No . 4 ( Base ) Dress . When DEU was introduced , Naval personnel were issued No . 4 ( Base ) Dress , which consisted of a jacket and trousers similar to old CF work dress but in black . It was worn with a white dress shirt — open - necked or with necktie — or with the Naval blue work shirt . This uniform has since been phased out and replaced with the No 5 ( Naval Combat ) Dress . No . 5 ( Naval Combat ) Dress . Originally specialized uniforms for wear in an operational theatre , they have now superseded No . 4 uniform for comfortable everyday wear in garrison .

Vermandovillers German war cemetery Vermandovillers German war cemetery contains remains of 22 , 632 soldiers who died in World War I . It is located in Somme Département , France and is cared for by the German War Graves Commission . History . The cemetery was created in 1920 by the French Army as a collective cemetery for German soldiers who died on the battle fields of the Somme . Apart from a few casualties from the fighting in the summer and autumn of 1914 , those buried here were mainly killed in the Battle of the Somme in 1916 , the Battle of Amiens , and the 1918 Spring Offensive . Further remains were recovered in the first years after the war , while cleaning up the battlefields . Even to this day , when major earth movements reveal World War I - era bodies , the dead are re - interred here . The army units of those who rest in Vermandovillers derive from all countries and provinces of the former German Empire . Interwar period . Initial work on improving the condition of the cemetery arose through establishment of the German War - Care Association in 1927 / 28 , through an agreement with French Army . Trees and shrubs were planted , the cemetery area was bordered with stone walls , and the common graves were marked with wild roses . However , the problem of establishing permanent grave markers remained unresolved due to currency inflation , the Great Depression and the outbreak of World War II . Final design . On completion of the Franco - German War Graves Agreement , the German War Graves Commission was charged with the final design of all German military cemeteries in France dating from the time of World War I . Starting in 1964 , National Association of North Rhine - Westphalia youth camp participants began leveling , soil improvement and replanting on the property , including new layouts for the graves . In 1979 , permanent cast - metal markers with the names and dates of those at rest were installed to replace the temporary wooden markers . The Bundeswehr erected the concrete foundations for the metal crosses largely according to survey markings by participants in the National Association youth camps . Of the 9 , 455 individual graves in this cemetery , those of 379 at rest remain unknown , while an additional 13 , 200 dead are interred in 15 mass graves . In lieu of crosses , the graves of 32 Jewish soldiers were given stone markers whose translated Hebrew inscription reads : " Here lies buried XXX , May his soul be woven into the circle of the living . " Communal graves are marked with heavy stone crosses and metal plaques affixed on the outer walls bearing the names of those who are known . A high forged - steel cross stands in the center of the cemetery . There has been a fundamental review of landscaping , with grave area plantings , the establishment of new trees and shrubs , and overall maintenance of existing stock . Two famous literary figures rest in the common graves ; the Roman Catholic war poet and playwright Reinhard Johannes Sorge , and the Expressionist writer writer .

It was designed as a close - support artillery gun firing a high - explosive shell ( hence the relatively short barrel ) , but was also effective against the early tanks of the war . Starting from March 1942 , new variants of the Panzer IV and StuG III had their main armament upgraded to the new longer - barreled 7 . 5 cm KwK 40 . KwK 37 guns removed from older Panzer IVs which had been upgunned were reused to arm later Panzer III tanks and other infantry support vehicles . Ammunition . PzGr . 39 / 43 Armor - piercing .

By the time of the American Civil War , it was in service with both armies in twelve ( 4 . 62 " ) and twenty - four pound varieties . Like most other contemporary mortars , the Coehorn fired a powder - filled , time - fused shell ( projectile ) at a relatively short range . Range could be altered by adding to or reducing the amount of powder loaded behind the shell . Its usually small powder charge and slow muzzle velocity meant that the shell ' s high , arching flight could be easily observed from ground level .

The Japanese quickly landed at the harbor and advanced upon the fortress . The battle pitted the Korean commander Yun Heung - sin ( Hangul : 윤흥신 Hanja : 尹興信 ) against Konishi Yukinaga , the first commander of the first division of the Japanese army . Yun ' s brother Yun Heung - je ( Hangul : 윤흥제 Hanja : 尹興梯 ) was also at the battle . The Korean commander quickly led his troops onto the walls for a defense , while Konishi landed in the harbor and charged , using the same tactic as So Yoshitoshi of draining the moat under cover of arquebuse fire . The arquebuses caught the Korean garrison at Dadaejin off guard . Similar to Busan , the Korean soldiers were terrified at the arquebuses and were incapable of effectively countering them . The Koreans were unable to prevent the Japanese from draining the moat and thus having direct access to the defensive walls . The Japanese used siege towers , ladders , and the cover of arquebus - fire to scale the defense against barrages of arrows and rocks launched by the Koreans . Yun waited for the first line of defense to be breached , feigned retreat , and mounted a massive counter - attack and caught the Japanese by surprise . After fierce mêlée , the main walls were breached and the city was taken . Like Busan , Dadaejin was looted , pillaged , and burned , with most of its civilian population massacred . Conclusion . Konishi secured Dadaejin for reinforcements ' landings . He immediately regrouped his army and marched towards Seoul , the Japanese army ' s main objective . Konishi and So Yoshitoshi , the attacker at Busan , met little resistance on their advancement ( see Battle of Chungju and Battle of Sangju ) . The failure to defend Choryang Pass , a strategic defensive post , forced the Koreans to retreat and the Japanese armies reached the outskirts of Seoul in less than a month .
