Battle of Pace ' s Ferry The Battle of Pace ' s Ferry was an engagement fought on July 5 , 1864 , near Pace ' s Ferry , Atlanta , Georgia , during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War . Union troops of Maj . Gen . Oliver O . Howard seized a key pontoon bridge over the Chattahoochee River , enabling Federal troops to continue their offensive to capture the important rail and supply center of Atlanta . William T . Sherman ' s army had steadily advanced towards Atlanta in the spring and summer of 1864 , fighting a series of battles against the Confederate Army of Joseph E . Johnston . Sherman continually flanked the Confederate positions and slipped ever closer to his goal . Howard ' s IV Corps pursued the retreating Confederates along the Western & Atlantic Railroad , with General Thomas J . Wood ' s division in the lead . They encountered very little resistance until the head of column reached Vining ' s Station . From that point , a road led to the east toward Atlanta , crossing the Chattahoochee River at Pace ' s Ferry , where the Confederates had constructed a pontoon bridge over the deep and swift flowing river . Wood ' s skirmishers encountered a brigade of dismounted cavalry , which had its front covered by rail barricades along a ridge at right angles to the road , a quarter mile from the railroad station . Wood quickly drove the Confederates from these barricades and pushed on to the river . Despite Confederate efforts to destroy the bridge to prevent it from falling into enemy hands , Wood ' s men arrived in time to save the greater part of the bridge . Confederate attempts to burn the structure had failed , and mooring ropes had been cut on the Confederate side so that the pontoon bridge drifted in the river . Not seeing a suitable opportunity to attack the strong Confederate positions across the Chattahoochee , Howard ordered his corps into camp on high ground facing the river and awaited the arrival of Federal pontoons . When they arrived on July 8 , he crossed the river and outflanked the Pace ' s Ferry defenders , forcing them to withdraw .

The Soldier ( poem ) " The Soldier " is a poem written by Rupert Brooke . The poem is the fifth of a series of poems entitled " 1914 " . It is often contrasted with Wilfred Owen ' s 1917 antiwar poem " Dulce Et Decorum Est " . The manuscript is located at King ' s College , Cambridge . Thomas Hardy has written the famous poem " Drummer Hodge " which is perhaps the fiercest and most direct polemic against Brooke ' s work . References to " The Soldier " . Lyrics by Roger Waters ' " The Gunner ' s Dream " ( from the Pink Floyd ' s album " The Final Cut " ) make reference to " The Soldier " . Implicit references to this poem ( and several others ) are made in Muse ' s song " Soldier ' s Poem " from their album " Black Holes & Revelations " . Analysis of poem . This poem was written at the beginning of the First World War in 1914 , as part of a series of sonnets written by Rupert Brooke . Brooke himself , predominantly a prewar poet , died the year after “ The Soldier ” was published . “ The Soldier ” , being the conclusion and the finale to Brooke ’ s ‘ 1914 ’ war sonnet series , deals with the death and accomplishments of a soldier . Written with fourteen lines in a Petrarchan / Italian sonnet form , the poem is divided into an opening octet , and then followed by a concluding sestet . As far as rhyme scheme , the octet is rhymed after the Shakespearean / Elizabethan ( abab cdcd ) form , while the sestet follows the Petrarchan / Italian ( efg efg ) form . The volta , the shift or point of dramatic change , occurs after the fourth line where Brooke goes from describing the death of the soldier , to his life accomplishments . This sonnet encompasses the memoirs of a deceased soldier who declares his patriotism to his homeland by declaring that his sacrifice will be the eternal ownership of England of a small portion of land upon which he died . The poem appears to not follow the normal purpose of a Petrarchan / Italian sonnet either . It does not truly go into detail about a predicament / resolution , as is customary with this form ; rather , the atmosphere remains constantly in the blissful state of the English soldier .
HMS Lancaster ( F229 ) HMS " Lancaster " is a ' Duke ' class Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy . She is known as " The Queen ' s Frigate " , the Duke of Lancaster being an honorary title of the Sovereign . She is also known as The Red Rose Frigate , after the emblem of Lancashire . Being the third ship in the Type 23 class , " Lancaster " was originally allocated the pennant number F232 until it was realised that the 232 is the Royal Navy report form for groundings and collisions and therefore considered unlucky . She is one of the few " stag ships " left in the fleet , she has some female officers but the mess decks are men - only . It is quite common when she has returned from long operations that she is flown over by one of the only two remaining airworthy Avro Lancaster bombers part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight based at RAF Coningsby . Operational history . " Lancaster " has been involved in anti - drug operations in the Caribbean , but also delivered Vice Admiral Adrian Johns in 2009 to his new post as Governor of Gibraltar . In February 2010 " Lancaster " was deployed in waters off the Horn of Africa as part of Combined Task Force 150 , tackling piracy , drug - running , people trafficking , arms smuggling , and other criminal and terrorist threats . In September 2010 " Lancaster " began a major refit at Portsmouth ; she will return to sea in early 2012 but is not due on active service until Spring 2013 . The £17 . 9m contract covers upgrades to communications , the Sea Wolf and command systems , the installation of a 30mm remote - operated gun and a transom flap . Both shafts were replaced , four refurbished diesel generators installed and new paint applied to the hull . The accommodation , galley and dining halls were all refurbished at the same time . Half the crew returned to the ship in October 2011 , under the command of Lt Cdr Charlie Guy until Cdr Steve Moorhouse takes over in November 2011 . Although the top speed of the Duke class is commonly quoted as , the caption of an official Navy photo suggests that " Lancaster " was capable of even before her mid - life refit ; the transom flap can add up to to the top speed of a Type 23 , and the Intersleek anti - fouling paint added to the top speed of " Ark Royal " . In July to August 2013 , she is on a counter - narcotics mission in the Caribbean , seizing a massive 680 kg stash of cocaine with an estimated street value of £100 million after sailors boarded a speedboat near Puerto Rico .

