Andrew J . Grigsby Andrew Jackson Grigsby ( November 2 , 1819 – December 23 , 1895 ) was a Confederate States Army officer in the famed Stonewall Brigade during the American Civil War . Grigsby was also known as both " A . J . Grigsby " and " Arnold J . Grigsby " . Grigsby was born in Rockbridge County , Virginia . He attended Washington College ( later , Washington & Lee University ) . He became a farmer and served in the Mexican War . When the Civil War erupted , he became a major in the 27th Virginia Infantry in the Stonewall Brigade in 1861 , lieutenant colonel later that year , and colonel in 1862 . ( He succeeded John Echols in these higher ranks . ) Grigsby served under Stonewall Jackson in the Valley Campaign , fighting at the First Battle of Winchester . Then , he served under Jackson in the Seven Days Battles and Second Bull Run , being slightly wounded in the latter . Grigsby was wounded on several occasions . He led the Stonewall Brigade from August 30 , 1862 , to November 6 , 1862 , including at the Battle of Antietam , in place of Brig . Gen . Charles S . Winder . He became acting commander of Jackson ' s Division during the battle when Brig . Gen . John R . Jones was wounded and Brig . Gen . William E . Starke was killed . He was brevetted Brig . Gen . and so served , but was apparently never confirmed . Afterwards Stonewall Jackson decided not to promote Grigsby to permanent command of the Stonewall Brigade , and the colonel resigned his commission in protest when Elisha F . Paxton of Jackson ' s staff was promoted in his stead . One theory why Grigsby was passed over for promotion was his use of profane language , which displeased the devout and sober Jackson . Grigsby tendered his resignation in protest . Paxton was killed by a minnie ball round , on May 3 , 1863 while preparing to attack the Union Army at Chancellorsville . Grigsby is reported to have had a testy encounter with Jefferson Davis , when he went to Richmond , Virginia , to protest being passed over for promotion . This resulted in his remaining at home , unemployed in further service , for the rest of the war . After his resignation on November 14 , 1862 , he served in the CSA House of Representatives for the Kentucky delegation . He died in Stony Point , Virginia , and is buried there in the Gross family cemetery .

Panssarimiina m / 36 The Panssarimiina m / 36 is a Finnish anti - tank blast mine used during the Winter War , Second World War and Continuation War . The mine was the first purpose built anti - tank mine to enter service with the Finnish Army , and was designed by Lieutenant Colonel T . Raatikainen and Lieutenant Colonel Pylkkänen . Only 5 , 000 were produced , as the mine proved complex to produce for a number of reasons . The fuze was complex and designed to be interchangeable with artillery fuzes , so artillery shells could be used alongside the mines , also the sheet metal case was hard to produce . The mine is circular with a distinctive waisted shape . The top and the bottom of the mine have jagged edges , which enable the mine to grip to ice or frozen ground rather than slipping sideways . During the Second World War the mine proved to have too little explosive content to reliably break the tracks of the latest Russian tanks , so two supplemental charges were issued , each weighing about 2 . 5 kg , they could be buried under the mine to supplement the main charge . Where these supplemental charges were not available a second mine was buried under the first . The mine was replaced by the Panssarimiina m / 39 in 1939 , although it remained in service for some time afterwards .
