Yamanaka Yukimori , also known as Yamanaka Shikanosuke ( 山中 鹿の介 ) or Shikasuke ( 鹿の介 ) , was a Japan ese samurai of the Sengoku period . He served the Amako clan of Izumo Province . In art , his portraits conventionally show a crescent moon on the front of his helmet , but he was in fact born under a harvest moon . The crescent moon ornament he wore on his helmet was a token of good luck . Warrior career . Yukimori supported the cause of Amako Katsuhisa ( 1553 - 1578 ) , including the Siege of Kōzuki Castle . He even tried to get help from the Oda clan . Unfortunately Oda Nobunaga only used him so the Oda army can march deeper into Mōri ' s lands . Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi wanted to gave him reinforcements but Nobunaga refused . Those two generals then forced to concentrate in sieging Mōri and Ukita castles than helping Yukimori . Eventually Yukimori surrendered and his master Katsuhisa committed suicide . Kikkawa Motoharu awarded him with a small castle in Suo . When on the way to the castle , Yukimori was captured and attacked by the soldiers of Mōri clan .

Siege of Noda Castle The took place from January to February 1573 , between the forces of the Takeda clan , led by the noted warlord Takeda Shingen , against the Tokugawa clan , led by Tokugawa Ieyasu . Along with the Battle of Mikatagahara it was one of the final battles in Takeda Shingen ' s long career . Background . Encouraged by his victory over the Tokugawa at the Battle of Mikatagahara in neighboring Tōtōmi Province , Takeda Shingen decided to push farther into Mikawa Province , hopefully opening a route to the capital , Kyoto . Leading a mixed cavalry and infantry force of 30 , 000 men , Shingen skirted the northern shore of Lake Hamana before advancing inland into Mikawa . His route was opposed by approximately 500 defenders of Noda Castle , situated on the Toyokawa river , commanded by Suganuma Sadamichi . Shingen was confident in his strength of numbers , and in his knowledge that the Tokugawa forces were overextended in various campaigns . Furthermore , his forces had taken Noda Castle with ease during a reconnaissance - in - force two years earlier . The battle . Suganuma had extensively increased the defensive capabilities of Noda Castle over the past two years with additional earthenworks and a wooden palisade . However , Shingen ' s " kanabori - shū " ( sapper corps , composed of troops with gold mining experience ) tunneled into the castle moat , draining it and depriving the defenders of their drinking water as well as their primary defense . Shingen extended an offer to spare the lives of the rank - and - file troops provided that Suganuma surrender on February 16 . Though the castle ' s surrender was now imminent , Shingen let his guard down when he approached the castle , and a sniper shot him . Aftermath . Following the surrender of Noda Castle , Tokugawa forces were in retreat throughout Mikawa , and even Tokugawa Ieyasu ’ s stronghold of Okazaki Castle was threatened . However , Takeda Shingen died in March 1573 ( whether from illness or from the wound sustained at the Battle of Noda Castle ) , and his forces were unable to maintain their momentum under his successor , Takeda Katsuyori .
USS Callao ( IX - 205 ) USS " Callao " ( IX - 205 ) , an unclassified miscellaneous vessel , was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Callao , a seaport in Peru . She was built in 1943 and 1944 by P . Smit , Jr . Shipyard , in Rotterdam , the Netherlands , as " Externsteine " for the Kriegsmarine . The ship was originally named for the unusual Externsteine rock formation investigated by Heinrich Himmler for evidence of cultural significance to early Teutonic folklore and history . " Externsteine " was employed as a weather observation ship off Shannon Island on the northeast coast of Greenland to aid forecasting of storm events tactically significant to North Atlantic and European combat operations , but was captured on the night of 15 October – 16 October 1944 by USCGC " Eastwind " . Patrolling aircraft spotted " Externsteine " camouflaged in a field of unconsolidated pack ice . The Coast Guard icebreaker opened a lead through the ice under cover of darkness . At a range of 4000 yards , the icebreaker fired three salvos from its 5 " / 38 gun s ( one short , one over and one across the bow ) before closing to hailing range and demanding surrender . At the time , it was the northernmost combat operation ever undertaken by United States forces . The United States Coast Guard prize crew brought her into Boston , Massachusetts , by way of Reykjavík and NS Argentia , Newfoundland . There she was commissioned into the United States Navy on 24 January 1945 with Lieutenant D . O . Newton , USNR , in command . Between 30 January 1945 and 4 February she was outfitted at Philadelphia Navy Yard for special experimental work for the Bureau of Ships , and for the next five years carried out tests in the area of Cape May , New Jersey , and Cape Henlopen , Delaware . She was decommissioned on 10 May 1950 , and sold 30 September 1950 .
