The Yemenites had requested Khosrau ' s assistance against the Ethiopians of Axum , who had occupied large parts of the country . Sayf ibn Dhi Yazan , the son of Dhu Yazan , went to Khosrau and offered him all of Yemen if his army would defeat the Ethiopians . Vahrez met Masruq , ruler of Yemen , in battle and killed Masruq with an arrow . Then the Ethiopians fled , Vahrez conquered Sana ' a and then went on to conquer the rest of the country . Tabari reports that the main reason behind victory of Vahriz over the Axumites was the use of the " panjigan " ( probably a ballista equipped with heavy darts ) , a piece of military technology with which the local peoples were utterly unfamiliar . Vahrez then took up residence as the Persian governor of Yemen , which became a vassal state of the Sassanids until the arrival of Islam .

Fall of Ghent The Fall of Ghent occurred on 15 July 1745 during the War of the Austrian Succession when a 5 , 000 strong French force under Ulrich Frédéric Woldemar , Comte de Lowendal surprised and captured the town of Ghent in the Austrian Netherlands . The Allied garrison offered little resistance . Coming in the wake of the Battle of Fontenoy , the loss of Ghent proved a shock to the Allies . The town had been used as a major base for the Pragmatic Army since it had assembled in 1742 . It was extremely important as a supply base as its stores had been reserved and not used . A British regiment , including James Wolfe , had left shortly before the fall of the town and narrowly avoided becoming prisoners of war . A column of 4 , 000 to 5 , 000 British , Hanoverian , Dutch and Austrian reinforcements sent by the Duke of Cumberland was defeated by the French at the Battle of Melle with only some 1 , 000 men getting through to Ghent . The city was fully invested and the town was seized on July 11 . Lowendal opened the trenches and sapped towards the citadel . Without hope of relief or reinforcement and with Lowendal strengthened by 15 , 000 the garrison of the citadel was demoralised and fell to a coup de main on July 15 . Some 3 , 000 allied prisoners were taken as well as a vast quantity of mlitary stores . The following year the town was used as a staging point for a French advance which culminated in the Siege of Brussels .
Harbor Defense Museum The Harbor Defense Museum , sometimes called The Caponier , located within the grounds of Fort Hamilton in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn is a 19th century fort , New York City ' s only military museum and one of only seventy military museums in the United States that is funded and operated by the Defense Department . The Caponier , the given name of the building that now houses the museum , was a flank battery whose mission was to protect the main fortress from rear attacks , was originally a small fort within the larger fort , and now serves as the guardian of Fort Hamilton ' s history . Robert E . Lee served at Fort Hamilton in the 1840s , when there was only one Army . Because it was used as a warehouse after it was no longer needed for military purposes , it was better preserved than other parts of the fort . While the museum and fort were in danger of closing in the mid 1990s due to budget cuts , it was preserved due to an agreement between the Fort and the United States Army Center of Military History and preservation efforts of the Fort Hamilton Historic Society . The museum continues to serve an educational role in explaining the history of the evolution of New York Harbor . Fort Hamilton is the " ' second - oldest continuously garrisoned federal post in the nation , ' " second only to West Point and its ties to the community are part of the charm of the museum and the fort . Although The Caponier was always prepared for battle , with a 24 pound cannon aimed at New York Harbor , the fort never experienced a battle . The museum houses an array of artifacts from New York ' s military history including American Revolutionary War relics , uniforms from various wars , old maps of the fort , the post ' s old switchboard , an exhibit on a secret tunnel that connected Fort Hamilton with another base a half - mile away , a Confederate mine and a piece of the net that protected New York Harbor from German U - boat s in World War I . It is also the temporary home of a Bay Ridge time capsule that was unearthed prematurely due to construction .
Governor Blacksnake Tah - won - ne - ahs or Thaonawyuthe ( born between 1737 and 1760 , died 1859 ) , known in English as either Governor Blacksnake or Chainbreaker , was a Seneca war chief , who , along with other Iroquois leaders ( most notably Joseph Brant ) , fought on the side of the British during the American Revolutionary War from 1777 to 1783 , most notably at the Battle of Oriskany . He was born near Seneca Lake in western New York . His birth date has been given variously from circa 1760 to as early as 1737 ( as is claimed on his gravestone , which was erected 1930 , though it also erroneously claims him to have been on the side of the Continental Army during the Revolution ) . The 1737 birthdate would have made him 121 or 122 years old at the time of death ; such an early date seems implausible as no man has been verified to have lived that long . What is known is that Chainbreaker lived an exceptionally long life . He must have been at or near adulthood by the time he became a war chief . After his work on behalf of the British in the Revolutionary War , he became reconciled to the outcome of the war . He fought on the American side in the War of 1812 at the Battle of Fort George . He carried messages for the British on a trail that passed through today ' s Napoli , New York . Governor Blacksnake " helped save the Oil Spring Reserve , laying the basis of the recently - settled land claim ( June , 2005 ) over Cuba Lake . " In later life , his political influence waned , as younger men of the Seneca assumed control . Cornplanter and Handsome Lake were his maternal uncles . Blacksnake was a member of the Wolf Clan , as were they , whose traditional function for males was to serve as war chiefs . In the matrilineal system of kinship of the Iroquois , a child ' s maternal uncles were very influential , as the child gained social status from his mother ' s clan . Blacksnake died on the Allegany Reservation in Cattaraugus County , New York . He is remembered by the Seneca Nation as " a man of rare intellectual and moral power . "

Oblivious of the outburst of fire his movement drew , Specialist Beagle ran 75 meters across the field to the new casualty . he pulled the soldier to a partially protected position behind a rice paddy dike , but at times was forced to shield the man ' s body with his own while he treated him . Since the hostile fire became very intense , he grabbed the wounded man ' s weapon and tried to silence some of the hostile positions . When another soldier came to relieve him , he finished his treatment , then ran again across the open paddies to the first casualty . As medical evacuation helicopters arrived , Specialist Beagle once more crossed the fields of fire to ensure that the wounded men were safely evacuated . Some of his comrades began to feel the effects of their strenuous exertions in the afternoon heat . Specialist Beagle assembled them and began to build a shelter to protect them from the sun . As he stood up to secure a corner of the shelter , he was mortally wounded . Specialist Four Beagle extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty , at the cost of his life , were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself , his unit , and the United States Army .
