Nicknamed the " River Regiment " as its men came from nine counties along the Ohio River , it served in the Western Theater in several major campaigns of the Army of the Ohio . Organization and service . The 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry was organized in Ripley , Ohio , on October 3 , 1862 , under Col . Israel Garrard . The regiment primarily operated in Kentucky , Tennessee , and western North Carolina , seeing action in several campaigns and cavalry raids as part of the Army of the Ohio . It was part of the Union forces hastily sent northward in the summer of 1863 in pursuit of Morgan ' s Raid ers , seeing action at the Battle of Buffington Island where much of Morgan ' s command was captured . Colonel Garrard accepted the surrender of the Confederates under Col . Basil W . Duke , although Brig . Gen . John Hunt Morgan escaped with a portion of the raiders . Participating in the Knoxville Campaign in the autumn of 1863 , the 7th suffered a significant setback in a small skirmish in Greeneville , Tennessee , on November 6 . Confederate Maj . Gen . Robert Ransom , Jr . , and Brig . Gen . William E . " Grumble " Jones dispersed Union cavalry and infantry in the area , seizing numerous prisoners from the 7th Ohio Cavalry and the 2nd East Tennessee Mounted Infantry regiments . In July 1864 , the regiment moved from Tennessee into Georgia and joined the forces of Maj . Gen . William T . Sherman during the Atlanta Campaign . It participated in numerous skirmishes and engagements with Confederate cavalry until the fall of Atlanta in late July . The regiment then accompanied the army of George H . Thomas northward back into Tennessee during the Franklin - Nashville Campaign , again engaged in scouting and periodic skirmishes with the Confederates , particularly during the retreat of the beaten Army of Tennessee as it withdrew towards the Tennessee River . In March 1865 , the 7th participated in Wilson ' s Raid into Alabama and was among the troops to enter Selma . It pursued retreating Confederates as far as the Andersonville Prison in Georgia , where news was received that Robert E . Lee had surrendered in Virginia . The 7th OVC was mustered out on July 4 , 1865 , and returned home to Ohio . During the war , the regiment lost 2 officers and 26 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded , and 4 officers and 197 enlisted men by disease , for a total of 229 fatalities . Following the war , veterans frequently met to remember the war and their fallen comrades , and many became active in local posts of the Grand Army of the Republic .
Action of 27 March 1942 The Action of 27 March 1942 was a naval battle fought between the United States and Germany during World War II in the Atlantic Ocean . While patrolling 300 miles off Norfolk , Virginia , an American Q - ship encountered a German U - boat and a short surface engagement ensued . Action . USS " Atik " , under Lieutenant Commander Harry Lynnwood Hicks , was originally a merchantman named SS " Carolyn " which was converted to a Q - ship after America ' s entry into World War II . The " Atik " displaced 6 , 610 tons with a crew of 141 men and an armament of four naval gun s , eight machine gun s and six K - gun s . It was about 5 : 00 pm on March 27 when the " U - 123 " detected the " Atik " . Over two hours later at 7 : 37 pm , Captain Lieutenant Reinhard Hardegen fired a spread of G7e torpedoes from a surfaced position and one of them struck the " Atik " s bow on port side . The Q - ship caught on fire and started to list slightly . Lieutenant Commander Hicks apparently decided that the only way to lure the U - boat within range of his guns was by ordering a lifeboat to be lowered on the starboard side . The trick worked so when " U - 123 " was maneuvering to starboard , around the " Atik " s stern , she opened fire with all of her weapons , including depth charges . The first shots fell short of the U - boat and the others deflected . The American machine gunners were successful though and the U - boat ' s bridge was slightly damaged and one German midshipman was mortally wounded . Immediately after the Americans opened fire , Captain Hardegen ordered his deck gun into action and fled out of " Atik " s range before diving but at 9 : 29 pm the " U - 123 " attacked again to finish the Q - ship off . After firing and striking the ship with one more torpedo , the " Atik " still remained mostly afloat with her bow slowly settling . The remainder of the American crew appeared to be evacuating their ship at this point so the Germans deemed her as no longer being a threat and they surfaced at 10 : 27 pm to watch " Atik " sink . Twenty - three minutes later at 10 : 50 pm the " Atik " exploded and then a gale blew in , killing all of the 141 American sailors . The one German casualty was buried at sea ten minutes later and then the " U - 123 " escaped . An SOS was received by three nearby American warships , the USS " Noa " , USS " Asterion " and the USS " Sagamore " but when they arrived there was nothing but wreckage . American aircraft also searched for several days though nothing but debris and five empty lifeboats were found .

