Details about P. Schmaling’s life have been frustratingly elusive. As a senior non-comissioned officer (Vizewachtmeister) with Landwehrbezirk Stargard, he was elevated in 1896 to being a Offizier in the Reserve-Artillerie. Schmaling was with FAR18 until 1901 when he became part of the Feldartillerie-Schießschule Reserve in Jüterbog. In 1904, Schmaling became part of the Landwehr and eventually left the service in 1911. After the outbreak of the Great War, Schmaling returned to the service, becoming a Oberleutnant der Landwehr of Landsturm-Infanterie-Bataillon Neusalz an Oder in 1915 and then a Hauptmann der Landwehr of Train-Ersatz-Abteilung Nr. 5 in 1916. Sadly, almost nothing else about him, even his first name, are yet known.

The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces National Memorial, which is located at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, commemorates those members of the Regiment and Airborne Forces who have died on active service since 1940 and provides a place of pilgrimage, particularly to those who have lost family members overseas in inaccessible countries.
Around one thousand people attended the dedication ceremony on Friday 13 July 2012, including His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, as the Colonel-in-Chief of The Parachute Regiment.
The five-metre-tall bronze memorial depicting Bellerophon mounted on Pegasus, with his spear in hand, together with a paratrooper pulling his Bergan up the mount to the statue, took sculptors Charlie Langton and Mark Jackson two years to complete.

Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment training with Norwegian forces during exercise joint Viking.
C Company of 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment (2 PARA) are deployed on Exercise JOINT VIKING in Bardufoss, northern Norway.
Ex JOINT VIKING, running until 15 Mar 23, is a military winter exercise held in Norway every second year. Its main purpose is to train the Norwegian Armed Forces in its main task: defending Norway. It includes land, sea, and air forces from across the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF).
The UK-led JEF consists of ten countries, eight of which are also NATO members; Finland and Sweden await ratification.
Ex JOINT VIKING provides opportunities to enhance multi-domain interoperability and unit readiness, in addition to training to operate efficiently with Allies in arduous winter conditions.
Approximately 11,800 personnel are taking part; in addition to 2PARA, participants include the Norwegian Armed Forces and the United States Marine Corps (USMC).
The last time 2PARA operated with USMC was in Kabul eighteen months ago on Operation PITTING, working to evacuate over 15,000 NATO-affiliated Afghans to safety.
The Colchester-based Parachute Regiment’s core role as part of 16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team, the British Army’s Global Response Force, is to deploy at short notice by parachute, helicopter, or air landing.

Exercise Joint Warrior tests Army’s ability to react
The British Army’s rapid reaction force has demonstrated the unique reach and agility that its specialist air manoeuvre capabilities provide to the military.
An aviation assault to capture the airfield at Kinloss Barracks marked 16 Air Assault Brigade’s arrival on Exercise Joint Warrior, the biggest annual military exercise in Europe.
Troops from the 3 PARA Battlegroup landed at Kinloss in Chinook, Merlin and Puma 2 support helicopters, protected by Apache attack helicopters, to assault the airfield. Once secured, more troops and heavier equipment were delivered throughout the day by C-130 Hercules transport aircraft.
Airfield capture is a key skill required for the brigade’s role as the Air Assault Task Force, which is ready to deploy anywhere in the world at short notice to conduct the full range of military operations from non-combatant evacuation operations to warfighting.

1 Squadron RAF Regiment Training in Cyprus.
The terrain in Cyprus has offered 1 Squadron Force Protection the opportunity to train in the heat and on the rough ground that is similar to that found to many of the airfields on which the RAF Regiment operate.
They have conducted section attacks as part of a training programme that will reach Flight level, before their return to the UK.
Not only does the section attack practice gunners in identify and neutralising a threat as quickly as possible but it also trains Junior Commanders to manage workforce, ammunition levels, timings and hones their ability to make decisions under pressure.
1 Squadron Force Protection have been conducting Ground Extraction Force (GEF) Exercises as part of an ongoing Joint Personnel Recovery (JPR) serial that will continue on return to the UK.
The challenging exercise tested the 1 Sqn Flights on planning, deploying, and finding and recovering isolated personnel in a challenging environment..

I bought an interesting book for £1 in Heathfield today. It is called The Transvaal in War and Peace by Neville Edwards. Published in 1900 by H Virtue and Co. It mainly concerns itself with the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902 ) which was obviously still in progress when the book was published so much of it is written in an immediate style, much in the present tense. Anyway..one image was of the Wiltshire Regiment and I know there is some interest by the Swindon Local History people on flickr so I am posting this one up.
The Wiltshires took some heavy casualties during the Boer War apparently a couple of companies were cut off and captured and some of the men pictured here have references on the net.
Major Francis Richard MacMullen (seated second from left middle row) from the 2nd Wiltshire Regiment Died of wounds at Rensburg Siding on 15th February 1900 at the age of 44. He was born in May 1855.
