous as the " Cork in the Bottle " by keeping General Butler ' s Army of the James at bay . Details . Following the Battle of Ware Bottom Church ( May 20 , 1864 ) , the confederates began digging a critical set of defensive earthworks that became known as the Howlett Line . In Grant ' s " Personal Memoirs " he described a conversation with his Chief Engineer regarding Butler ' s predicament : During the Second Battle of Petersburg ( June 15 , 1864 ) General Beauregard pulled forces from the Howlett line to reinforce his defenses . The construction of Confederate fortifications and trenches known as the Howlett Line held Butler in place until Lee evacuated the position on April 2 , 1865 .
Augustin Joseph Caron Augustin Joseph Caron ( 1774 – 1822 ) was a lieutenant colonel in the French army during the Bourbon Restoration . He was accused and acquitted of conspiracy in 1820 .

9×25mm Mauser The 9×25mm Mauser ( or 9mm Mauser Export ) was a cartridge developed for the Mauser C96 service pistol . The cartridge was first produced by DWM in 1907 and later by German munitions makers Geco ( Gustav Genschow & Co . ) and RWS ( Rheinische - Westfalische Sprengstoff AG ) through World War II . Other manufacturers included Société Française des Munitions of Paris , France as well as various munitions factories in Austria and Hungary in the 1930s and 1940s . Mauser pistols in this relatively powerful caliber were primarily intended for export to Africa , Asia and South America . The 9mm Mauser Export cartridge was produced from 1907 to 1914 and then later from approximately 1930 to 1945 . The basis of this cartridge was the 7 . 63×25mm Mauser . The case length is the same as the 7 . 63×25mm Mauser , but the case is straight and does not have a bottleneck shape . This cartridge headspaces on the mouth of the case . The 9 mm Mauser should not be confused with the 9mm Parabellum ( 9x19mm Luger ) or the 9x23mm Steyr . As the German Army seemed to show more official interest in the P - 08 Luger than the C - 96 , Mauser developed a new design . In 1906 , Mauser introduced the Model 1906 - 08 ( or C / 06 - 08 ) pistol in 9×25mm Mauser caliber , which used a detachable box magazine of 6 , 10 or 15 rounds . This pistol had a similar layout to the C - 96 , with the magazine situated in front of the trigger group , but incorporated a locking system that was considerably different . Interested purchasers included the German and Brazilian armies . The pistol was never manufactured for commercial sale . In the 1930s a handful of Austrian , Hungarian and Swiss submachine guns and machine carbines were chambered for this caliber . Originally known as the Steyr - Solothurn S1 - 100 , the Steyr MP30 and MP34 were adopted by the Austrian Army and police and manufactured until 1940 . SIG automatic carbine models MKMO , MKMS , MKPO and MKPS in this caliber were produced in Switzerland until the end of 1942 . The Pál Király - designed " Géppisztoly " 39M and 43M in 9×25mm Mauser were produced by Danuvia in Hungary from 1939 through the end of World War II . Reloading . Reloadable cartridge cases may be produced by resizing and trimming 9mm Winchester Magnum brass . A reasonable starting point for load development would be . 38 ACP ( not . 38 Super ) load data . The . 38 Super data may possibly be more consistent with the original factory loading , as these had a claimed muzzle velocity of approx . 1362 fps with a 128 gr . bullet . The 8th edition of Cartridges of the World has a listing in the entry for 9mm Mauser using a 125 gr . bullet with a heavier charge of Blue Dot powder than is normally listed as the maximum for 124 gr . jacketed bullets in the . 38 Super . Old loading data may incorporate more powerful loads than is intended with modern components , but care should be taken not to underload the cartridge to ensure proper cycling in an auto - loading firearm .
USS Herreshoff No . 308 ( SP - 2232 ) USS " Herreshoff No . 308 " ( SP - 2232 ) , also written Herreshoff # 308 , was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1918 to 1923 . Construction , acquisition , and commissioning . At the suggestion of Assistant Secretary of the Navy ( and future President of the United States ) Franklin D . Roosevelt ( 1882 – 1945 ) , R . E . Tod of New York City , seeking a way to contribute to the U . S . war effort during World War I , contracted with the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company at Bristol , Rhode Island , for one of a small group of 60 - ton steel - hulled steam - powered boats built to a naval patrol boat design for private owners with the intention that they would be made available to the U . S . Navy in time of war . Tods boat , with the builders name " Herreshoff No . 308 " , was completed in 1917 . On 21 February 1918 , the U . S . Navy acquired " Herreshoff No . 308 " from Tod for use as a section patrol boat during World War I . She was commissioned at Newport , Rhode Island , as USS " Herreshoff No . 308 " ( SP - 2232 ) on 23 February 1918 . Operational history . After spending a short time at New London , Connecticut , fitting out with listening gear , " Herreshoff No . 308 " departed New London on 5 May 1918 in company with the patrol boats and bound for the Panama Canal Zone , stopping at Charleston , South Carolina ; Key West , Florida ; and Guantanamo Bay , Cuba , en route . She arrived at Cristóbal in the Canal Zone on 1 June 1918 . For the next two years she served on patrol duty in the Canal Zone at Cristóbal and Balboa . " Herreshoff No . 308 " was loaned to the United States Department of War on 14 October 1920 for use by the Governor of the Panama Canal Zone . The Canal Zone government used her as a patrol craft . Disposal . Returned to the Navy in September 1923 , " Herreshoff No . 308 " was stricken from the Navy List on 12 September 1923 . She was sold to J . A .

