Armar Lowry - Corry , 5th Earl Belmore Armar Lowry - Corry , 5th Earl Belmore ( 5 May 1870 – 12 February 1948 ) was an Irish nobleman and the eldest son of Somerset Lowry - Corry , 4th Earl Belmore . Early years . He was born in Government House , Sydney in Australia during his father ' s term as Governor of New South Wales , baptised in Sydney Cathedral and styled Viscount Corry until he succeeded his father in the earldom in 1913 . Education . In 1883 he went to Winchester College and then to Trinity Hall , Cambridge where he graduated in 1891 , after which he became a barrister - at - law at the Inner Temple . He also gained the rank of captain in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers . He held the offices of High Sheriff of County Fermanagh ( 1895 ) and High Sheriff of County Tyrone ( 1901 ) , Justice of the Peace in County Fermanagh and County Tyrone and Deputy Lieutenant of County Fermanagh . Castle Coole . The 5th Earl was in charge of the family ' s ancestral seat , Castle Coole , in County Fermanagh during the Second World War , when all country houses in the county were requisitioned by the armed forces because of the strategic importance of the flying - boat base on Lough Erne . As Mark Bence - Jones explains , " Lord Belmore , an elderly and autocratic bachelor of elephantine build , tried to keep the military out of his own demesne of Castlecoole ( sic ) , but it was discovered that the place was held originally by a Plantation grant which obliged the grantee to help with the defence of the country . So the authorities declared Castlecoole escheated , giving it back to Lord Belmore when the military left . The military did not , however , go into the house , where Lord Belmore lived on undisturbed . Living with Lord Belmore in that palatial classical mansion overlooking a lake inhabited by a flock of greylag geese were his rather sad bachelor brother and his four unmarried sisters , the Ladies Lowry - Corry , with whom he was not on speaking terms . When Lord Belmore first inherited Castlecoole there were eight unmarried sisters living with him there ; since then one had married and three had died - one drowned in the lake and , according to legend , turned into a greylag goose . Lord Belmore and his brother and sisters had always occupied the same places in church , strung out in a line according to age ; there were gaps where the deceased Ladies Lowry - Corry had been , for when they died the survivors had not closed ranks . " Death . He died on 12 February 1948 aged 77 and was succeeded by his only surviving brother .
Abdul Momim During the Civil war in Afghanistan , General Abdul Momim or Abdul Mumin ( ? - January 5 , 1994 ) , was an ethnic Tajik officer who played a crucial role in the downfall of the government of Mohammad Najibullah . In January 1992 he joined Abdul Rashid Dostum to form the Junbish - e Milli - yi Islami - yi Afghanistan . During the 1990s Najibullah ' s regime had grown to rely on pro - government militias to fight the Mujahideen insurgency . Abdul Momim was a trained army officer who had proved capable of winning over members of the insurgency and had been given command of a militia unit . Officially called the 70th division , this unit was based at Hairatan , the strategic border crossing in northern Afghanistan . Despite being nominally loyal to the Kabul regime , Momim used his position to divert supplies to fellow militia leader Abdul Rashid Dostum , while at the same time giving intelligence to guerilla leader Ahmad Shah Massoud . In January 1992 , Najibullah tried to reassert his command over his supply lines by replacing the non - Pashtun militia leaders with Pashtun officers . His first move was to replace Abdul Momim with General Rasul , a Pashtun Khalqi notorious for his brutal tenure as commander of the Pul - e - Charkhi prison . Momim refused to leave his post , and quickly garnered support from Dostum , who arranged an alliance with Ismaili militia commander Sayed Mansur Naderi . This coalition , which became the Junbish - e Milli - yi Islami - yi Afghanistan ( National Islamic Movement of Afghanistan ) , allied with Massoud and overrran much of northern Afghanistan with little fighting . On March 19 , they captured Mazar - i - Sharif . After the demise of Najibullah , a new phase in the civil war began . Momim ' s division was still stationed in Hairatan , but he also had some forces in Kabul . He remained within Junbish , but he also had good relations with Massoud , and in 1993 he began to expand his influence by creating other military units . In January 1994 , he died in a mysterious helicopter crash , which was widely blamed on Dostum . His death came at a time when Junbish ' s Tajik commanders fiercely opposed Dostum ' s decision to ally with Gulbuddin Hekmatyar ' s Hezbi Islami against Massoud . Following Momim ' s death , most of his forces joined Junbish , but some of those stationed in Kabul joined Jamiat - e Islami .
