Dade was killed in a battle with Seminole Indians that came to be known as the " Dade Massacre " . Dade was born in Virginia , most likely in King George County .

Reinterment took place at the St . Augustine Post Cemetery , which would become St . Augustine National Cemetery . In addition to Dade ' s command , more than 1 , 400 soldiers were interred in three mass graves .

Military Order of the Stars and Bars The Military Order of the Stars and Bars is a fraternal organization for documented descendants of men who served as commissioned officer s in the armed forces of the Confederate States of America or who are descended from members of the Confederate Congress , or any elected or appointed member of the Executive Branch of the Confederate Government . Membership is open to males , aged 12 or older , who are direct or collateral descendants of Confederate Officers who served honorably in the Confederate military , elected or appointed civilian officials of the individual Confederate States , officials of the Confederate National government , and officials of the Five Civilized Tribes that allied with the Confederacy . Its headquarters is in White House , Tennessee . Members may join local chapters as well as state societies or be a national at - large member . History . Founded in 1938 in Columbia , South Carolina , during the Great Depression , it is the only active heritage organization created by Confederate veterans . The first meeting was convened by 17 former Confederate officers , with 47 male descendants of Confederate officers in attendance . They voted to begin a new CSA veterans society , with a commitment to hold annual meetings , and chose the name of the " Order of the Stars & Bars " . The OSB was unique in its understanding that as the original Confederate officers died , their male descendants had to carry on the purposes of the order . In 1976 the organization changed its name to " The Military Order of the Stars & Bars " at the 39th General Convention held in Memphis , Tennessee . They adopted the Confederate battle flag ( the square " Southern Cross " incorporated into the second and third National Flags of the Confederate States of America , not to be confused with the " Stars and Bars " adopted as the first national flag ) as the official insignia of the order . The leader would be called the commander general of the Military Order of the Stars and Bars . Today the fraternal Military Order of the Stars and Bars is a non - profit 501 ( c ) 3 , non - political educational , historical , patriotic , and heritage group that is dedicated to preserving Southern history . It has added programs to recognize outstanding contributions in the fields of American history , as well as the fine arts that emphasize Southern culture . It offers college scholarships and awards for the study and communication of Confederate and American history . It awards literary prizes to authors and publishing houses , and recognizes journalists who practice ethical reporting of local and Southern history . It erects monuments to the memory of the CSA soldiers . The organization emphasizes American patriotism and the honoring of all American military veterans of all wars . The order emphasizes family and tradition , and encourages its membership to preserve their family ' s Confederate history for posterity .
Australian Women ' s Land Army The Australian Women ' s Land Army ( AWLA ) was an organisation created in World War II in Australia to combat rising labour shortages in the farming sector . The AWLA was formed on 27 July 1942 and was modelled on Women ' s Land Army in Great Britain . When Japan joined the Axis in 1941 male agricultural labour was recruited into the Australian military to defend the country . To meet the shortfall in rural labour , state and private women ’ s land organisations began to form under the jurisdiction of the Director General of Manpower . The AWLA disbanded on 31 December 1945 . In 1997 , many members became eligible for the Civilian Service Medal . The minimum age for recruits was 18 with a maximum of 50 years of age . Women had to be either be of British origin or immigrants from Allied nations . AWLA women were generally recruited from urban areas and were often unskilled in rural work . The AWLA reached its peak enrolment in December 1943 , with 2 , 382 permanent members and 1 , 039 auxiliary members . Women in the AWLA worked an average 48 hour week , with pay starting at the AWLA minimum wage of 30 shillings a week . Permanent members were also entitled to sick pay . As was common at the time , Women in the AWLA were paid much less than their male counterparts for the same work . Members of the AWLA covered a variety of agricultural labours , including vegetable and fruit growing , pig and poultry raising , and sheep and wool work . The AWLA was planned to function in two divisions : To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the formation , the Australian Government agreed to a range of measures to recognise and thank the ‘ land army girls ’ for their commitment and efforts . A reception was held in Parliament House on Monday 20 August 2012 which acknowledged those surviving former AWLA members who were able to attend . Attendees were presented with a commemorative certificate , a commemorative brooch and a copy of a commemorative history publication of the AWLA . For many years after the war little if any acknowledgement was given to the service provided by the AWLA . Mrs Peggy Williams OAM , a former member of the AWLA led the campaign for proper recognition of all ' land army girls ' efforts during the war years . This was acknowledged in a speech given by the Prime Minister of Australia at the Parliament House reception marking the 70th anniversary .

Statue of Horatio Nelson , Birmingham The Statue of Horatio Nelson by Richard Westmacott Jr . , RA ( 1775 – 1856 ) stands in the Bull Ring , Birmingham , England . Subscription . This bronze statue was the first publicly funded statue in Birmingham , and the first statue of Horatio Nelson in Britain . It was made in 1809 by public subscription of £2 , 500 by the people of Birmingham following Nelson ' s visit to the town on 31 August 1802 , the year before he sailed against the fleets of Napoleon . The statue was unveiled on 25 October 1809 , that being the day decreed as the official golden jubilee of George III . Description . Nelson stands in uniform , with his one arm resting on an anchor with the prow of a miniature ship : HMS Victory . Upon the ship is the " Flag Staff Truck " ( part of the mast ) of the French ship Orient ( 1791 ) , flagship of the French fleet , sunk at the Battle of the Nile .

Type 79 mini rocket launcher The Type 79 is a mini rocket launcher of Chinese origin , in which the user has the option either to throw conventionally or firing it using an attached rocket motor to a base range of 25 meters or an indirect fire range of 400 meters .
