Romanos Kourkouas Romanos Kourkouas ( ) was a Byzantine aristocrat and senior military leader of the mid - 10th century . Biography . Romanos was a scion of the Kourkouas family , a clan of Armenian origin that had established itself as one of the chief families among the Anatolian military aristocracy by the early 10th century . He was the son , and along with a daughter called Euphrosyne the only known child , of the great general John Kourkouas , who held the post of Domestic of the Schools ( commander - in - chief of the Byzantine army ) for 22 years and led the Byzantine armies against the Muslim border emirates in the period 926 – 944 . As an infant , he was reportedly saved from a heavy fever by the intervention of the Virgin Mary , at the Church of Pege , and as a result he served in the church as a " depotatos " ( a junior aide ) until his coming of age . Like most male members of his family , Romanos pursued a military career , about which little is known . The Byzantine historians Theophanes Continuatus and John Skylitzes merely mention that he held command in the East against the Muslims , conquered many fortresses , was named " patrikios " and governed several themes . On the basis of sigillographic evidence , he may likely have served as governor ( " strategos " ) of the theme of Mesopotamia , a post which was also held by his uncle Theophilos Kourkouas and his nephew John Tzimiskes . By the time of the death of Emperor Romanos II in 963 , he was already a " magistros " and " stratelates " of the East . The emperor ' s death caused a power vacuum , in which the Domestic of the Schools , Nikephoros Phokas , vied with the powerful chief minister Joseph Bringas for the governance of the state . Bringas attempted to gain the support of Romanos and Tzimiskes against Phokas , promising them the Domesticates of the West and East respectively . Instead of turning against Phokas , however , the two informed Phokas of the offer and led the troops to acclaim him emperor instead . As a reward , it appears that Phokas appointed him to the office promised by Bringas , as a seal belonging to " Romanos , " magistros " and Domestic of the Schools " and dating to Phokas ' reign has been found . Romans had one known son , also named John , who also became a senior general and fell in the Siege of Dorostolon in 971 against the Rus ' .

McClernand ' s XIII Corps moved out from Edwards Station ( now the town of Edwards , Mississippi ) on the morning of May 17 . The corps encountered the Confederates behind breastworks of cotton bales fronted by a bayou and abatis . They took cover as enemy artillery began firing . Union Brig . Gen . Michael K . Lawler formed his 2nd Brigade , Eugene A . Carr ' s 14th Division , which surged out of a meander scar , across the front of the Confederate forces , through waist - deep water , and into the enemy ' s breastworks , held by Brig . Gen . John C . Vaughn ' s East Tennessee Brigade .

24 cm Kanone 3 The 24 cm Kanone 3 ( 24 cm K 3 ) was a German heavy siege gun used in the Second World War by the first battalion of Artillerie - Regiment 84 . Four were in service when Germany invaded Poland , assigned to the first two batteries of I . / AR 84 . In the Battle of France the battalion still only had four guns . By Operation Barbarossa all three batteries were equipped with two guns apiece . This situation did not change for the next two years . Design & History . The K 3 ' s gun design was nothing innovative , but the same cannot be said for the carriage . Rheinmetall placed a lot of emphasis on ease of assembly . It did not require a crane because it used electric winches , mounted on the carriage , to pull various parts through a system of inclined ramps , guide rails and runways . It also used the Rheinmetall ' s dual - recoil system , first seen on the 21 cm Mörser 18 . The barrel recoiled normally in its cradle , but , in addition , the whole top carriage , which carried the barrel and its cradle , recoiled across the main part of the carriage . This system damped out the recoil forces and made for a very steady firing platform . The K 3 was a gigantic weapon that was transported in six loads . These consisted of the firing platform , the carriage , the cradle , the barrel , the breech and an electric generator . The Wehrmacht was not content with the gun ' s performance : " It was felt to be wasteful of time and manpower , the transport arrangements were cumbersome and the performance was not considered to be commensurate with the size of weapon . " These led to experiments by Krupp and Rheinmetall to extend the range . These included " pre - grooved " projectiles which showed no significant improvement , squeeze - bore , discarding sabot and even a smoothbore version . None of these reached beyond the experimental stage .
