Burneside Hall Burneside Hall is a converted medieval pele tower in Burneside , Cumbria , England . History . Documentary records for Burneside Hall extend to 1290 , when a property was owned on the site by Gilbert Burneshead , the Under - Sheriff of Westmorland . Richard Bellingham , a member of an influential Northumberland family , married Burneshead ' s daughter , acquiring the site . Burneside Hall in its current form was originally built in the second half of the 14th century by the Bellingham family . The medieval heart of Burneside Hall was a pair of pele tower s , linked by a large , open hall . Only one of these towers still remains , three storeys tall but badly ruined , measuring 20 feet by 35 feet ( 6 metres by 11 metres ) . This tower was originally the buttery and pantry , forming the service end of the castle . The second tower was of similar height to the first , but narrower ; it was rebuilt in the 18th century and effectively destroyed . The Bellinghams remained the owners until " Burnaldeshede " ' Castle ' was seized by the King in 1461 , when Henry Bellingham was attanted for treason , and it was held by the Parr family until Bellingham ' s general pardon in 1480 . During the 1530s it was sold by the Bellinghams to Sir Thomas Clifford , and passed from him to John Fitzwilliam , who in 1552 sold it to John Machell of Kendal and London ( Sheriff of London 1555 - 6 ) . His heirs sold it to the Braithwaite family , who retained it for the next seven generations . During the early 17th century it was the home of the poet Richard Brathwaite . A two - story gatehouse at the front of the property was built in the late - 16th or 17th century , with a relatively substantial barmkin wall , 6 feet ( 2 metres ) thick in places , erected around it . The original open hall was converted into smaller rooms in the 17th century , and additional windows added . The second tower was rebuilt in the 18th century and effectively destroyed in the process . In the late 19th - century , Stephen Brunskill inherited the property and conducted some restoration work on the medieval parts of the property . Today . Burneside Hall is a Grade II * listed building ; as of 2010 , English Heritage considered the Burnside Hall pele tower to be formally at risk of slow decay .
CAESAR self - propelled howitzer The CAESAR from CAmion Equipé d ' un Système d ' ARtillerie ( ) is a 155 mm / 52 - calibre gun - howitzer installed on a 6X6 truck chassis . Examples built for the French Army use a Renault Sherpa 10 chassis , examples built for export utilize the 6x6 Unimog U2450L chassis . The CAESAR platform was developed by the former GIAT Industries ( now known as Nexter ) and is operated by the French , Indonesian , Saudi Arabian , and Thai militaries . Development . Caesar was developed in the 1990s as a technology demonstrator by the French state - owned company GIAT Industries ; it was first shown in public in 1994 . Four years later a pre - production model underwent trials with the French Army . Design . The CAESAR is a wheeled , 155mm 52 - caliber self - propelled howitzer .

During Eurosatory 2006 , CAESAR was exhibited with an automated laying system based on the SIGMA 30 inertial navigation system . Nexter is developing an armored cab for the CAESAR in response to demand for more protection from crews . The additional armor will protect against IEDs and roadside bombs , anti - vehicle mines , and 155 mm shells landing as close as five meters ( 16 feet ) away from the vehicle . It can be added to the cabs of existing CAESARs . Heavier armor will increase its weight by 400 kg ( 880 pounds ) and raise the price by 4 - 5 percent . Operational deployment . In June 2009 , the French Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed that 8 CAESAR will be sent to Afghanistan to support French operations . They should be deployed during the summer . Three have been deployed 1 August 2009 by the 3rd Marine Artillery Regiment , followed by five others , to be place as firebase in FOB Tora , Tagab and Nijrab . They are fitted with cabin armor add - ons , with fireport . The French army deployed this system in southern Lebanon as part as the UNIFIL peace keeping force . During Operation Serval in Mali 4 CAESAR were deployed by the 68 régiment d ' artillerie d ' Afrique ( 68th Artillery of Africa Regiment ) . In April 2011 , the Royal Thai Army used the CAESAR against Cambodia ' s BM - 21 , Thai Army claimed that they destroyed more than 2 BM - 21 systems .

