USS Camanche ( 1864 ) USS " Camanche " was a " Passaic " - class monitor that was prefabricated at Jersey City , N . J . by Secor Brothers . She was disassembled and shipped around Cape Horn in the sailing ship " Aquila " to San Francisco , Calif . , where " Aquila " sank on 14 November 1863 . The monitor ' s parts were salvaged and she was launched on 14 November 1864 . " Camanche " was commissioned in May 1865 , Lieutenant Commander C . J . McDougal in command . Commissioned just after the end of the Civil War , for more than a year — until the arrival of the larger monitor — " Camanche " was the only U . S . ironclad on the $ 3 coast , and she was one of but two stationed there for nearly 25 years . " Camanche " s career was a quiet one , with the ship generally maintained in decommissioned status at the Mare Island Navy Yard , in northern San Francisco Bay . She was the California Naval Militia ' s training ship in 1896 – 97 and appears to have been reactivated for a few months in 1898 , during the Spanish - American War , for coastal defense purposes . " Camanche " was sold on 22 March 1899 , but photographic evidence indicates that she remained in the San Francisco area for several years after that . According to page 10 of the San Francisco Call dated November 20 , 1899 , the Camanche had her machinery , her weapons and her armor removed by the Union Iron Works in Oakland and she was converted into a collier , hauling coal . Her first voyage as a collier occurred on November 19 , 1899 .
Type 72 non - metallic anti - tank mine Type 72 Non - Metallic is a Chinese circular , plastic bodied landmine which is designed to damage or destroy a vehicle by blast effect . Mechanism . The mine has a slightly domed pressure plate made from flexible plastic with a raised 6 spoke wagon wheel pattern on top . Type 72 has a telescopic carrying handle molded into the bottom of the mine and a large diameter filler plug on the side just above the handle position . The mine has a crimp around the top edge where the mine body meets the pressure plate . The mine contains 5 . 4 kg of 50 : 50 RDX / TNT and is actuated when pressure of 300 kg deforms the flexible plastic pressure plate long enough to release the cocked striker fuze . When the pressure plate is moved approximately 9 mm downwards it exerts pressure on the fuze . If fuzed with the T - 72 clear plastic - cased blast resistant fuze , pressure on the top of the fuze will depress the casing which will revolve due to the depression of the spring which is attached to the casing . The revolution is controlled by lugs on the inner fuze assembly which fit in grooves in the fuze casing . When the fuze casing is revolved and depressed sufficiently , the two retaining balls to will fall away in groove in the outer casing , which releases the striker . The striker is driven down by the spring , initiating the detonator , which in turn initiates the booster and the main charge . The mine is blast resistant resistant since rapid depression of the fuze will push the fuze casing straight down without any revolution . The lugs on the inner fuze assembly will then slide into vertical groves instead of the diagonal ones . The striker retaining balls will then be prevented from coming in line with the groves in the outer casing and the striker will not be released . Instead the pressure plate will bounce back into its original position . Similar Landmines . Two similar plastic bodied AT mines manufactured in China are the Type 69 and the Type 81 , although it is entirely possible that there is no difference between the Type 69 , Type 72 and Type 81 mines other than their fuzes . The basic descriptions ( dimensions , weights , appearance , colour ) for Type 69 and Type 81 mines match the Type 72 very closely . The fuzes are all blast resistant and the mine name may only vary depending on the fuze used . Because of the its low metal content , the Type 72 cannot be located using metal detector s under most field conditions . The Type 72 is resistant to shock and overpressure from explosive breaching systems such as the Giant Viper and MICLIC . A copy of the mine , the YM - III ( sometimes YM - 3 ) , is produced in Iran . It is slightly heavier at 7 kg , with a slightly heavier 5 . 7 kg Composition B main charge , with a slightly higher activation pressure of 450 to 900 kg . Additionally , a copy is produced in South Africa as " Non - metallic anti - tank mine " .
