List of British units in the American Revolutionary War This is a list of British units in the American Revolutionary War ( 1775 – 1783 ) who fought against the American rebels and their French , Spanish and Dutch allies in the thirteen North American colonies , including battles in Florida and the West Indies . In addition to the regular army it includes German auxiliary units ( known collectively as Hessians ) , and militia and provincial units formed from Loyalists , West Indians , and Canadians .

Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot The Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot , is a former United States Navy ammunition depot located in Hingham , Massachusetts . At its peak , it employed over 2 , 400 people . It also consisted of 90 buildings at that time . The Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot Annex was located nearby , and served as a storage area for the depot . History . From 1903 until 1961 , The Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot ( originally called the Hingham Naval Reserve ) was a major supplier of U . S . munitions , occupying 990 acres ( 4 . 0 km2 ) on the Weymouth Back River ( in the section once known as The Hockley ) . At peak capacity in 1945 , over 2 , 400 civilians and military personnel worked there . In the mid 1950s , the site contained over 90 buildings , its own telephone exchange , and 15 cranes . The base was decommissioned in 1961 , though the Navy held on to the property until 1971 , when it was turned over to the town of Hingham . Today much of the site is now occupied by the town ' s Bare Cove Park .
Castle Tioram Castle Tioram ( pronounced " " Chee - rum " " from Scottish Gaelic " Caisteal Tioram " meaning " dry castle " ) is a ruined castle that sits on the tidal island Eilean Tioram in Loch Moidart , Lochaber , Highland , Scotland . It is located west of Acharacle , approximately from Fort William . Though hidden from the sea , the castle controls access to Loch Shiel . It is also known to the locals as " Dorlin castle " The castle — a listed building and scheduled ancient monument — is the traditional seat of Clan MacDonald of Clan Ranald , a branch of Clan Donald . Castle Tioram was seized by Government forces around 1692 when Clan Chief Allan of Clanranald joined the Jacobite Court in France , despite having sworn allegiance to the British Crown . A small garrison was stationed in the castle until the Jacobite Uprising of 1715 when Allan recaptured and torched it , purportedly to keep it out of the hands of Hanoverian forces . It has been unoccupied since that time , although there are some accounts suggesting it was partially inhabited thereafter including storage of firearms from the De Tuillay in the 1745 Jacobite Uprising and Lady Grange ' s account of her kidnapping . The curtain wall is believed to date from the 13th century whilst the tower and other interior buildings are of 15th to 17th century construction . Amie mac Ruari is said to have extended the castle in the 14th century . The castle is now in extremely poor condition and in 1998 was closed to the public at the request of Highland Council ; a major structural collapse occurred at the north west curtain wall in 2000 . Controversial proposals to restore the castle by the new owners , Anta Estates , were announced in 1997 and received planning consent from Highland Council . This included the creation of a clan centre / museum , domestic apartments , and public access . However , Historic Scotland refused Scheduled Monument Consent — a decision upheld after a local public inquiry . The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland holds a substantial archive of research information , drawings , and photographs lodged by the current owners . The castle can be reached on foot across the tidal causeway , but there is no access to the interior because of the risk of falling masonry . Eilean Tioram is one of 43 tidal island s that can be walked to from the mainland of England , Wales & Scotland and one of 17 that can be walked to from the Scottish mainland .

August von Heeringen August von Heeringen ( 26 November 1855 – 29 September 1927 ) was a Prussian admiral of the German Empire . He headed the Imperial Navy News Office ( Nachrichtenbureau der Reichsmarine ) and served as the Chief of the German Naval General Staff ( Admiralstab ) 12 March 1911 - 31 March 1913 , and was present at the famous War Council of 8 December 1912 . He worked with leaders of the German Empire such as Kaiser Wilhelm II , and admirals Alfred von Tirpitz , Georg Alexander von Müller , Gustav von Senden - Bibran , and Friedrich von Hollmann to build a strong German navy . He saw it as a means to secure Germany ' s position on the world stage . Also , he saw a great national navy as a unifying force for an empire still divided into various kingdoms . At the Navy News Office he worked with and attempted to direct pressure groups such as the Pan - German League and the Colonial Society ( Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft ) , and the Navy League ( Germany ) ( Flottenverein ) . In March 1896 , at the request of Admiral Otto von Diederichs , Chief of Staff of the Naval High Command he produced the first naval plans for a war against Britain , which emphasized rapid mobilization and preemptive strikes . He had become something of a follower of Tirpitz , and , when the latter took over the German Imperial Naval Office ( Reichsmarineamtin ) in 1897 , he followed to head up the Central Division ( Zentralabteilung ) . At the Kaiser ' s request in January 1913 , he was involved in efforts to plan a coordinated wartime use of the Italian and Austrian fleets in the Mediterranean to prevent French troop movements from North Africa .
Corvo ( knife ) The Corvo is a bladed weapon typically used in Chile . It is a double - edged knife with a curved blade of approximately 12 inches . Initially a tool similar to a grape hook , it was widely used in combat during the War of the Pacific . It was not standard issue , but rather a personal weapon or tool that the soldiers brought with them from home . Per local legend , Chilean soldiers would consume chupilca del diablo in order to drive themselves into a frenzy prior to close - combat , attacking the enemy with their corvos . When fighting with a corvo , the wielder will not feint with the blade itself ; traditionally it is used in conjunction with a rag , poncho or stick in the off - hand , which allows the bearer to parry an incoming attack . The corvo is then used to counterattack with a swiping , slashing or stabbing motion . Due to its popularity , the Chilean army refined the weapon and added it to their arsenal . Today it is the traditional symbol of Chilean commandos and its use is encouraged in training . Variants . There are a few different models of corvo , the modern versions are :

