Oystercatchers are one of my favourite waders – Smart and regimented, with their black and white livery and piping calls .On the beach at Dungeness they seem to live on a diet of cockles and sand worms ,The Eurasian oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus) also known as the common pied oystercatcher, or palaearctic oystercatcher
Another from a great day at New Brighton, which did in fact require regimental timing to capture the shots we wanted. The birds are turnstones which had flocked to the shoreline ready for the harvest which awaited them. I don't mind their silhouettes, it adds something.

" Shortly after we left the war torn planet of Atraken and returned to the Republic cruiser Endurance, I received my platoon's... or rather my next assignment. My orders were to select three troopers from my platoon and then report to the Internal Security Bureau on Coruscant. There we would be briefed on an under cover mission with the objective of infiltrating the bounty hunter guild which appeared to be thriving within Coruscant's lower levels. This mission would be dangerous probably the most dangerous one the Republic has thrown at the 253rd, we weren't going up against battle droids this time instead we would be going up against ruthless and trained killers. Originally I planned on going solo on this one, but I eventually agreeded to let Lucky tag along. After a quick visit to the Endurance's armory Lucky and I no longer looked like the disciplined faceless soldiers we were meant to be. Instead of our standard shiny white armor we wore a mix of cloth and steel.
It was here in the armory where an angry Rook confronted me about me decision to bench the rest of the platoon. Though no matter how compelling his argument was my decision stayed the same. We had just barley made it off Atraken without a signal casualtie and there was no way in hell that I was going to risk loosing anyone on the Republic's homeworld..."

111th New York Infantry Regiment
The 111th New York was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by Colonel Clinton D. MacDougall, a banker from Auburn originally from Scotland. He was wounded on July 3rd, and Lieutenant Colonel Isaac M. Lusk took command until he, too was wounded. Captain Aaron P. Seeley then took over the regiment.
The 111th, along with its sister regiments in the brigade, had been branded as the “Harpers Ferry cowards” for their surrender – through no fault of their own – as part of the garrison of Harper’s Ferry during the Antietam campaign in 1862. Paroled but forced to spend a miserable winter in a Union prisoner of war camp in Chicago until exchanged, the brigade was looking for a chance to clear their name – and got their wish at Gettysburg.

Like soldiers invading a beach front, these iron pilings are planted on the shallow area of Lake Michigan, presumably to buffer the strong waves that hit the beach during windy days.
The 29th Scottish Regiment, "Enemy kens me naught" was drafted from Aberdeen and intended to carry out scouting missions and front line aid to other battalions.

Shown: Sabre Mark V
The Canadair Sabre was a jet fighter aircraft built by Canadair under licence from North American Aviation. A variant of the North American F-86 Sabre, it was produced until 1958 and used primarily by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) until replaced with the Canadair CF-104 in 1962. Several other air forces also operated the aircraft. In 1948, the Canadian government decided to re-equip the RCAF with the F-86 Sabre with Canadair contracted to produce them in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. An initial batch of 10 aircraft was ordered for tool verification. The Korean War changed this to a production batch of 100 aircraft. Canadair slowly built up its production facility to make all components with related equipment obtained from other Canadian suppliers. Canadair gave the Sabre the project number CL-13. Canadair produced six versions of the CL-13 Sabre. The sole Sabre Mk.1 was essentially the same as the North American Sabre F-86A. It had a General Electric J47-GE-13 turbojet of 5,200 lbf (23 kN) thrust. The Sabre Mk.2 had the same engine, although after the first 20 aircraft were produced, the remainder of the production run was distinguished in having power-assisted controls and an "all-flying" tailplane. The sole Sabre Mk 3 was the first of the Canadian Sabres to use the Avro Canada Orenda turbojet (Orenda 3 with 6,000 lbf (27 kN) thrust). The Sabre Mk.4 retained the General Electric engine and was destined for the RAF and was later passed on to other overseas air forces. The Sabre Mk.5 was the next production version, equipped with an Orenda 10 with 6,500 lbf (29 kN) thrust. A change to the Orenda 14 with 7,440 lbf (33 kN) powered the Sabre Mk.6. The designation Sabre Mk.7 was mainly experimental. The last Sabre to be manufactured by Canadair (Sabre #1815), after being donated by the Pakistan Air Force, is now part of the permanent collection in the Western Canada Aviation Museum (WCAM) in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[citation needed] From 1950 to 1958, a total of 1,815 CL-13 Sabres were built at the Canadair plant in Montreal.

