Wolseley ring The Wolseley ring was a group of 19th century British army officers loyal to Garnet Wolseley and considered by him to be clever , brave , experienced and hard - working . After the Crimean War Wolseley started to keep a note of the best officers he met , and began gathering a network of able military men loyal to him . There were other circles around other military leaders ; later these would dwindle as more formal selection and promotion procedures became established . The ' ring ' itself was rooted in Wolseley ' s appointments for the Ashanti Campaign of 1873 - 4 , in which Wolseley led British troops to take control of the Gold Coast . He chose officers he had got to know during his Red River Campaign in Canada in 1870 : as well as other key figures : Men from this group accompanied Wolseley on his various projects for about a decade . They are sometimes called the Ashanti Ring , or , in a punning reference to Wolseley ' s first name , the Garnet Ring . Later they were the " Africans " , against the " Indians " of the rival Roberts Ring of Lord Roberts and Herbert Kitchener during the Boer War . The Secretary for War Lord Lansdowne had worked with Roberts in India , so was alienated from Wolseley and most of the War Office . The Cabinet made Wolseley Commander - in - Chief of the Army , and Roberts was fobbed off as the Commander - in - Chief in Ireland . But during the Boer War , Roberts and then Kitchener replaced Buller of the Wolseley Ring .
Philip van Artevelde Philip van Artevelde ( c . 1340 – 27 November 1382 ) was a Flemish patriot , the son of Jacob van Artevelde . Because of his father ' s prominence he was godson of English queen Philippa of Hainault , who held him in her arms during his baptism . Largely due to his father ' s name and the memory of his godmother , Philip was a leader of Ghent in 1381 at the head of the burgher ' s rebellion against Count Louis II of Flanders . Early success led to the capture of Bruges and most of Flanders by the rebels , but Philip perished in the crush of bodies at the Battle of Roosebeke in 1382 . His body was displayed before French king Charles VI and then hanged from a tree . After his death the command of Ghent was taken up by Franz Ackerman . His life was commemorated in a tragic play by Sir Henry Taylor in 1834 .
HMS Ross ( J45 ) HMS " Ross " was a Hunt class minesweeper , built by Lobnitz and launched on 12 June 1919 . She was originally called HMS " Ramsey " , but was renamed prior to launch . So far she has been the only ship of the Navy to bear the name " Ross " , in this case after the Ross hunt . In 1940 , " Ross " was serving with the 5th Minesweeping Flotilla . With the rest of her flotilla , she took part in Operation Dynamo , the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk , making a number of trips and taking off more than 1 , 000 men . Her captain was wounded on the first trip , so her first lieutenant , Kenneth Gadd , took over command . He was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross for his actions and remained in command until February 1943 . In 1941 , " Ross " had a narrow escape when attacked by a German bomber a few miles out of Aberdeen : a bomb passed through her bow without exploding , leaving its tail fin behind . In 1941 , during Warship Week , the Admiralty asked all the towns and counties in the country to adopt a ship . As a result , on 6 December 1941 , " Ross " was formally adopted by Ross - on - Wye and the association remained until she was decommissioned in 1945 . " Ross " was then finally sold for scrap on 13 March 1947 . An original Ship ' s Crest was presented to the town of Ross - on - Wye and it adorned the Mayor ' s chair in the Town Council Chamber for many years . More recently it has been loaned to " TS Ross " , the local Sea Cadet Unit , for safe keeping and it can be viewed by the public on their maindeck .
List of Canadian Victoria Cross recipients The Victoria Cross ( post - nominal letters " VC " ) is the highest war honour of the British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations and is a military award for extraordinary valour and devotion to duty while facing a hostile force . In Canada , it can be awarded to members of the Canadian Forces of any rank in any service , and to allies serving under or with Canadian military command ; it is the highest honour in the Canadian honours system , placed before all other orders , decorations and medals , including the Order of Canada , in the Order of Precedence . As of 1993 , Canadians were no longer eligible for the British Victoria Cross , for the medal was replaced with a new Canadian Victoria Cross . It has yet to be awarded . In appearance , the new one is identical to the British medal , but the words are in Latin instead of English ; by using a language that is an ancestor of both English and French , the medal avoids linguistic discrimination between Canada ' s two official languages . The Victoria Cross has been presented to 96 Canadians , or people closely associated with Canada , between its creation soon after the Crimean War and 1993 when the Canadian Victoria Cross was instituted . However , no Canadian has received either honour since 1945 . The first Canadian to be awarded the Victoria Cross was Alexander Roberts Dunn for his actions at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War in 1854 . Thomas Ricketts , a private in the Royal Newfoundland Regiment during the First World War , received the Victoria Cross and is sometimes erroneously considered a Canadian soldier , but Newfoundland was a self - governing dominion at the time and did not become a province of Canada until 1949 . Seventy - one Victoria Crosses were awarded to Canadians for their actions in the First World War and sixteen medals were awarded during the Second World War . The remaining recipients were for actions in the Battle of Balaclava , the Indian Rebellion of 1857 , and the Second Boer War . William Hall , a Nova Scotian , was the first black recipient of the Victoria Cross . The last living Canadian recipient of the British Victoria Cross , " Smokey " Smith , died in August 2005 .
