Battle of Trindade The Battle of Trindade was a single - ship action fought during the First World War on 14 September 1914 off the coast of the Brazilian island of Trindade between the Imperial German Navy and the British Royal Navy . Battle . The German auxiliary cruiser " Cap Trafalgar " was steaming in South American waters on her commerce raiding mission when she came across several German colliers , trapped in the region by the Allied navies in the Western approaches . " Cap Trafalgar " , in need of supplies , was led to the Trindade and Martim Vaz islands where the Germans had established a small , hidden supply base . " Cap Trafalgar " arrived at the base on September 14 , giving away her position early that morning by smoke from her steam engines . The British auxiliary cruiser " Carmania " , a former ocean liner which was designed to fight merchant vessels and small enemy warships , noticed the smoke and moved to engage . Coincidentally , the " Cap Trafalgar " , also intended for use against enemy merchant fleets , had been altered to resemble the " Carmania " ; some accounts wrongly claimed that both ships were disguised as each other . " Carmania " moved into Trindade ' s only sheltered anchorage , surprising " Cap Trafalgar " and two enemy colliers . Both the British and German commanders believed that in order to obtain a decisive victory , they would need more space to maneuver their ships . They steamed several miles into open sea before turning into each other and commencing hostilities . " Carmania " fired the first shots , which fell short , thus allowing " Cap Trafalgar " to give out the first hit . For some ninety minutes the two ships fought a gunnery duel , they also used machine guns to target each other ' s crew . At first the German fire was more effective . Eventually , as the two ships closed to within a few hundred yards of each other , British shots became more accurate and fires began to spread aboard the German raider . " Carmania " received most of the hits during the fight , 73 hits in total . Her bridge was completely destroyed and she had taken hits below the waterline . However , just when things began to look dire for the British , the " Cap Trafalgar " turned away and began lowering life rafts , having been holed below the waterline and taking on water . She soon sank . The German colliers were able to rescue 279 German sailors from the sea and rafts . Between 16 and 51 of the crew are cited by different sources as killed in action or drowned . " Carmania " s crew suffered 9 dead and several wounded , and the ship was severely damaged . Aftermath . After receiving " Cap Trafalgar ' s " distress call , the SMS " Kronprinz Wilhelm " arrived near the battle scene . Fearing a British attack , assuming the " Cap Trafalgar " had already been sunk , and not knowing the poor condition of " Carmania " , she turned around and steamed away . The day after the battle , " Carmania " was rescued and escorted to the port of Pernambuco . The surviving Germans were dropped off by the colliers in Montevideo .
Henri Hay De Slade Capitaine ( later Colonel ) Henri Joseph Marie Hay de Slade was a World War I flying ace credited with 19 aerial victories . Hay de Slade came from a military family ; his father was a naval officer who died in 1908 . Hay de Slade began his own military career as a cadet at Saint Cyr in 1913 . He transferred to aviation on 13 May 1916 , and received his pilot ' s certificate in August of that year . After further training , he was assigned to Escadrille 80 on 13 December 1916 .

He closed out 1917 as an ace ; on 5 December , he scored his fifth victory . He would score six more times with Escadrille 86 , with his last one coming on 21 July 1918 . One week later , he was assigned to command Escadrille 159 . It was an unenviable assignment ; the squadron had lost 13 pilots , including its former commander , without scoring a single triumph in return . Hay de Slade took instant action . He painted bold red stripes around the fuselage of his Spad S . XIII , and told his pilots to watch his tactics in dogfights . The squadron learned by watching him , and began to score . Hay de Slade , despite his new duties , scored two wins each in August and September , and closed out his victory roll with double triumphs on 1 and 10 October 1918 . His final tally was 16 enemy aircraft and three observation balloons . Hay de Slade remained in the " Armee de l ' Air " , and eventually retired as a colonel . References .

Chiliarch Chiliarch ( from , " chiliarchos " / " chiliarches " , meaning " commander of a thousand " ) is a military rank dating back to Antiquity . The term was first used by Ancient Greek writers to render the Persian title " hazarapatish " , commander of 1 , 000 men in the Achaemenid Empire ' s army . In addition , the title was used for an officer who played an important role in the Achaemenid court , the commander of the 1 , 000 - strong personal bodyguard of the Achaemenid kings , the " melophoroi " , drawn from the ranks of the Immortals . The latter often played a role analogous to that of a vizier in later times . The latter office was adopted by Alexander the Great , first awarded to Hephaestion and after Hephaestion ' s death to Perdiccas . In addition , the commander of the Companion cavalry also bore the title of chiliarch , and the title was later adopted for commanders of a regiment formed of two pentakosiarchies of 512 men each . The rank continued in use in later ages : Greek writers wrote of " chiliarchs " when referring to the Roman legionary tribunes , and in the Byzantine army , the title was used as an alternative to that of the " droungarios " and the " taxiarch es " . Later still , during the Greek Revolution , the title was given as a rank to significant " kapetans " , leaders of the irregular bands that made up most of the Greek rebels ' army .

Battle of La Roche - l ' Abeille The Battle of La Roche - l ' Abeille occurred on 25 June 1569 between the Catholic forces of King Charles IX of France commanded by the Duke d ’ Anjou and the Huguenots commanded by the Admiral de Coligny during the " Third War " ( 1568 – 1570 ) of the French Wars of Religion . Background . The Third War of Religion saw an uprising of the Protestants and the creation of an army under the command of Louis I de Bourbon , prince de Condé . This army had laid siege to several cities in the Poitou region , and then Angoulême and Cognac . At the Battle of Jarnac ( 16 March 1569 ) , the Prince de Condé was killed , forcing Admiral de Coligny to take command . In order to attack the royal army , Coligny directed the Protestant army toward the Limousin region , hoping thus to regroup with 14 , 000 mercenaries being led by the Duke of Zweibrücken ( ) and financed by Queen Elizabeth of England . After a brief fight with a detachment of the royal army , the Duke of Zweibrücken was able to cross the Vienne at Aixe , but died on 11 June at Nexon . The Protestant army and the Duke of Zweibrücken ' s mercenaries were able to regroup at Châlus , for a total of 25 , 000 men . The royal army of 29 , 500 troops , led by the Duke d ’ Anjou ( the future Henry III ) were stationed before Saint - Yrieix to protect the city . The battle . The Protestant army surprised the royal troops , and this gave them the initial advantage . The colonel - general of the royal infantry , Philippe Strozzi , was however able to temporarily save the situation , before an attack by Coligny – threatening to encircle the army – forced the royal troops to retreat before the Protestants . Aftermath . Coligny ' s victory was far from being decisive , but it allowed him to open a route toward the Périgord region . The Protestant army took few prisoners , the most famous being the colonel - general Philippe Strozzi . In the days that followed , the Protestant army massacred hundreds of people throughout the Limousin and Périgord regions , including 500 infantry men at La Roche - l ' Abeille and 250 peasants at La Chapelle - Faucher , as retribution for the death of Condé and Paulon de Mauvans . That fall , the Battle of Moncontour ( October 30 , 1569 ) would see the Huguenots defeated and Catholic forces participating in similar massacres against the defeated .
