Battle of Catraeth The Battle of Catraeth was fought around AD 600 between a force raised by the Gododdin , a Brythonic people of the " Hen Ogledd " or " Old North " of Britain , and the Angles of Bernicia and Deira . It was evidently an assault by the Gododdin party on the Angle stronghold of Catraeth , perhaps Catterick , North Yorkshire . The Gododdin force was said to have consisted of warriors from all over the Hen Ogledd , and even some from as far afield as Gwynedd in North Wales and Pictland . The battle was disastrous for the Britons , who were nearly all killed . The slain warriors were commemorated in the important early poem " Y Gododdin " , attributed to Aneirin . Battle . In his " Canu Aneirin " Ifor Williams interpreted " mynydawc mwynvawr " in the text of " Y Gododdin " to refer to a person , Mynyddog Mwynfawr in modern Welsh . Mynyddog , in Williams ' reading , was the king of the Gododdin , with his chief seat at " Din Eidyn " ( modern Edinburgh ) . Around the year 600 Mynyddog gathered about 300 selected warriors from across the Brythonic world . He feasted them at Din Eidyn for a year , then launched an attack on " Catraeth " , which Williams agrees with Thomas Stephens in identifying as Catterick in North Yorkshire , which was in Anglo - Saxon hands . They were opposed by a larger army from the Anglo - Saxon kingdoms of Deira and Bernicia . In early historical times , this part of northern England and southern Scotland was the territory of the Votadini , the ancestors of the later Gododdin . By 600 the Angles had formed the important kingdoms of Deira and Bernicia , which were possibly originally ruled by Britons . As such the Battle of Catraeth may have been an attempt to push back Anglo - Saxon expansion . At some time after the battle , the Angles absorbed the Gododdin kingdom and incorporated its territory into the kingdom of Northumbria . This interpretation has been accepted by most modern scholars . Kenneth H . Jackson accepts the interpretation but suggests that a force of 300 men would be much too small to undertake the task demanded of them . He considers that the 300 mounted warriors would have been accompanied by a larger number of foot soldiers , not considered worthy of mention in the poem . A . O . H . Jarman also follows Williams ' interpretation . Historical fiction . The Battle of Catraeth has appeared in some modern works of fiction . John James used " Y Gododdin " as the basis for his novel " Men went to Cattraeth " , originally published 1969 . Rosemary Sutcliff ' s young adult novel " The Shining Company " ( 1990 ) tells the story of the Battle of Catraeth from the viewpoint of Prosper , shieldbearer to one of King Mynydogg ' s Gododdin warriors . Richard J Denning ' s 2010 novel , " The Amber Treasure " tells the story of the Battle of Catreath from the point of view of a young Anglo Saxon youth , Cerdic .

Telnyashka A telnyashka ( ) is a dark color and white striped , sleeveless or not , undershirt , which is an iconic uniform of the Russian Navy , the Russian Airborne Troops ( VDV ) and the Russian Naval Infantry ( marines ) , initially by Soviet predecessors of these troops . It has been a symbol of great military pride for those who wear it gradually becoming a broader symbol of masculinity and self - confidence . Technical details . The official uniforms of mentioned troops include no shirts and a specially crafted jacket thus making telnyashkas a visible part of it ( not just underwear ) . Telnyashkas are also available to civilian customers and may come in a variety of knittings . Single thread knitting is the standard military - issue variant , but double and quadruple knittings for increased warmth can be produced . A quadruple telnyashka is enough to keep a person warm with nothing else on even at 5 °C , as it was originally developed for military divers to be worn under a dry suit . History . Telnyashkas come from a practice that originated in the merchants and fishermen of Brittany , who adopted the style to distinguish them from other nationalities at a distance , later adopted and popularized by the French Navy and other navies of the " pre - Dreadnought " era . These continued in use for some time . The tradition of Russian / Soviet ground troops wearing a naval uniform comes from Soviet Navy sailors who fought on the ground while under siege during World War II . It is exemplified by the famed Soviet sniper Vassili Zaitsev . Zaitsev was a petty officer in the Soviet Pacific Fleet who volunteered for army duty , but , despite transfer , he refused to give up his Navy telnyashka because of the pride it engendered . , who was later to modernise the Soviet airborne forces , had previously served with a Naval Infantry unit in World War II , and procured telnyashkas for the VDV as a mark of their elite status . In other countries . Bulgarian 68 - th Special Forces Brigade have telnyashka as part of their uniform . Troops ' colors . Telnyashkas with stripes of certain dark color are traditionally the marks of particular troops , for example : Popular culture . Soviet 1936 silent propaganda film " " started aesthetization of telnyaskha with the scene of Bolshevik sailor emerging from the sea in his torn undershirt after he survived execution by drowning . Telnyashka has become such evident symbol of masculinity in Soviet culture , that it is sported by dozens of popular non - military characters of the cinema and even children ' cartoons , notably The Wolf in the " Nu , pogodi " and Matroskin the Cat in the " Troe iz Prostokvashino " . There is a popular saying that ironically presents telnyashkas as an attribute of " real men " : " We are few in number , but we wear telnyashkas ! " ( ) .
