Bolsover Castle Bolsover Castle is a castle in Bolsover , Derbyshire , England ( ) . It was founded in the 12th century by the Peverel family , who also owned Peveril Castle in Derbyshire , and came under royal control in 1155 . The site is now in the care of English Heritage and is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument . History . A castle was built by the Peverel family in the 12th century and became Crown property in 1155 when William Peverel the Younger died . The Ferrers family who were Earls of Derby laid claim to the Peveril property . When a group of barons led by King Henry II ' s sons – Henry the Young King , Geoffrey Duke of Brittany , and Prince Richard , later Richard the Lionheart – revolted against the king ' s rule , Henry spent £116 on building at the castles of Bolsover and Peveril in Derbyshire . The garrison was increased to a force led by 20 knight s and was shared with the castles of Peveril and Nottingham during the revolt . John ascended the throne in 1199 after his brother Richard ' s death . William de Ferrers maintained the claim of the Earls of Derby to the Peveril estates . He paid John 2000 marks for the lordship of the Peak , but the Crown retained possession of Bolsover and Peveril Castles . John finally gave them to Ferrers in 1216 to secure his support in the face of country - wide rebellion . However , the castellan Brian de Lisle refused to hand them over . Although Lisle and Ferrers were both John ' s supporters , John gave Ferrers permission to use force to take the castles . The situation was still chaotic when Henry III became king after his father ' s death in 1216 . Bolsover fell to Ferrers ' forces in 1217 after a siege . It was then allowed to deteriorate into a ruin . The manor and castle were purchased by Sir George Talbot in 1553 . They were sold by Gilbert , 7th Earl of Shrewsbury to Sir Charles Cavendish , son of Bess of Hardwick in 1608 . Sir Charles set about re - building the castle , a process continued by his son William Cavendish , later 1st Duke of Newcastle upon Tyne . Despite its embattled appearance , the castle was designed for elegant living rather than defence . The tower , known today as the ' Little Castle ' , was completed around 1621 . During the Civil War Bolsover Castle was taken by the Parliamentarians who slighted it and it fell into a ruinous state . William Cavendish added a new hall and staterooms to the Terrace Range and , by the time of his death in 1676 , the castle had been restored to good order . It passed through the female line into the Bentinck family , and ultimately became one of the seats of the Dukes of Portland . After 1883 the castle was uninhabited and given to the nation by the 7th Duke of Portland in 1945 . The castle is now in the care of English Heritage . Bolsover Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument , a " nationally important " historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change . It is also a Grade I listed building ( first listed in 1985 ) and recognised as an internationally important structure .
Bến Củi Bến Củi is a commune of Dương Minh Châu District , Tây Ninh Province , Vietnam . The area of the commune is 34 , 26 km² , and the population in 1999 was 4 , 802 people . Vietnam War . Bến Củi was the site of a rubber plantation ( Nông trường cao su Bến Củi ) that was part of the Michelin Rubber Plantation near Dầu Tiếng , Republic of Vietnam . During the Vietnam War , Ben Cui and other sections of the Michelin rubber plantation were the scene of intense fighting between United States forces and the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) and Viet Cong forces . Staff Sergeant Marvin " Rex " Young , Company C , 1st Battalion ( Mechanized ) , 5th Infantry Regiment , 25th Infantry Division posthumously received the Medal of Honor , in recognition of the repeated efforts he made to save the lives of his comrades near Ben Cui on August 21 , 1968 . The 1st Battalion , 5th Infantry Regiment , earned the Presidential Unit Citation for the actions from August 18 to September 20 , 1968 . The fighting in the Bến Củi rubber plantation is sometimes referred to as the Third Offensive , in reference to the third wave of massed North Vietnamese troops after the Tet Offensive . The Tet and subsequent offensives marked a major shift from the small hit - and - run sniper and ambush that dominated during the Vietnam War to a more massive display of force and higher numbers of casualties . Some of the veterans of the combat in the Bến Củi and other segments of the Michelin rubber plantation believe that heavier U . S . casualties were sustained because the U . S . Army had an informal agreement with the French Government to not use artillery or air strikes in the rubber plantations , to avoid costly damage to the rubber trees . However , the Combat After Action Reports from the Bến Củi engagement of 21 August 1968 indicate that both artillery and air support were used .
Finlarig Castle Finlarig Castle is an early 17th - century castle standing on a mound on a peninsula between the River Lochay and Loch Tay , roughly 1 kilometre north of Killin in highland Perthshire , Scotland . Built in 1629 by ' Black ' Duncan Campbell ( Donnchadh Dubh ) of Glenorchy , the castle is an L - plan tower - house , formerly protected by an outer enclosure or barmekin , which is now in a dangerously ruinous condition . It was one of many strongholds built in Argyll and Perthshire by the Campbells of Breadalbane . The castle was visited by Rob Roy MacGregor in 1713 . Near the Castle ' s north wall is a stone - lined pit which , legend has it , was used for beheading prisoners of noble blood . Commoners were hanged on a nearby oak tree . Near the Castle are the remnants of the Breadalbane Mausoleum , a mock - Tudor chapel erected in 1829 on the site of an earlier chapel and burial place founded in 1523 by an ancestor of the Earls of Breadalbane , Sir Colin Campbell . Allowed to decay over many years , this brick - built building has almost completely collapsed .
Improved Load Bearing Equipment The Improved Load Bearing Equipment or ILBE is a United States Marine Corps program that includes individual load carriage equipment , individual hydration systems ( Source One Hydration ) and individual water purification . Since the rucksack was the first part of the program issued to Marines , the ruck is commonly referred to as simply " ILBE " . The ILBE ruck was designed to replace the existing ALICE and MOLLE packs . The ILBE is designed by Arc ' teryx ' s Law Enforcement and Armed Forces " LEAF " program and manufactured by Inc . The backpack is made from Cordura 725 denier fabric , with MARPAT camouflage pattern printed onto it . The pack is also covered with a PALS grid , for the attachment of smaller modular pouches . It includes a main pack , a detachable assault pack and a 100 - ounce ( 3 liter ) water reservoir . The ILBE can hold up to 120 pounds and has room for 60mm and 81mm mortar rounds outside the main pack . Specialized bags for corpsmen and reconnaissance units are also available . Because the ILBE was fielded before the creation of the Modular Tactical Vest , the pack does not integrate well , and this stress with body armor can cause discomfort and injury . Marine Corps Systems Command announced a replacement was forthcoming in 2009 , with possible replacements including two entries from Mystery Ranch , Granite Gear , and the Army ' s improved version of MOLLE . In 2011 , the Corps finished testing and released a solicitation for prototypes under the name " USMC Pack " , outlying design requirements that are similar to improved MOLLE .