General ( Switzerland ) The General ( , , , ) is an office and rank in the armed forces of Switzerland . It is held by the commander - in - chief of the Army in time of war only . Under the Swiss Constitution , he must be elected by the Federal Assembly , assembled as the United Federal Assembly , specifically for the purpose of taking on the war - time responsibilities . Role . Normally the word " general " is not used in the Swiss military , with three - star commandants de corps the highest - ranking officers in the army . Under the Constitution , the Federal Council , which acts as the country ' s head of state , can command only 4 , 000 soldiers , with a time limit of three weeks of mobilisation . For it to field more service personnel , the Federal Assembly must elect a General who is given four stars . Thus , the General is elected by the Federal Assembly to give him the same democratic legitimacy as the Federal Council . The general is elected by a joint session of the Federal Assembly , known as the United Federal Assembly , wherein both the 200 - seat National Council and 46 - seat Council of States join together on a ' one member , one vote ' basis . The Federal Assembly retains the sole power to dismiss the General , but the General remains subordinate to the Federal Council by the Council ' s ability to demobilise and hence making the position of General redundant . History . Generals were appointed during the 1848 revolution in Baden , the Neuchâtel Crisis , the Franco - Austrian War , the Franco - Prussian War , the First World War and the Second World War , although Switzerland was militarily involved in none of them and the role of the army in these times was mainly to guard the border . All senior officers used to hold variations on the rank of Colonel ( there were " Brigade Colonels " , for instance ) . Nowadays , the general officer ranks are : " Brigadier " , " Divisionär " ( Major General ) , " Korpskommandant " ( Lieutenant General ) and " General " ( which is not currently used ) . The senior Swiss officer detached to the line of demarcation in Panmunjeom , South Korea , however , is given the courtesy designation of " General " for equality purposes . List of generals . The following Swiss officers have held the rank of General as the leaders of the Army in time of war :

Battle of Torches The Battle of Torches was fought in 1583 during the Ottoman – Safavid War ( 1578 – 1590 ) . The name of the battle refers to torches used during night clashes . Background . In the first phase of the war the Ottomans had been able to conquer most of the Caucasus . Osman Pasha ( Özdemir Pasha ’ s son ) was appointed as the governor of the newly conquered territories . The capital of his province was Derbend at the Caspian coast . However , after the Ottoman army returned to its main base in Istanbul , the Persians under Imam Kulu began to regain some of their former territories . Although an army from the Crimean Khanate ( which was an Ottoman vassal ) under Mehmet Giray was sent to Caucasus in summer 1579 as a reinforcement , they returned to Crimea in the autumn , leaving Osman Pasha alone . Consequently , Osman Pasha had to retreat to North Caucasus . In 1582 , the Ottoman Porte sent a second reinforcing force under Cafer Pasha , the governor of Caffa , to restore Ottaman dominance in the area . Battle . The 50 , 000 - strong Persians under Imam Kulu , together with Georgian irregulars , attacked again in the spring of 1583 . In a first clash by the vanguard units of both armies , the Ottomans were defeated ( 25 April 1583 ) . The main clash occurred in Baştepe near Derbend on 9 May 1583 . On the Ottoman side , Osman Pasha was placed in the center , Cafer Pasha was at the left flank and Haydar Pasha , the governor of Sivas , was at the right flank . On the Persian side , Imam Kulu was in the center , Rustem Khan was at the right and Burhaneddin at the left . The result of the battle was inconclusive at the end of the first day , but the battle continued during the night , both sides using torches . In the second day , there was a momentary pause in the combat . But in the third day , an Ottoman general attack marked the end of the battle . The Persian army was defeated and the Persian prisoners of war exceeded 3000 . Aftermath . By this victory , the Ottomans were able to establish control over all of the Caucasus . After further Ottoman victories in the south ( conquest of Tebriz ) both sides agreed to conclude peace . By the Treaty of Ferhat Pasha of 1590 , Persians acknowledged Ottoman gains in both the Caucasus and modern Azerbaijan as well as West Iran . But these gains were not long lasting , as they were reversed in the next Ottoman – Safavid War .
