Garnier de Nablus Garnier de Nablus was the 10th Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller from 1190 to 1192 . He fought at the Battle of Arsuf under Richard the Lionheart during the Third Crusade . Battle of Arsuf . Richard had previously ordered no direct engagement with the enemy on the march to capture Jaffa . Situated at the rear of the military column , Garnier ' s Hospitallers were under heavy pressure by the Muslims . They were constantly harassed with arrows and small scale hit and run attacks in an attempt to disrupt and lure the crusader column into full battle . According to the 13th - century manuscript " Itinerarium Regis Ricardi " , Garnier was near breaking point and rode forward in person to try to persuade Richard to attack : My lord the king , we are violently pressed by the enemy , and are in danger of eternal infamy , as if we did not dare to return their blows ; we are each of us losing our horses one after another , and why should we bear with them any further ? He also asked that Richard relieve the pressure with a cavalry charge . Richard refused and replied , " Good Master , it is you who must sustain the attack ; no man can be everywhere at once . " When the pressure increased , the Grand Master and one other knight , Baldwin de Carreo , charged the Muslims . They were joined soon after by the rest of the Hospitaller force . Richard , seeing that his orders were already disobeyed , signaled for a full charge . This caught the enemy at a vulnerable moment , and their ranks were broken .

UK National Inventory of War Memorials The UK National Inventory of War Memorials ( UKNIWM ) was founded in 1989 to build a comprehensive record of every war memorial in the United Kingdom ( including England , Scotland , Wales , Northern Ireland ) . Plus the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands . Based at the Imperial War Museum in London , the project has so far recorded around 60 , 000 war memorials .

Air Surveillance Service There is officially no Air Force of Costa Rica , the only air wing in existence is attached to the Ministry of Public Security . Currently this unit , officially called Air Surveillance Service , does not operate armed military aircraft . The main air bases are located in three different points , San José ( Base 2 ) being the main operations center . The aircraft and helicopters used by this unit include a few Cessna 210 ' s & 206 ' s , Piper PA - 31T Cheyenne s & PA - 34 Seneca s and Hughes 500 ( 369E ) . More recently , partly due to a joint agreement with the U . S . , there have been successful operations on the war against drug trafficking mainly occurring in the coastal areas and at sea . Rescue operations , medical evacuation , and VIP transport services are part of daily missions . The prefix for most aircraft is MSP followed by a serial number . As a result of the many operations against drug trafficking , a number of aircraft have been added to the asset list by means of confiscation . The U .