Ammunition dump An ammunition depot , ammunition supply point ( ASP ) , ammunition compound , ammunition handling area ( AHA ) , ammunition dump , ammo dump , or bomb dump , is a military storage facility for live ammunition and explosives . The storage of live ammunition and explosives is inherently hazardous . There is the potential for accidents in unloading , packing and transfer ; the threat of theft , misuse or sabotage ; and , if neglected , the near - certainty that poorly stored explosives will catch fire and / or degrade and become shock - sensitive over time . Despite intensive preventive measures , ammunition depots around the world suffer from non - combat fires and explosions - rarely , but mostly with devastating consequences . Usually , an ammunition depot experiencing even minor explosions in one of its sites / buildings , is immediately evacuated together with surrounding civilian areas . Thus , all of the stored ammunition is left to detonate itself completely for days or weeks , with very limited attempts at firefighting from a safe distance . If the ammunitions are artillery shell s and other heavy types , the whole depot site affected is typically levelled . Typical elements . The typical ammo dump will have several of the following elements : Field sites . Ammunition dump as a term is more commonly ascribed to sites that store munitions " in the field " for imminent or immediate use . These are often targets for enemy artillery attack or air attack .
Norinco Type 80 SPAAG The Norinco Type 80 SPAAG is a Chinese self - propelled anti - aircraft gun based on the soviet design ZSU - 57 - 2 . Description . The self - propelled anti - aircraft defense Type - 80 is the Chinese version of the ZSU - 57 - 2 . The armament is the same and the tower is also configured the same way . The main difference between the Chinese system and the Soviet system is the chassis . While the Soviets developed a lighter chassis with only four wheels in the tracks , the Chinese designs differs in having five wheels . As the chassis of the vehicle is virtually identical to Chinese Type 69 , it has the same five wheels configuration as the MBT , with the same distance between the first and second wheel . The Chinese system was developed during the 80s but had the same problems as the Soviet system . The armament was of acceptable quality , but the tower was extremely slow , and by the 1980s , the system was hopelessly outdated .

Charles I , Duke of Brittany Charles of Blois ( 1319 – 29 September 1364 ) claimed the title Duke of Brittany , from 1341 to his death . Charles was born in Blois , the son of Guy I of Blois - Châtillon , count of Blois , by Margaret of Valois , a sister of king Philip VI of France . He was a devout man , who took piety to the extreme of mortifying his own flesh . It is said that he placed pebbles in his shoes , wore ropes tight with knots near his flesh and confessed every night in fear of sleeping in a state of sin . He was nevertheless an accomplished military leader , who inspired loyalty by his religious fervour . On 4 June 1337 in Paris , he married Joanna of Dreux , heiress and niece of duke John III . Together , Charles and Joanna fought the House of Montfort in the Breton War of Succession ( 1341 – 1364 ) , with the support of the crown of France . Despite his piety , Charles did not hesitate in ordering the massacre of 2000 civilians after the siege of Quimper . After initial successes , Charles was taken prisoner by the English in 1347 . Thomas Dagworth was the official captor of Charles of Blois . He was released nine years afterwards against a ransom of about half a million ecús , and resumed the war against the Montforts . Family . By his marriage to Joanna , he had five children : Death and Legacy . Charles died in 1364 in the Battle of Auray which determined the end of the Breton War of Succession with the victory of the Montforts . He was canonized as saint of the Roman Catholic church for his devotion to religion . However the canonization process was nullified by Pope Gregory XI at the request of Duke John V of Brittany , Charles ' final opponent in the Breton War of Succession and the recognized Duke of Brittany under the first Treaty of Guerande . Subsequently , in 1904 , Charles was beatified and therefore may be referred to as the " Blessed Charles of Blois " . His Roman Catholic " Feast Day " is September 30 .

Anti - personnel weapon An anti - personnel weapon is one primarily used to injure or kill people . Because these do not discriminate between soldiers and civilians , there are international political movements to ban these various weapons . The most common use of this term is for certain low - powered explosive devices . While the distinction is very old — a spear is anti - personnel , while a catapult is of more use against buildings than individuals — the large - scale development of military technology in the 19th and 20th centuries has made the concept a key consideration in design . For instance , an anti - personnel landmine will explode into small and sharp splinters that tear flesh but have no effect on metal surfaces , and will be designed not to explode when a vehicle rolls over it . The most common modern anti - personnel weapons are cluster bomb s , claymore mine s , and booby trap s . A hand grenade is generally used as an anti - personnel weapon , though it can destroy light vehicles and structures , but it isn ' t generally referred to as one because it is hurled at a specific , tactical target and its results are immediate , rather than randomly sown to deny access to a stretch of ground and left around until it detonates . There are also more exotic classes of weapons , such as neutron bomb s , chemicals , and biological weapon s which only attack people . But as there is greater international criticism of them , they are therefore not used . These are not generally referred to as anti - personnel weapons , but by their own names or group terms ( e . g . , NBC weapons ) which serve to get them specifically banned .
