The precise date the unit was disbanded is not known, but it was before the end of the war.
This action was fought between supporters of King David II of Scotland and English-backed invaders supporting Edward Balliol on 11 August 1332. The first major battle of the Second War of Scottish Independence, Balliol's largely English force of 1,500 landed in Fife and marched on Perth, the Scottish capital. The Scottish forces -- estimated to have been between 15,000 and 40,000 -- were routed, Perth fell, and Balliol was crowned King of Scotland.
Tecumseh (c. 1768 – 1813) was a Shawnee chief and warrior who organised resistance to the expansion of the United States onto Native American lands. Well-travelled, Tecumseh promoted inter-tribal unity and established a Native American confederacy. His efforts ended with his death in the War of 1812 but he became a folk hero in American, Indigenous, and Canadian culture.
This article is about a former US Army installation and National Historic Landmark District located in San Angelo, Texas. Established in 1867, the fort was home to the 4th Cavalry and later the "Buffalo Soldiers" of the 10th Cavalry. It was abandoned in 1889 and over the next 20 years was used for housing and businesses. Preservation efforts began in the 1900s and the fort became a National Historic Landmark on July 4, 1961.
The NUFF was a Marxist revolutionary group in Trinidad and Tobago that fought a guerrilla campaign in the early 1970s to overthrow the government of Prime Minister Eric Williams. Training at a camp in south Trinidad, the group attacked police posts for weapons, robbed banks, and carried out an insurgency. The government eventually killed or captured most of its leadership; 18 NUFF members and 3 policemen were killed in the campaign.
Armenian genocide denial is the claim that the Ottoman Empire never committed genocide against its Armenian citizens during World War I, despite the evidence to the contrary. The genocide was denied even as it was carried out, with the claim that Armenians were resettled for military reasons, not exterminated, and that the Armenians were guilty of aggression. Historian Ronald Grigor Suny sums up the argument as: "There was no genocide, and the Armenians were to blame for it."
Nowak is an American aeronautical engineer, former US Navy captain, test pilot, and NASA astronaut. Joining the Navy in 1981 with the goal of becoming an astronaut, she logged over 1,500 hours flight time. Nowak was selected for NASA in 1996 and was a member of the STS-121 space shuttle mission 10 years later. An incident in which she attacked a USAF officer in 2007 led to a criminal conviction, and the end of her NASA and naval careers.
This action was part of the larger Battle of Crete. British, Australian and Greek forces defeated two German parachute landings near Heraklion on 20 and 21 May. Unlike the force at Rethymo, the troops at Heraklion were evacuated by sea on the night of 28/29 May. Nominator Gog noted in the nomination statement that "both sides achieved/suffered Pyrrhic victories".
Note: Unusually, fewer than half of last month's FAs went trough MilHist ACR before achieving the bronze star, namely Nichols's Missouri Cavalry Regiment, Lisa Nowak, and Battle of Heraklion.