883d Bombardment Squadron The 883d Bombardment Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit . It was last assigned to the 500th Bombardment Group . It was inactivated at March Field , California on 12 November 1945 . History . Activated in November 1943 as one of the initial B - 29 Superfortress Very Heavy bombardment squadrons . Trained in Kansas with early model B - 29s , with frequent delays in training due to modifications of the aircraft correcting production deficiencies . When training was completed moved to Isely Field , Saipan , in the Mariana Islands of the Central Pacific Area in January 1945 and assigned to XXI Bomber Command , Twentieth Air Force . It ' s mission was the strategic bombardment of the Japanese Home Islands and the destruction of its war - making capability . Flew " shakedown " missions against Japanese targets on Moen Island , Truk , and other points in the Carolines and Marianas . The squadron conducted combat missions over Japan participating in wide area firebombing attacks , but the first ten day blitz resulting in the Army Air Forces running out of incendiary bombs . Until then the squadron flew conventional strategic bombing missions using high explosive bombs . The squadron continued attacking urban areas with incendiary raids until the end of the war in August 1945 , attacking major Japanese cities , causing massive destruction of urbanized areas . Also conducted raids against strategic objectives , bombing aircraft factories , chemical plants , oil refineries , and other targets in Japan . The squadron flew its last combat missions on 14 August when hostilities ended . Afterwards , its B 29s carried relief supplies to Allied prisoner of war camps in Japan and Manchuria . Squadron was largely de - mobilized on Saipan during the fall of 1945 . Was reorganized as part of continental Air Forces , Fourth Air Force at March Field , California in November 1945 , being manned and equipped with low - hour B - 29s returned from the Central Pacific . It later was transferred to the new Strategic Air Command on 21 March 1946 , being one of SAC ' s initial bombardment squadrons . Demobilization , however , was in full swing and the unit turned in its aircraft and was inactivated on 31 March 1946 .

Clark Robinson Griggs Clark Robinson Griggs ( March 6 , 1824 – December 7 , 1915 ) was a member of the Illinois House of Representatives and mayor of Urbana , Illinois . Griggs previously served two terms in the Massachusetts House of Representatives before moving to Champaign County , Illinois in 1859 . He also enlisted and served as a sutler in the Union Army during the American Civil War . Griggs was extremely influential in the decision to locate the Illinois Industrial University , which would later become the University of Illinois , in Champaign - Urbana . He started with $ 40 , 000 appropriated by the Supervisors of Champaign and Urbana Townships and traveled throughout Illinois meeting with elected officials . In a period of five weeks , he had met with 40 Members of the Illinois House , 15 of which pledged their support . Griggs then met with the Governor , Lieutenant Governor , and the Chairmen of the state Democratic and Republican parties . For a period of 3 months after the General Assembly went into session in 1867 Griggs maintained a reception room and suite of parlors and bedrooms at the Leland Hotel in Springfield , where legislators and their constituents were entertained with drinks , light refreshments , or dinners of oyster or quail . Legislators were also supplied with cigars and theater tickets . Griggs further arranged for a special train to take legislators to Champaign - Urbana late in the session . He then ran for Speaker ; and after a two - day period of repeated voting , he agreed to drop out of the race in exchange for the Chairmanship of the Committee on Agriculture and Mechanic Arts , the committee that would hear all bills regarding the location of the university , and the right to choose the committee ' s members . Griggs called the committee to order several times , while privately telling the members not to attend ; and when asked why legislation regarding the location of the university was not being heard in the committee , Griggs replied that he had called the committee to order but had been unable to achieve a quorum . Legislation eventually reached the House floor naming Champaign as the site of the new university . Separate motions were made to amend the bill , the first substituting Jacksonville , the second Normal , and the third Lincoln . ( Illinois State Normal University , which was nationally admired and would later become Illinois State University , had already been established in Normal 10 years prior — in 1857 . ) All three motions to amend failed , the measure was approved by the House and Senate ; and Governor Richard James Oglesby signed the bill into law three days later .