Wakayama Castle Ōta was rebuilt as a temple for the Shinshu branch of Japanese Buddhism , severed from its history as a home to warrior monks . Wakayama Castle was then built on the same site , under the supervision of Toyotomi Hidenaga , Hideyoshi ' s brother , with Tōdō Takatora ' s participation . Asano Yoshinaga arrived in 1600 to serve as feudal lord , under Tokugawa Ieyasu . The castle was later attacked , in 1615 , by forces loyal to Toyotomi Hideyori , who were trying to end the siege of Osaka . In the summer of 1615 , parts of the Osaka garrison left the city , ambushing various elements of the Tokugawa forces . Ono Harunaga , Hanawa Naoyuki and Okabe Noritsuna led part of the garrison in attacking Wakayama Castle , held by Asano Nagaakira at the time .

Gazelle FRV The Gazelle FRV or Fast Reconnaissance Vehicle is a 4x4 infantry fighting vehicle ( IFV ) intended for scouting duties based on the body of the Mercedes - Benz Unimog light truck developed by Zimbabwe in the early 1980s . Development . The FRV project begun in 1981 - 82 as a joint - venture by the private firm Kew Engineering of Gwelo ( now Gweru ) and the newly created Zimbabwe Defence Industries ( ZDI ) to meet a requirement from the Zimbabwe Government for a home - grown light armoured vehicle intended to the export market . After the prototype was completed , ZDI demonstrated the Gazelle to the Kenyan Army , but no orders were ever placed and production did not proceeded as expected . Although the prototype was also tested by the Zimbabwe National Army ’ s ( ZNA ) 1st Mechanised Battalion in Mozambique , the ZNA never formally evaluated or adopted the vehicle and eventually the whole project was discontinued . General description . Built on a Mercedes - Benz U1100 Unimog 416 2 . 5 ton light truck chassis , it consisted of an armoured hull of welded ballistic steel plate incorporating one rear and two side doors . The overall design is very similar to the French ACMAT TPK 4 . 2 PSF armoured car , with exception of the glacis which had a small conventional windscreen on the right side and on the left side a projecting , box - type canopy of three framed windows of bullet - and splinter - proof glass to give the driver better lateral vision . This peculiar element of design was probably inspired by South African - made armoured vehicles such as the Buffel , which entered service with the South African Defence Force ( SADF ) at the time . The Gazelle had a five - man crew – driver , commander , gunner and two infantry scouts . Though a very fast and robust vehicle with a good off - road performance the Gazelle however , unlike most former Rhodesian and Zimbabwean armoured vehicles , lacked protection against landmines and had not for this single design flaw , it certainly would have been a commercial success . Is no longer being marketed . Armament . A one - man turret similar to the Mine Protected Combat Vehicle - MPCV , which accommodated either 12 . 7mm or 14 . 5mm Heavy Machine - Guns ( HMGs ) could be fitted on the top roof though the vehicle also served without it and with other armament such as a pintle - mounted 20mm autocannon or a FN MAG 58 7 . 62 x 51mm NATO light machine - gun .

MAB Model D pistol The MAB model D is a pistol produced by MAB ( Manufacture d ' Armes de Bayonne ) from 1933 to 1963 ( . 32 ACP ) and 1982 ( . 380 ACP ) ; it was inspired by the Belgian Browning FN pistol 1910 / 22 . It was developed with the smaller " MAB C , " also made in . 32 and . 380 ACP , and with which it has many parts in common . Some later examples marked " MAB C " are actually a combination of a MAB C " slide " and barrel with a MAB D frame ; these are officially an " extended grip " MAB C but usually called a " MAB C / D , " although are not so marked . The MAB C was primarily a civilian " pocket pistol , " while the larger MAB D was intended for police and military use . The MAB D was used by the French Army and military police before and after World War II . After German forces occupied France , the MAB D was adopted for use by the Wehrmacht ( German army ) during World War II ; these pistols typically have German acceptance marks stamped into the metal . ( As with other weapons , it is not uncommon to find forged German acceptance marks on MAB Ds being sold , including incorrect acceptance marks , incorrect placement , and marks on Type II MABs not manufactured until after World War II . ) Following World War II , the MAB D was used by the French military in Indochina . In France , it was used by various French governmental agencies , including the French local police , the " Gendarmerie " ( military police and also civilian countryside police ) , the customs department , the " National Forest Office " and by the " Banque de France " . MAB Ds are now only used as surplus pistols for the French Police , who primarily used revolvers before 2000 . As with other French firearms , MAB Ds were also used by the military and police of the Kingdom of Morocco , a French protectorate . In the years after World War II , German police forces also used the MAB D . There were two MAB D versions , usually called the Type I and Type II . The Type I MAB D was made 1933 - 1945 and used an external muzzle bushing release latch in front of the trigger guard ; the Type II used an internal " bayonet " type release requiring pushing in and turning the muzzle bushing . The MAB factory changed from the Type I to Type II production in June 1945 . The MAB D pictured with this article is a Type I . The barrel release latch can be seen near the front of the frame in front of the trigger guard , as well as the Type I muzzle bushing .