During the start of Operation Barbarossa and the Continuation War the 163rd Division was to be transferred from Norway to Finland , and Sweden decided to allow safe transit of the division by railway through Swedish territory . The decision was in conflict with the Swedish neutrality - policy causing a political crisis ( the " Midsummer Crisis " of 1941 ) , and it raised many challenging questions about Sweden ' s neutrality during World War II . This is still to this very day a highly debated subject in Sweden and in the Nordic countries . The division was transferred June 25 to July 12 . In Swedish literature the division is better known as " Division Engelbrecht " after its commander

Nardi FN . 305 The Nardi FN . 305 was an Italian fighter trainer and liaison monoplane developed by the Fratelli Nardi company . Development . The FN . 305 was designed as trainer and liaison aircraft and the prototype first flew on 19 January 1935 . The FN . 305 was a low - wing cantilever monoplane of mixed construction . It had tailskid landing gear , with the main gear retracting inwards . It was powered by a nose - mounted 200 hp ( 149 kW ) Fiat A . 70S inline piston engine . The prototype was a tandem two - seater with an enclosed cockpit . It was intended to produce both single - seat and two - seat variants and the next prototype was a single - seat fighter trainer followed by a two - seat basic trainer prototype which both had open cockpits . Two long - range FN . 305D variants were then produced powered by a 200 hp ( 149 kW ) Walter Bora radial engine . The first FN . 305D was a two - seater which was used on a record breaking flight between Rome and Addis Ababa in March 1939 gaining a class record for covering the 4463 . 8 km ( 2 , 773 , 68 miles ) at an average speed of 240 km / h ( 149 mph ) . The second FN . 305D was a single - seat bought by Yugoslavia for an aborted attempt at a non - stop North Atlantic flight . The prototype was re - engined with an Alfa Romeo 115 engine as the FN . 305A which then entered production by Piaggio as the Nardi works were not large enough . The Italian Air Force had ordered 258 aircraft most of them two - seat FN . 305A fighter trainers and liaison aircraft , a few of the aircraft were completed as single - seat open - cockpit FN . 305Cs and enclosed - cockpit FN . 305Ds . Following the Italian order in 1938 nine aircraft were sold to Chile and 31 to Romania . Romania then built 124 aircraft under licence by IAR . The largest export order came from France but only 41 had been delivered when Italy declared war on France in June 1940 . The final export customer was Hungary who ordered 50 . An improved version was developed as the Nardi FN . 315 .
Battle of the Col de Panissars The Battle of the Col de Panissars was fought on 30 September and 1 October 1285 between the forces of Philip III of France and Peter III of Aragón . It was a severe defeat for the French , who were already retiring over the Pyrenees when the Aragonese fell on them . It was the last battle of the Aragonese Crusade , a papally - sanctioned war on behalf of Charles of Valois to secure the Aragonese throne from the excommunicate king Peter , who had conquered Sicily against papal interests . The battle followed on the heels of the naval victory at Les Formigues on 4 September . Location and battle . The pass around the massif of Albères ( 568 m ) was the main route through the Pyrenees in Antiquity . The Romans called it the " Summum Pyrenæum " . It has since been superseded by the Col de Perthus one kilometre to the northeast . Having promised to leave the passage to the French king and his family , the Aragonese troops contented themselves with attacking the retreating French army , decimated by dysentery . Peter entrusted the vanguard to Ramon de Montcada and his Almogàvers , who massacred the fatigued French but spared the royal family . This first attack was followed up by a second attack by Roger de Lauria , the admiral of the fleet which had defeated the French at Les Formigues and had then disembarked to fight on land . The result of all this was a rout : the French were decimated further and it was a complete Aragonese victory . According to the chronicle of Ramon Muntaner , the festivities of celebration lasted eight days in Barcelona . Legacy . When , in 1302 , Charles of Valois intervened in Sicily in support of Charles II of Naples against Frederick III of Sicily at the head of four thousand knights in the pay of the pope , Frederick reminded him of the gesture of leniency and magnanimity which his father , Peter , had shown to Charles family at the Col de Panissars . Admitting a lack of gratefulness , Charles ceased hostilities and signed the Peace of Caltabellotta .
