Château de Coucy The Château de Coucy is a French castle in the commune of Coucy - le - Château - Auffrique , in the " département " of Aisne , built in the 13th century and renovated by Viollet - le - Duc in the 19th . In April 1917 , the German army dynamited the keep and the four towers using 28 tons of explosives to prevent their use by enemy artillery spotters as the Germans fell back in the region . During its heyday , it was famous for the size of its central tower and the pride of its lords , who adopted the staunchly independent rhyme : " Roi ne suis , ne Prince ne Duc ne Comte aussi ; Je suis le sire de Coucy " ( " I am not a King , nor Prince nor Duke nor Count ; I am the Lord of Coucy " ) . The castle was constructed in the 1220s by Enguerrand III de Coucy . The castle proper occupies the tip of a bluff or " falaise " . It forms an irregular trapezoid of 92 x 35 x 50 x 80 m . At the four corners are cylindrical towers 20 m in diameter ( originally 40 m in height ) . Between two towers on the line of approach was the massive " donjon " ( keep ) . The donjon was the largest in Europe , measuring 35 meters wide and 55 meters tall . The smaller towers surrounding the court were as big as the donjons being built at that time by the French monarchy . The rest of the bluff is covered by the lower court of the castle , and the small town . Coucy was occupied in September 1914 by German troops during World War I . It became a military outpost and was frequented by German dignitaries , including Kaiser Wilhelm II himself . In March 1917 the German army destroyed the keep and the 4 towers . It is not known whether this act had some military purpose or it was merely an act of barbarism . The destruction caused so much public outrage that in April 1917 the ruins were declared " a memorial to barbarity " . War reparations were used to clear the towers and to consolidate the walls but the ruins of the keep were left in place . One of its lords , Enguerrand VII de Coucy ( 1340 – 1397 ) is the subject of historian Barbara Tuchman ' s study of the fourteenth century , " A Distant Mirror " . It also features extensively in British author Anthony Price ' s 1982 crime / espionage novel " The Old Vengeful " . Château de Coucy has been listed as a " monument historique " by the French Ministry of Culture since 1862 , and is managed by the " Centre des monuments nationaux " .
Admiralty Constabulary The Admiralty Constabulary was a police force in the United Kingdom formed as a result of the Special Constables Act 1923 . The Constabulary can trace its history back to 1686 when the Royal Navy needed an organisation to prevent dockyard crime . So the Secretary to the Admiralty - Samuel Pepys , the diarist - formed a force of ' porters , rounders , warders and watchmen ' to guard the Naval Yards . Porters identified and escorted visitors , rounders patrolled the yard , warders were responsible for the keys and backed up the porters at the gates , and the part - time watchmen guarded buildings and areas by night . In 1834 this force became the first dockyard police , with full police powers within the dockyards , and acting as policemen over offences committed by employees and Naval personnel within a radius of five miles of the yard . Rewards for obtaining convictions quickly led to corruption , so the force was ' cleaned up ' and then abolished . The Metropolitan Police took over , and senior Naval officers became magistrates . A Royal Marine Police Force was formed 1934 and subsequent changes led in 1949 to the Admiralty Constabulary being created . The Ministry of Defence Police absorbed the AC in 1971 , along with the Army Department Constabulary and the Air Force Department Constabulary .

Wand Bewossen Wand Bewossen ( died 10 December 1777 ) is a military figure in Ethiopia n history . He was on the losing side in the Battle of Nefas Mewcha ( 1769 ) , but one of the victorious generals in the Three battles of Sarbakusa ( May 1771 ) . For his valor in the Battle of Faggeta ( 9 December 1769 ) , which included pursuing Fasil for three days after the engagement , he was made governor of Begemder , as well as married to Ayabdar , granddaughter of " Ras " Mikael Sehul . Not long after this marriage , Wand Bewossen then desired to wed Weshen Azal , the sister of Hailu Eshte . Hailu would not consent to this marriage : according to Herbert Weld Blundell ' s translation Hailu considered this alliance bigamous , but Crummy ' s interpretation of the Ge ' ez text is Hailu was more concerned about the incestuous nature of the marriage . Wand Bewsossen then resorted to physical force to Hailu until he finally dropped all of his objections to the alliance . He was killed at Ashawa when he fell from his horse .