Battle of Konary The battle of Konary took place during the Great War , in May and June 1915 in the Sandomierz Uplands , near the town of Klimontów , Poland , between the Russian Army and the forces of Józef Piłsudski ' s Polish Legions . The battle started on May 16 , when the Russian 4th Army started its counter - offensive against the Central Powers in the Kingdom of Poland . The offensive was directed against the wing of the Austrian 25th Infantry Division in the area of Opatów and Klimontów . The Polish 1st Brigade was used as a stop - gap measure and held out until June 23 , when the Russian offensive was finally repelled . Both sides suffered heavy losses .
Coomalie Creek Airfield Coomalie Creek Airfield was a Royal Australian Air Force ( RAAF ) airfield built in 1942 near Coomalie Creek , Northern Territory , Australia during World War II . History . The airfield was operated by No . 54 Operational Base Unit . The first unit to arrive was No . 31 Squadron , equipped with Bristol Beaufighter s , in November 1942 . No . 1 Photo Reconnaissance Unit ( 1PRU ) arrived at the airfield in 1943 equipped with P - 38 Lightning s , de Havilland Mosquito s and CAC Wirraway s . 1PRU was re - designated No . 87 Squadron RAAF on 10 September 1944 . In November 1944 , three Dakotas from No . 34 Squadron were detached to the airfield , prior to staging north of Australia . No . 87 Squadron launched the last Australia - based operational RAAF mission of World War II from Coomalie Creek . The airfield was abandoned after World War II and is now in private ownership . Part of Leg 9 of " The Amazing Race 9 " was conducted at Coomalie Creek Airfield .
Vickers Vireo The Vickers Vireo was an experimental low wing all - metal monoplane built to explore both all - metal service aircraft and the use of catapult launched ship board fighters . Only one was built . Development . The Vickers - Wibault construction method was based on the patents of Michel Wibault , who began working with Vickers in 1922 . It was a way of producing an all - metal aircraft with an airframe built up from simple , non - machined metal shapes , covered by very thin ( 0 . 4 mm or 0 . 016 in ) corrugated light alloy sheets . On the wings the corrugations were aligned along the chord and longitudinally on he fuselage . The resulting fuselage was not a monocoque , but was internally braced , and the skin on the wings was not stressed . Panels were riveted to each other and to the underlying structure . Vickers first experience of the method was with the licence built Wibault Scout . The first Vickers design using this construction was the Vireo . The Vireo ( named after a Latin word thought to mean Greenfinch ) was built to Air Ministry specification 17 / 25 , intended to evaluate both all - metal aircraft and low powered , catapult launched , carrier borne fighters . It was a low - winged single - engined monoplane of rather angular appearance with a flat - sided , deep fuselage except immediately aft of the engine . Forward of the overwing open cockpit the nose fell away , giving it a slightly humped look . The flying surfaces were all without external bracing ; the wing was tapered , of deep section and incorporated twin machine guns . The horizontal stabilser had a straight leading edge but tapered at the rear . There was a square topped , balanced rudder but no fin . The Vireo was powered by an uncowled 230 hp ( 170 kW ) Armstrong Siddeley Lynx IV radial engine driving a two - bladed propeller . The specification called for the fitting of either wheels or floats and both were used , though the Vireo took its Ministry tests as a landplane . These tests began at RAF Martlesham Heath a month after the initial flights in March 1928 . The long gap between the tender submission in December 1925 and the first flight was partly because the novel structure had undergone structural and aerodynamic pre - flight tests at the Royal Aircraft Establishment . There were a few minor incidents during the tests , but more serious was a tendency to drop heavily at touchdown , which led to some rear fuselage damage . This was later attributed to root interference of the highly cambered wing leading to nasty stall characteristics . Nevertheless , by July the Vireo was on board for deck landing trials . The Air Ministry ' s interest in low - powered on - board fighters , catapult - launched to compensate for their small engines , waned when the Vireo proved no faster than the conventional ship board aircraft like the Fairey IIIF . The Vireo experience gave Vickers enough confidence in all - metal fighters to proceed with their later Jockey and Venom designs .
