The use of mascots in the British Army began in the 18th century when regiments used animals to work with them, bringing luck, strength and moral. Now they are treated in many ways like any other soldier and share the camaraderie and danger of their human colleagues.
The British Army has both official and unofficial mascots. Unofficial mascots are fed and housed at regimental expense or taken ‘on the strength’. Official mascots are entitled to the services of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps and looked after with public money.
Official mascots also have a regimental number and rank. As with human soldiers, they can even be promoted and demoted!
Some of these mascots have connections to their regiment's home county. Others symbolise part of their unit's history.

Taken on a wet sunday, this Polish built MiG-15 (known as a Lim-2) has been displayed on this plinth near a roundabout in Warka since 2014. Prior to that, it had been shown atop a more dramatic stand in the centre of the town, apparently since 1969.
I'm unsure of why Warka has been blessed with this aircraft - the plaque suggests it honours 1PLM (1st fighter aviation regiment) that over time were located at several places, but not in this locality it seems.

Wounds of Five Battles.
“Washington City, Dec 29. One who saw the remains of Gen. Logan Monday morning, the embalmers having completed their work and the body being ready for the casket, describes its appearance as being lifelike and but little wasted. Eugenie Pedou and Miss Sophie S. Verdi have taken a plaster cast of the features of Gen. Logan. Those who prepared Gen. Logan's body for burial observed that he bore on his body the wounds of five battles for his country. One of these, in the spine, which has often given him trouble, is believed to have increased the tendency of the disease to fix the seat of its vital energy in the brain.”