William X , Duke of Aquitaine William X ( 1099 – 9 April 1137 ) , called the Saint , was Duke of Aquitaine , Duke of Gascony , and Count of Poitou ( as William VIII ) between 1126 and 1137 . He was the son of William IX by his second wife , Philippa of Toulouse . William was born in Toulouse during the brief period when his parents ruled the capital . His birth is recorded in the " Chronicle of Saint - Maixent " for the year 1099 : " Willelmo comiti natus est filius , equivoce Guillelmus vocatus " ( " a son was born to Count William , named William like himself " ) . Later that same year , much to his wife ' s ire , Duke William mortgaged Toulouse to Philippa ' s cousin , Bertrand of Toulouse , and then left on Crusade . Philippa and her infant son were left in Poitiers . Long after Duke William ' s return , he took up with Dangerose , the wife of one of his vassals , and set aside his rightful wife , Philippa . This caused strain between father and son , until William married Aenor de Châtellerault , daughter of his father ' s mistress , in 1121 . He had three children with her : He possibly had one natural son , William . For a long time it was thought that he had another natural son called Joscelin and some biographies still erroneously state this fact , but Joscelin has now been shown to be the brother of Adeliza of Louvain . The attribution of Joscelin as a son of William X has been caused by a mistaken reading of the Pipe Rolls pertaining to the reign of Henry II , where ' brother of the queen ' has been taken as Queen Eleanor , when the queen in question is actually Adeliza of Louvain . William , called of Poitiers in the Pipe rolls may have been a half brother of Eleanor . Chronicler John of Salisbury tells us that Petronella died in 1151 or 1152 , after which her husband Raoul of Vermandois briefly remarried . William was both a lover of the arts and a warrior . He became involved in conflicts with Normandy ( which he raided in 1136 , in alliance with Geoffrey V , Count of Anjou who claimed it in his wife ' s name ) and France . Even inside his borders , William faced an alliance of the Lusignans and the Parthenays against him , an issue resolved with total destruction of the enemies . In international politics , William X initially supported antipope Anacletus II in the schism of 1130 , opposite to Pope Innocent II , against the will of his own bishops . In 1134 Saint Bernard of Clairvaux convinced William to drop his support to Anacletus and join Innocent . In 1137 William joined the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela , but died of suspected food poisoning during the trip . On his deathbed , he expressed his wish to see king Louis VI of France as protector of his fifteen - year - old daughter Eleanor , and to find her a suitable husband . Louis VI naturally accepted this guardianship and married the heiress of Aquitaine to his own son , Louis VII .

Warship Week Warship Weeks were British National savings campaigns during the Second World War , with the adoption of a Royal Navy warship by a civil community . A level of savings would be set to raise enough money to provide the cost of building a particular naval ship . The aim was for cities to raise enough to adopt battleship s and aircraft carrier s , while towns and villages would focus on cruiser s and destroyer s . Smaller towns and villages would be set a lower figure . Once the target money was saved for the ship , the community would adopt the ship and its crew . Local charity organisations , churches and schools would provide the crews of the adopted ship with gloves , woollen socks and balaclavas . Children would often write letters and send cards to the crew . When possible , officers and men from the adopted ship would visit the local community . To celebrate their visit , a parade would often be organised in their honour . During the early parts of the war , the Royal Navy not only had lost many capital ships but was facing increasing pressure to provide escorts to precious convoys in the Atlantic . While there was not a shortage of sailors , ships sunk by enemy action had to be replaced . Between 1941 and 1942 , the concept of National Savings was introduced by the British government . Each region in the country was provided with a savings target to achieve . This was based on the region ’ s population , with each general level of savings having a class of warship assigned . This became known as Warship Week , due to its similarities with War Weapons Week – which was a drive to replace the materiel lost at Dunkirk through a savings campaign . The ship ’ s commanding officer would exchange plaques , objects and photographs with the city or town that reached the target set , and an " adoption " would begin . The number of warships adopted was over 1200 , and this number included the battleships , cruisers , destroyers and trawlers . The total amount raised for the war effort was £955 , 611 , 589 . A community would sponsor a ship through individual savings in government bonds and national savings certificates . The campaigns were organised by the National War Savings Committee with the full support of the Admiralty . There were a total of 1 , 178 warship weeks organised during the campaign ’ s duration , involving a total of 1 , 273 districts . A press announcement quoted the adoption of eight battleships , four carriers , forty - nine cruisers , three hundred and one destroyers , twenty - five submarines , one hundred and sixty - four corvettes and frigates and two hundred and eighty - eight minesweepers . Other national war campaigns included the ' Wings For Victory ' Week to purchase bomber planes , a ' Spitfire Week ' to purchase fighter planes , a ' War Weapons Week ' and a ' Tanks For Attack ' Week .
