Erling first sailed to the Holy Land , then Constantinople , and lastly visited Rome . During a battle with Arab warrior s on Sicily a sword - wielding Arab cut Erling in the neck .

Erling was the guardian of King Inge and was one of the leaders of lendmannspartiet after King Inge ' s death in 1161 . Erling Skakke managed to have elected his son , Magnus Erlingsson as the king of Norway in 1161 and crowned in 1163 , at the age of eight . Erling took the title of earl and held the real power since Magnus was a minor . In 1166 , Sigurd Agnhatt and his foster son Olav Ugjæva raised a force in Oppland , and had Olav proclaimed king , while earl Erling Skakke was away in Denmark .

The British plan to foster and assist the Ethiopian revolt was called " Mission 101 " . Overall , Sandford ' s tour was relatively successful , and so upon his return to Cairo Sandford selected the team he would use to implement Mission 101 and drew up two plans of action : Scheme A , which dealt with military preparations and the British role , and Scheme B , which focused on the propaganda methods to be used . As soon as Italy declared war on 10 June , Sandford and his team swung into action implementing his plan . Sandford oversaw Mission 101 until the arrival of Orde Wingate .

Group B - 6 had sailed without the destroyers " Fame " and " Viscount " which had been damaged in the battle for eastbound convoy SC 104 . The United States Coast Guard cutters " Bibb " , " Duane " , and " Ingham " accompanied the convoy from the Western Approaches with ships that detached for Iceland on 15 November . Background . As western Atlantic coastal convoys brought an end to the second happy time , Admiral Karl Dönitz , the " Befehlshaber der U - Boote " ( " BdU " ) or commander in chief of U - Boats , shifted focus to the mid - Atlantic to avoid aircraft patrols . Although convoy routing was less predictable in the mid - ocean , Dönitz anticipated that the increased numbers of U - boats being produced would be able to effectively search for convoys with the advantage of intelligence gained through " B - Dienst " decryption of British Naval Cypher Number 3 . However , of the 180 trans - Atlantic convoys sailing from the end of July 1942 until the end of April 1943 , only 20 percent lost ships to U - boat attack .

" U - 624 " sank the 5 , 344 - ton British tanker " President Sergent " and the 4 , 732 - ton American freighter " Parismina " and damaged the 5 , 432 - ton American freighter " Yaka " which was later sunk by " U - 522 " .

Battle of Ramadi ( 1917 ) The Battle of Ramadi was fought in central Iraq late in September 1917 between the British and the Ottomans ; it was part of the Mesopotamian Campaign in World War I . The 15th Indian Division was sent to the town of Ramadi , about west of Baghdad on the south bank of the Euphrates River , where an important Ottoman garrison was quartered . A defeat of that garrison would allow the British further advance along the river . There had already been an abortive attack on the town on 11 July , where the British forces were driven off and retreated to Dhibban at a cost of 566 casualties . General Brooking ordered the building of a dummy bridge and road on the north bank , to fool the Ottoman forces that the assault they expected would come from that side . He then sent the 6th Cavalry Brigade on a wide flanking march to take up positions to the west of the town ( on the Ottoman line of retreat ) . The attack began on September 28 , on the south bank of the Euphrates , with two brigades of the 15th Div forcing their way into the town . Although the Ottomans expected an enemy assault , the British made ample use of armoured cars , which the defenders of the town were not ready to fight against , and the Ottoman garrison was quickly outflanked and surrounded . Nocturnal escape attempt was thwarted by the British cavalry , and the Ottoman forces surrendered in the morning of September 29 . The British maneuver had been especially effective , and Ramadi was conquered quickly and with fewer - than - usual casualties . Notes and references . Moberly , F . J . ( 1923 ) .