Oflag II - D Oflag II - D was a World War II German prisoner - of - war camp located at Gross Born , Pomerania ( now Borne Sulinowo , West Pomeranian Voivodeship , Poland ) . In the late 1930s the German Army built a large base and training ground at which the XIX Army Corps of General Heinz Guderian was based . Camp history . In September 1939 two Stalag s , Stalag 302 and Stalag 323 were established to house Polish prisoners from the German September 1939 offensive . The Polish POWs were transferred to other camps on 1 June 1940 and Oflag II - D was established to house French officer s from the Battle of France . By February 1941 there were 3 , 166 officers and 565 orderlies in the camp . In 1942 the French officers were transferred to other camps and replaced with Polish officers . In 1942 a large camp Stalag 323 ? was built for Soviet prisoners , it was located at the other end of the training ground . Conditions in this camp were deplorable , as the rules of the Third Geneva Convention were not observed for Soviet prisoners . In October 1944 most of the officers from the Warsaw Uprising were brought to this camp . The roster of 1 January 1945 showed that there were 5 , 014 officers and 377 orderlies in the camp . In November 1944 the officers created a bank which printed banknotes . Evacuation and repatriation . When the offensive of the Soviet Red Army resumed in 1945 , all inmates were marched westward on 28 January 1945 . Only those too sick to walk were left behind . After an eight - week march in bitterly cold weather they reached Stalag X - B and Marlag und Milag Nord in Sandbostel . The prisoners were liberated there by units of the British Army on 5 May 1945 . Aftermath . A memorial to the French and Polish officers who died in Oflag II - D was erected at the site of the camp in the late 1990s .

Kulbir Thapa Kulbir Thapa ( Magar ) VC ( 1889 – 3 October 1956 ) was a first Nepalese recipient of the Victoria Cross , the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces . Biography . Born on 15 December 1889 in Palpa , Nepal to Haria Gulte . Thapa was a 26 year - old Rifleman in the 2nd Battalion , 3rd Queen Alexandra ' s Own Gurkha Rifles , British Indian Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross . On 25 September 1915 in Fauquissart , France Rifleman Kulbir Thapa , having been wounded himself , found a wounded soldier of The Leicestershire Regiment behind the first - line German trench . Although urged to save himself , the Gurkha stayed with the wounded man all day and night . Early next day , in misty weather , he dragged him through the German wire , within spitting distance from the Germans , and , leaving him in a place of comparative safety , returned and brought in two wounded Gurkhas , one after the other . He then went back , and , in broad daylight , fetched the British soldier , carrying him most of the way under enemy fire . Such an incredible act of faith and courage had by now attracted a good deal of attention , and when he emerged from his trench for the third time with one more wounded comrade over his shoulder , the German soldiers actually clapped their hands to encourage the Gurkha on . Only this time , the Gurkha walked right across the No - Mans - Land back to his own side . The German High Command , it is believed , in recognition of that exemplary courage and self - sacrifice , wrote a citation offering to honour the anonymous Gurkha . The British Army would of course , have nothing to do with German sentiments , but when the story reached London by words of mouth , His Majesty King George V expressed a desire to see the Gurkha soldier himself in person . Accordingly , in due course of time , the Gurkha was ushered into the Buckingham Palace , where , in a rare expression of royal prerogative , the King Emperor personally decorated Rifleman Kulbir Thapa with Britain ' s highest military honour , the Victoria Cross . Further information . He later achieved the rank of Havildar . The medal . His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Gurkha Museum " ( Winchester , Hampshire , England ) " .
Saint Chamond - Mondragón The Saint Chamond - Mondragón 75mm gun was specified in the 1890s by Mexican General Manuel Mondragón , designed mostly by colonel Rimailho and produced by the French arms manufacturer " St Chamond " . It was widely used by different forces during the Mexican Revolution . It was also used in modified form to arm most of the French Saint Chamond tanks deployed during the First World War . Israel purchased a number of pieces from Mexico in 1948 and used them in the 1948 Arab – Israeli War . Because of its Mexican origin , the gun was known in Israel as Cucaracha . Three surviving pieces are on display in Israeli museums : two in the Israel Defense Forces History Museum in Tel Aviv , and one in Beyt ha - Gdudim museum in moshav Avihayil .