"... Mas pobre de seu marido
que escapou de tanta bala,
de tanta ponta de faca
em tantas revoluções!
Esta pena levaria,
decerto, no seu caixão:
- não ter morrido peleando,
de pingo alçado na rédea
e a espada firme na mão ..."

This sculpture at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire is dedicated to the soldiers of the Parachute Regiment and associated airborne units. It features the winged horse Pegasus ridden by Bellerophon, the official symbol of the Parachute Regiment. It was officially unveiled by HRH Charles, The Prince of Wales, in July 2012.
Quite the vivid description! The 126th Infantry Regiment is a Michigan-based infantry unit established in 1855. It was sent to France in WW1 at first for supply missions, but quickly got called into battle. August was one of 15 officers and 335 men in battles near Marne. The "undone" nature of the emerging headstone probably is a Christian symbol denoting his early death and that he had more work to do in his life. Trinity Cemetery, Manistee, Michigan.

Monument to the King's Liverpool Regiment. 1905. Sir W. Goscombe John. White stone with central bronze wreath, helmet, flag, sword etc, a standing soldier at each side, and figure of Britannia on central pedestal. Drummer boy at rear. Commemorates the service of the regiment in the South African War.
The King’s Liverpool Regiment monument is the centrepiece of the Gardens. The main frontage of the large Portland stone construction, facing outwards from St George’s Hall, has a bronze statue of Britannia on a plinth, flanking figures of two soldiers representing the Regiment at different periods, and is inscribed on the wall between them with the names of their most recent exploits: Afghanistan (1878-80) and Burma (1885-87), and South Africa (1899-1902). Between them, also in bronze, is a heap of weaponry, flag and a palm leaf, above the several steps to the ground; a wreath is just in front of this, two steps down.
The sculptor was William Goscombe John, and the statue of Britannia is an excellent example of his work at its best. Britannia stands facing slightly downwards, heavily draped over her armour – we see a solid breastplate and chainmail arms emerging form wide sleeves – and wearing a helmet, with tiny boat-wings and a prow at the front, and a crest in the form of a seahorse, all this to recall Britannia’s maritime associations. Little inscribed waves run round this helm, and more swirly waves are on the base of the statue. Her shield on her left arm faces backwards, and she carries an olive branch in her shield hand. Her other hand, rather than holding a sword, is empty, raised, and palm outwards, for this is a Britannia of Peace. There is a tremendous solidity and mass to this statue, so that with the armour, even a peaceful Britannia is rather warlike.
The soldier to our left as we view the monument represents the typical soldier of the Regiment in 1685, with long gun and some sort of narrow sword behind him, and standing in a lively pose, one foot forward, one hand on the low wall. The other soldier, of 1902, has a rifle and a band of bullets over his chest; he stands more at ease, in what is almost a swaggering lounge. Both rest the butts of their guns on the ground, indicative that the battle is won and peace has been achieved.
But this is a three-dimensional memorial, and completely hidden from this side, round the back is one of the most famous Liverpool statues, and a figure which alone would give Goscombe John a claim to greatness as a sculptor. It is the Drummer Boy; a youth seated on a cannon and trophy of flags and so forth, his drum sticks active in his hands, his figure twisted to one side and face serious: a work of immediacy and urgency contrasting with the peacefulness of the other side. The full sized model for this work is on display in the Walker Art Gallery nearby.

The 23rd Regiment Armory is a historic National Guard armory building located at 1322 Bedford Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City.
It was built in 1891-95 and was designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Fowler & Hough, local Brooklyn architects, and Isaac Perry, the architect for New York State, which financed the construction.
The building is a brick and stone castle-like structure designed to be reminiscent of medieval military structures in Europe. It consists of a three-story administration building with an attached drill shed. It is constructed of deep red pressed brick, brownish red Potsdam stone, and red terra cotta detail. It features a series of circular corner towers, the tallest of which is 136 feet in height.
In 1923, the building was rented by William Randolph Hearst for use as studio space for his Cosmopolitan Productions after the company's own facilities were destroyed by a fire on February 19, 1923.
The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1977, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Currently, the building is used as a men's homeless shelter under New York City's Department of Homeless Services.
