calvin john ward was born on october 30, 1899 in greene county, tennessee and lived in morristown, tennessee. ward entered active duty with the united states army's 117th regiment from the tennessee national guard during world war i. on october 8, 1918 during the meuse-argonne offensive, ward's company was stopped near estrées, france by a german machine gun position. ward and sergeant james ernest karnes, deciding they had "had all they could take" of this situation, fixed bayonets, charged and captured the position. this freed their company to advance against german lines in the last major offensive of the war. both men received the medal of honor for extraordinary heroism in this action. <SEP> Later in the 19th century, the navy recovered and became the second finest in the world after the Royal Navy. It conducted a successful blockade of Mexico in the Pastry War of 1838 and obliterated the Chinese navy at the Battle of Foochow in 1884. It also served as an effective link between the growing parts of the French empire. At the onset of the war, the French -- with 16 battleships, 6 cruisers, and 24 destroyers -- had the largest fleet in the Mediterranean. French defeats in the early stages of World War II, however, forced the British to destroy the French navy at Mers - el - Kebir in order to prevent its fall to the Germans. The navy performed well during World War I, in which it mainly protected the naval lanes in the Mediterranean Sea. Currently, French naval doctrine calls for two aircraft carriers, but the French currently only have one, the Charles de Gaulle, due to restructuring. The navy is in the midst of some technological and procurement changes; newer submarines are under construction and Rafale aircraft (the naval version) are currently replacing older aircraft. <SEP> In Canada, Prison Break was broadcast on Global one hour before it aired on Fox, except in the Maritimes where it aired two hours before Fox's airing.

The German Army came within 70 km (43 mi) of Paris but at the First Battle of the Marne (6 -- 12 September), French and British troops were able to force a German retreat by exploiting a gap which appeared between the 1st and 2nd Armies, ending the German advance into France. Following this German retirement, the opposing forces made reciprocal outflanking manoeuvres, known as the Race for the Sea and quickly extended their trench systems from the Swiss frontier to the North Sea. The territory occupied by Germany held 64 percent of French pig - iron production, 24 percent of its steel manufacturing and 40 percent of the coal industry -- dealing a serious blow to French industry. <SEP> commissioned in the royal garrison artillery on 9 october 1914, russell served on the western front during world war i, where he was twice wounded, won the military cross, and in 1918 was promoted acting major. after the war he and his wife returned to australia and lived at sandringham in melbourne, close to the royal melbourne golf club.