After ordering the other boats to form a defensive line around the disabled craft , Kelley maneuvered his own boat to the front , between his men and the enemy , and engaged the hostile force . He received a severe head wound when a rocket struck near him , penetrating the boat ' s armor and spraying shrapnel in all directions . Although unable to stand or speak clearly , he continued to relay directions to the convoy , with the help of one of his sailors , until the crippled boat was repaired and the group was able to move out . Kelley survived his wounds and was subsequently promoted to lieutenant commander and awarded the Medal of Honor . Despite the loss of one eye during this action , he requested to remain on active duty , and eventually retired with the rank of captain in 1990 .

References to days ( or hours ) preceding or following a designated day ( or hour ) use a plus or minus sign and an Arabic numeral following the letter . For example , " D−3 " is 3 days prior to D - day , " C + 7 " is 7 days after C - day , " H−2 " is 2 hours before H - hour , and so forth . In less formal contexts , the time is usually spelled out , so that " D−3 " becomes " D minus three " or " D minus 3 " .

Finance Corps The United States Army Finance Corps is a combat service support ( CSS ) branch of the United States Army . The Finance Corps is the successor to the old Pay Department , which was created in June 1775 . The Finance Department was created by law on 1 July 1920 . It became the Finance Corps in 1950 . It is responsible for financial operations , most notably payroll and contracting . It is the smallest branch of the army . Finance Corps units . Corps - level financial management formations exist in Europe , South Korea , and at Fort Bragg , North Carolina , and at Fort Hood , Texas . The 18th Financial Management Support Center ( 18 FMSC ) provides financial management services to the units of the [ XVIII Airborne Corps ] . It is based at Fort Bragg ( North Carolina ) and it ' s higher head quarters ( HQ ) is the 1st Theater Sustainment Command ( 1st TSC ) Fort Bragg , NC . The 18th FMSC is responsible for the 24th Financial Management Company ( FMCO ) , the 33rd FMCO , the 82nd FMCO , the 101st FMCO , and the 126th FMCO . The mission of the 18th Financial Management Center is : In early 1998 the Commanding General of United States Army Forces Command approved a request from the CG , XVIII Airborne Corps to combine the 18th Finance Group and the 18th Personnel Group ( Airborne ) ; to establish a provisional 18th Soldier Support Group ( 18th SSG ) at Ft . Hood ; to form SSBs at Forts Stewart , Drum and Campbell ; and , to combine the two remaining Finance Battalions at Ft . Bragg . The General Officer Steering Committee ( GOSC ) did not support the XVIII consolidations as proposed . This decision was made without the benefit of the TRADOC force development process which was Phase 2 of the Service to the Soldier Study . It was not a foregone conclusion that SSBs and SSGs would be implemented Army - Wide . FORSCOM and XVIII Airborne Corps were forging ahead of the Soldier Support Institute study as it was expedient to do so due to the impending force reductions . Other higher finance formations include :