Far Eastern Liaison Office The Far Eastern Liaison Office ( FELO ) was a Second World War Propaganda and Field Intelligence unit set up under the orders of the Allied Land Commander , General Sir Thomas Blamey , on 19 June 1942 . FELO became one of four sections of the Allied Intelligence Bureau ( AIB ) which was established on 6 July 1942 to control and co - ordinate the activities of various intelligence organisations that had been set up after the outbreak of war with Japan . Far Eastern Liaison Office was a propaganda organisation and was given a non - descriptive cover name to protect its real intelligence purpose . Its objectives were : While some activity was common to both the Services Reconnaissance Department and FELO the general line of demarcation was that SRD was responsible for sabotage and physical operations while FELO was responsible for propaganda and misdirection . Specifically the objects of the activities of the FELO were : In its initial stages FELO was under the control of AIB but in September 1942 operational control was transferred to the three Australian Chiefs - of - Staff and the Senior Officer , Netherlands Forces . It was agreed that FELO ’ s political activities would be controlled by the Minister for External Affairs through the Political Warfare Division of his Department . The personnel of FELO were formed from the Australian Services , and the Netherlands East Indies Forces Intelligence Service . The organisation , commanded by an executive with its headquarters located in Melbourne with elements stationed in Brisbane , consisted of eight operational sections : Far from being deskbound professional influencers , FELO operatives performed some of the most hair - raising intelligence operations of the war . Personnel were heavily involved in field operations , often penetrating deep into Japanese - held territory in one or two man teams . FELO was commanded by CDR J . C . R . Proud RANVR . Due to the difficulty of deconfliction with other AIB operations , FELO undertook several operations with the Services Reconnaissance Department towards the end of the war .

Harold I . Johnston Harold Irving Johnston ( March 9 , 1892 – August 28 , 1949 ) was a soldier in the United States Army who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during World War I . Biography . Johnston was born in Kendell , Kansas on March 9 , 1892 and died August 28 , 1949 . He is buried in Fairmount Cemetery , Denver , Colorado . Medal of Honor citation .

Entered service at : Chicago , Ill . Birth : Kendell , Kans . C O . No . : 20 , W . D . , 1919 . Citation : When information was desired as to the enemy ' s position on the opposite side of the Meuse River , Sgt . Johnston , with another soldier , volunteered without hesitation and swam the river to reconnoiter the exact location of the enemy . He succeeded in reaching the opposite bank , despite the evident determination of the enemy to prevent a crossing . Having obtained his information , he again entered the water for his return . This was accomplished after a severe struggle which so exhausted him that he had to be assisted from the water , after which he rendered his report of the exploit .
Bazana The Bazana ( often called Vasana in older English sources ) was a galley which was a part of the Spanish Armada of 1588 . It played a minor and relatively unremarkable part in the campaign : whilst passing through the Bay of Biscay the fleet was hit by a tempest , forcing the four lightly - built ships of the galley squadron to take shelter in French ports . One galley , the " Diana " , ran aground in the harbour entrance at Bayonne , but the crew , including the galley slave s who rowed the ship , were rescued ; the " Bazana " and the other two ships took around ten days to repair their storm damage , and subsequently returned to Spain . The " Bazana " owes its fame to a highly fictitionalized account of its fate associated with David Gwynne , a Welsh prisoner who was forced to serve in the Armada as a galley slave . According to this version , the " Diana " sank with the loss of all hands when the squadron were still far from port , and the captain of the " Bazana " appealed to Gwynne ' s skill as a seaman in the hope that he could save the ship ; Gwynne exploited the situation to get the slaves freed from their shackles , enabling them to kill the Spanish crew and seize the ship using homemade stilettos . Next , this version claims , another galley , the " Royal " ( i . e . the " Capitana " or flagship ) , attempted to attack them , but Gwynne and the other freed slaves boarded the larger ship , massacred the second Spanish crew and sailed both ships to Bayonne . Gwynne ' s story was popularized as a propaganda in the Dutch Revolt , and came to be treated as fact by many English historians of the nineteenth century , inspiring Theodore Watts - Dunton in , " The Jubilee Greeting at Spithead to the Men of Greater Britain " . The reality was exposed in the 1880s by the Spanish naval historian " Capitan de Navio " Cesáreo Fernández Duro , who argued that Gwynn was even aboard the " Diana " rather than the " Bazana " : he and some other English galley slaves simply absconded , or were allowed to depart , after the squadron reached harbour in France . Duro ' s findings were communicated to the English audience by Prof . Sir John Knox Laughton in 1894 . Most detailed modern histories of the Armada campaign make a point of refuting the fictions . A galley named " Bazana " subsequently participated in the Spanish victory in the Battle of Cornwall in 1595 .