GEN. LOGAN DEAD.
John A. Logan, the Distinguished Soldier and Statesman, Cold in Death.
Surrounded by His Devoted Wife and Friends, He Peacefully Passed to the Great Beyond.
WASHINGTON. Special Telegram, Dec. 26-
Death of Gen. Logan
His Last Hours
“At three minutes of 3 o'clock to-day the soul of John A. Logan, patriot, soldier and senator, passed to his rest. The wife and children with whose life his own was so closely knit were by his bedside, and received the last flickers of intelligent recognition that his pain-racked brain was permitted to give…..
The lurking tendency to brain complications, which had been present in a greater or less degree, and constantly increasing in severity during his entire illness, had prepared his friends to expect the worst The racking pains which he suffered during the early days of his illness yielded to treatment, but left him in a weak and exhausted condition from which he never rallied, and upon which the fever preyed with increasing violence until the hour of his death….. While the public has been aware for a week or more that Gen. Logan was confined to his room with rheumatism, many even of his most intimate friends were as late as yesterday afternoon unsuspicious of the serious character of the attack, and to the masses the announcement in this morning's papers that the statesman lay at death's door brought a shock of sorrowful surprise….
WAR AND CIVIL RECORD.
John A. Logan was born in Jackson county, Ill., Feb. 9, 1820. His early life was spent in that county, where he obtained some education from his father and such school teachers as chanced to teach in the district. At the outbreak of the Mexican war young Logan volunteered and was chosen a lieutenant in a company of the First Illinois infantry. As a soldier he did good service, and was for some time adjutant of his regiment. In the fall of 1848, upon his return home, he commenced the study of law in the office of his uncle, Alexander M. Jenkins, formerly lieutenant governor of Illinois. In November, 1849, he was elected clerk of Jackson county. In 1850 he attended a course of law lectures at Louisville, Ky., receiving his diploma in 1851, when he entered into practice with his uncle. The following year he was elected prosecuting attorney of the Third judicial district, and in the fall of the same year he was chosen to the state legislature, to which position he was three times reelected. In 1850 he was presidential elector on the Democratic ticket for the Ninth congressional district, and voted for James Buchanan for president Two years later he was elected a member of congress from the same district, receiving 15,878 votes against 2,796 for Phillips, Republican. At the next election he was returned by 21,381 votes as against 5,439 for Linegar, Republican. In the campaign of 1860 he gave his ardent support to Stephen A. Douglas.
IN THE WAR.
Mr. Logan attended the called session of congress in July, 1861, and immediately afterward joined the troops going to the front. He was in the first battle of Bull Run, and among the last to leave the field. Returning to his home Sept 1, he assisted in raising troops, and Sept 13 the Thirty-first regiment of Illinois infantry was organized with Logan commissioned as colonel. The first engagement in which he and his command participated was the battle of Belmont, in November of the same year, when his ability as a commander, and his dash and intrepidity, foreshadowed the fact that he was to play a conspicuous part in the operations of the army. He was present at the battle of Fort Donelson, where he received a severe wound, and did not rejoin his command until some weeks afterward, on the evening of the last day of the battle of Shiloh. On March 3, 1862, he was made brigadier general, and participated in the siege of Corinth as commander of the First brigade in Gen. Judah's division of the right wing of the army, and for his valiant services was publicly thanked by Gen. Sherman in his official report.
When the attempt to take Vicksburg began in the fall of 1862 Gen. Logan was in command of the First division of the right wing of the Thirteenth corps. On the arrival of the command at Memphis, Dec. 31, 1862, the Seventh army corps was organized, and on Jan. 11, 1863, Gen. Logan was assigned to the Third division, in which position he remained until the fall of Vicksburg, when he was assigned to the command of the Fifteenth army corps in the movements about Vicksburg from February, 1863, until July 4, when Gen. Pemberton surrendered, Gen. Logan with his command was actively engaged, and it was through a number of brilliant movements by him that important advantages over the enemy were gained and the final result hastened. He was selected by Gen. Grant for consultation during the interviews with Gen. Pemberton looking to the terms of the surrender, and in consideration of his admirable services Gen. Logan's command was ordered to take the lead in the march into Vicksburg, July 4, after which he was given the command of that post, which he retained until placed in command of the Fifteenth corps, Nov. 14, 1863.
During the latter part of December and January Gen. Logan organized an expedition into Northern Alabama. In the Atlanta campaign his corps was a part of McPherson's command, which, as Gen. Sherman said, was the snapper to the whip with which he proposed to punish the enemy. During the movement Logan was conspicuously at the front, and the forces under his immediate command bore an important part in all actions and maneuvers that resulted finally in the taking possession of Atlanta and the surrounding strongholds of the Confederate forces at Dallas, as at Resaca, Gen. Logan's command was in the front, and the desperation with which the men under him fought showed their implicit confidence in their commander to lead them to victory even under the most perilous circumstances.
FROM ATLANTA TO THE SEA.
On July 22, 1864, Logan, as commander of the Fifteenth army corps, was ordered in pursuit of the enemy south of Atlanta In the hard-fought battle that followed Gen. McPherson was killed, and Gen. Logan succeeded him in command of the Army of the Tennessee. The success of the battle was accorded to Logan by Gen. Sherman's official report. The battle of July 28, which followed, was another hotly contested fight, in which Logan's command was equally conspicuous and successful. At Jonesboro, Aug. 29, he was again In advance, and, seeing the necessity of prompt action, without waiting for orders he pushed forward and saved the bridge across Flint river, went into a fortified position within a mile and a half of Jonesboro, fought a sharp battle and won a decided victory. On Jan. 20, 1865, the campaign of the Carolinas commenced, the movements being for the purpose of encountering Johnson's Army of the Potomac. This march was full of peril and privations, in all of which Gen. Logan was with his men day and night, wading swamps and streams, and enduring all that the men of his corps were called on to suffer. The command moved on, driving the enemy at every point, passing through Columbia, Goldsborough and Lafayetteville, until it reached Raleigh, near which the surrender of Johnson took place, and the campaign was closed.
After the close of the war Gen. Logan was offered the position of minister to Mexico, but declined. In 1866 he was elected to congress as a Republican from the state at large in Illinois by a majority of 55,987, and in the Fortieth congress was one of the managers of the impeachment of President Johnson. In the next, the Forty-first congress, Logan began to make his mark in various kinds of legislative work. In 1870 Logan was elected by the Illinois legislature to the United States senate to succeed Richard Yates. After serving his term he was defeated by the Independents who united upon the Hon. David Davis as his successor, but he was again elected to succeed Oglesby in 1879. He was a candidate for president in the Republican national convention in 1884, and after the choice of Mr. Blaine was unanimously nominated for vice president. He took an active part in all the legislation of the senate, and introduced many useful bills. His efforts for the soldiers were unremitting. The general was the fortunate possessor of a charming wife, whose efforts contributed materially to the success of his public career.”

The Vienna Militia (Wiener Bürger-Corps)
The citizens of Vienna or simply those who had no more military duties and were free from 1805-06 enlisted in the special Militia Corps of the city. This was a traditional very ancient corps (since the 1529 turkish siege) which originally had 4 companies, each with the name of a Vienna district (canton) Stuben, Schotten, Widmer and Kärnthen. The enlistment was only for volunteers, who swore to defend the city in case of hostile attack or danger. The Militia had also its own cavalry, which was abandoned in 1740 but again raised in 1805.
The City Council (the Mayor was also the Oberst of the Militia) armed its soldiers, but they had to provide to the uniforms by themselves.

Special Operations Regiment (SOR) assaulters also routinely trained with the National Mission Unit. Here, assaulters conduct CQB training under the watchful eyes from operators from the National Mission Unit.
The Special Operations Regiment, consists of nine companies, provide high readiness, agile and robust force capable of supporting and conducting a broad range of operation missions. The regiment’s specialized skills enable them to perform a variety of operations: the primary operations are to execute direct action raids in hostile or sensitive environments worldwide. Besides direct-action raids, the regiment’s other missions include airfield seizure, special reconnaissance, personnel recovery, clandestine insertion, and site exploitation. The regiment can deploy a battalion within eighteen hours of alert notification.
To maintain readiness, assaulters of the regiment train constantly. Special Operations Assaulters focus on marksmanship, physical training, medical training, small unit tactics and mobility.