Felixstowe F . 5 The Felixstowe F . 5 was a British First World War flying boat designed by Lieutenant Commander John Cyril Porte RN of the Seaplane Experimental Station , Felixstowe . Design and development . Porte had designed a better hull for the larger Curtiss H12 flying boat , giving the Felixstowe F . 2 a , which was greatly superior to the original Curtiss boat . This entered production and service as a patrol aircraft . In February 1917 , the first prototype of the Felixstowe F3 was flown . This was larger and heavier than the F2 , giving it greater range and a heavier bomb load , but poorer agility . The Felixstowe F5 was intended to combine the good qualities of the F2 and F3 , with the prototype first flying in May 1918 . The prototype showed superior qualities to its predecessors but the production version was modified to make extensive use of components from the F . 3 , in order to ease production , giving a lower performance than either the F . 2a or F . 3 . Operational history . The F5 did not enter service until after the end of the First World War , but replaced the earlier Felixstowe boats ( together with the Curtiss machines ) , to serve as the Royal Air Force ' s ( RAF ) standard flying boat until being replaced by the Supermarine Southampton in 1925 . In 1920 , the Canadian Air Board sponsored a project to conduct the first ever Trans - Canada flight to determine the feasibility of such flights for future air mail and passenger service . The leg from Rivière du Loup to Winnipeg was flown by Lieutenant Colonel Leckie and Major Hobbs in a Felixstowe F . 3 . Variants . Felixstowe F5L . US built version of F5 with two Liberty engine s numbers built : Short S . 2 . In 1924 the Air Ministry invited tenders for two hulls of modern design to suit the wings and tail surfaces of the F . 5 . Short Brothers submitted a proposal for an all - metal hull built of duralumin , then a largely untried and untrusted material . The aircraft was first flown on 5 January 1925 and delivered to the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment at Felixstowe on 14 March , where it was subjected to a series of strenuous tests , including dropping the aircraft onto the water by stalling it at a height of 30 ft ( 9 m ) : the aircraft withstood all trials , and after a year an inspection revealed only negligible corrosion . This succeeded in overcoming official resistance to the use of duralumin , and led to the order for the prototype Short Singapore . Gosport Flying Boat . One of the ten RAF aircraft built by the Gosport Aviation Company was civil registered as a " Gosport Flying Boat " in 1919 to appear at the First Air Traffic Exhibition at Amsterdam in August 1919 . Hiro H1H . ( Also called " Navy Type 15 " ) An improved Japanese version . The Hiro Naval Arsenal first licence - built the Felixstowe F . 5 for the Imperial Japanese Navy ( IJN ) , then produced their own variant , dubbed the H1H . The first version , " Navy Type 15 " was powered by either Lorraine W - 12 or BMW VII engines , " Type 15 - 1 " had a longer wing span , whilst the " Type 15 - 2 " had four - bladed propellers . It was retired in 1938 . United States - ( Post - war )
SM UC - 48 SM " UC - 48 " was a German Type UC II minelaying submarine or U - boat in the German Imperial Navy ( ) during World War I . The U - boat was ordered on 20 November 1915 , laid down on 1 February 1916 , and was launched on 27 September 1916 . She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 6 November 1916 as SM " UC - 48 " . In 13 patrols " UC - 48 " was credited with sinking 35 ships , either by torpedo or by mines laid . " UC - 48 " was severely damaged by a depth charge attack by on 20 March 1918 that ruptured the fuel tanks . Unable to return to Zeebrugge , the boat was steered to El Ferrol , Spain , where she and her crew were interned for the rest of the war . The Spanish authorities removed " UC - 48 " s propellers to prevent any attempts at leaving port .