Battle of Focchies The naval Battle of Focchies took place on 12 May 1649 , during the Cretan War , off Focchies , near Smyrna in western Turkey , when a Venetian fleet of 19 ships , under Giacomo Riva , defeated an Ottoman fleet of 11 ships , 10 galleass es ( mahons ) and 72 galley s . Prelude . A Venetian fleet had been blockading the Dardanelles Straits since about April 1648 . On 19 November , most of the fleet withdrew , leaving 13 sailing ships , under Riva . In Spring 1649 he was joined by Bertucci Civrano with seven more , making 19 as he had lost one . Early in May , the Ottoman fleet appeared from Istanbul . Only two of Riva ' s ships attacked them , and the Turks made it out of the Strait and headed south . Riva followed and caught them at the port of Focchies , on the mainland . Many of the Venetian ships were hired Dutch or English vessels , and Riva had to promise to compensate their captains for any damage . Battle . When it became apparent that the Venetians were going to attack , the 10 galleasses covered the entrance to the port , with the galleys further in . One Ottoman sailing ship was captured by " Mercante Diletto " and " Jupiter " , one galleass by " James " ( Captain George Scot ) , which was so damaged it sank ten days later , and one galley was brought off by her own slaves . Nine sailing ships , three galleasses and two galleys were burnt before the wind changed , preventing the fire from spreading to other Ottoman ships and causing the Venetians to withdraw as the burning ships were blown toward them . Three Venetian ships didn ' t fight : " Esperienza " which kept out to sea , and " Francese " and " San Bartolamio " ( Captain Alardi ) , which were abandoned by their crews . " San Bartolamio " was recovered by " Tre Re " but " Francese " ran ashore and was burnt by the Turks . The Venetians suffered 105 casualties . The Turks lost nine ships , three galleasses and two galleys burnt , while one of each type was captured . Order of battle . Venice ( Giacomo Riva ) .

Daniel Rantzau Daniel Rantzau ( 1529 – 11 November 1569 ) was a Danish - German general who was known for his leadership in the Northern Seven Years ' War . A distant relative of Johan Rantzau , Daniel Rantzau was raised in Holstein , and received a solid academic education but preferred a military career . For some years , he fought in Germany and Italy , and also took part in the Danish conquest of Dithmarschen in 1559 . Rantzau also seems to have been a clear pro - war spokesman before the outbreak of the Northern Seven Years ' War with Sweden in 1563 . The Northern Seven Years ' War . At the start of this war , Rantzau was a sub - commander with the rank of colonel but he distinguished himself in some minor struggles during the first fruitless years . In 1565 , he was promoted to commander - in - chief , but his position was weak at the start due to a lack of results on the battlefield . In December of the same year , however , Rantzau defeated the Swedish army at Axtorna , an event which strengthened his position . During the following years , he successfully ravaged Swedish areas and established himself as the most able Danish military leader in spite of the lack of a breakthrough . However , a standing conflict about the pay of the soldiers created serious friction between the Danish noble officers and Peder Oxe , the Steward of the Realm . From 1567 to 1568 , Rantzau carried off what is still considered his main military exploit , his " " Winter Campaign " " through Sweden . During the campaign , he defeated some minor Swedish armies and after having given up an attack on Stockholm , saved his whole army during a risky but successful retreat . The campaign had no real military results but shook the Swedish defense . In November 1569 , during an attack on Swedish - occupied Scandinavian castle of Varberg , Rantzau was killed by a cannonball that crushed his head ( or so legend holds ) . Legacy . Today , although quite overshadowed by his relative Johan Rantzau in public memory , Daniel Rantzau is considered the more brilliant tactician of the two . Military historians in general regard him as one of the few first - rate military leaders of the war from 1563 - 70 .
William Hamilton ( British Army officer ) William Robert Hamilton was a Scottish poet and First World War soldier . He was born in Dumfries , Scotland . He emigrated to South Africa where a portion of his education was at the South African College , Cape Town . He was killed on the Western Front in Flanders , Belgium in 1917 and is remembered on the Tyne Cot Memorial , at the Tyne Cot British Cemetery and Memorial , at Ieper ( Ypres ) in Flanders , Belgium . The reference to him reads : ( Source : Commonwealth War Graves Commission ) Publications . Poem by William Hamilton : The Song of an Exile I have seen the Cliffs of Dover And the White Horse on the Hill ; I have walked the lanes , a rover ; I have dreamed beside the rill : I have known the fields awaking To the gentle touch of Spring ; The joy of morning breaking , And the peace your twilights bring . " But I long for a sight of the pines , and the blue shadows under ; For the sweet - smelling gums , and the throbbing of African air ; For the sun and the sand , and the sound of the surf ' s ceaseless thunder , The height , and the breadth and the depth , and the nakedness there . " I have visited your cities Where the unregenerate dwell ; I have trilled the ploughman ' s ditties To the mill - wheel and the well . I have heard the poised lark singing To the blue of summer skies ; The whirr of pheasants winging , And the crash when grouse arise . " But I sigh for the heat of the veld , and the cool - flowing river ; For the crack of the trek - whip , the shimmer of dust - laden noon : For the day sudden dying ; the croak of the frogs , and the shiverOf tropical night , and the stars , and the low - hanging moon . " I have listen ' d in the gloaming To your poets ' tales of old ; I know , when I am roaming , That I walk on hallowed mould . I have lived and fought among you And I trow your hearts are steel ; That the nations who deride you Shall , like dogs , be brought to heel . " But I pine for the roar of the lion on the edge of the clearing ; For the rustle of grass snake ; the birds ' flashing wing on the heath ; For the sun - shrivelled peaks of the mountains to blue heaven rearing ; The limitless outlook , the space , and the freedom beneath .
