With the war destroying villages and half the province the king calls on his allies to come to his aid. From various spies the lego eagles soldiers learn of the black falcons main camp. A days journey leads them to the falcons camp. Black falcon archers call out, We are under attack!! Soldiers from both side charge at each other with a thunderous roar. The battle is quick sending the black falcons to fall back to higher ground to escape total defeat.
The class has dropped its books. The janitor’s
disturbed some wasps, broomed the nest
straight off the roof. It lies outside, exotic
as a fallen planet, a burst city of the poor;
its newsprint halls, its ashen, tiny rooms
all open to the air. The insects’ buzz
is low-key as a smart machine. They group,
regroup, in stacks and coils, advance
and cross like pulsing points on radar screens.
And though the boys have shaven heads
and football strips, and would, they swear,
enlist at once, given half a chance,
march down Owen’s darkening lanes
to join the lads and stuff the Boche --
they don’t rush out to pike the nest,
or lap the yard with grapeshot faces.
They watch the wasps through glass,
silently, abashed, the way we all watch war.
The Marma is a people living on the Hill Tracts of eastern Bangladesh, near the border with Myanmar. They are buddhist and they have Burmese origins. For these reasons there have been tensions between them and the Bangladeshi government, and now the area where they live is under the military control.
....Here we are, standing at a door step of peace.
A war in which difference between a soldier and a civilian were nonexistent is now over.
This day, the 25th of September 2023 will be remembered as begging of a new age of humanity......

War Memorial on the High Street, Royal Wootton Bassett dedicated to those from the town who list their lives in the two World Wars. Erected in 2001 as a result of a millennium project following fundraising by local people. The design, by a local school student, followed a design competition run by the fundraising committee.

This Civil War Era Cannon sits near the entrance to the Liendo Plantation House near Hempstead, Texas. The cannons memorialize the role that the plantation played in the in Texas' Civil War history. With the out break of the Civil War and the decision of Texas to join the Confederacy Mr.Leonard Groce, the plantation's owner, allowed some of his land to be used by the Army of the Confederacy. Camp Groce was established at Liendo, where cavalry, artillery, and infantry were recruited and trained in the early war years.
The Camp was converted to a prisoner of war camp in June of 1863 to house Union troops captured at the battle in the battles of Galveston (January 1,1863) and Sabine Pass (January 21,1863) and moved there from the State Prison in Huntsville. After the second battle of Sabine Pass (September 8,1863), the prisoner population swelled to more than 400 officers, soldiers, and sailors. At first most prisoners lived in an open clearing, but in October 1863 a stockade was built to enclose them.
In November 1863 Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith issued an order that all Union enlisted men held prisoner in Texas be sent to Shreveport, Louisiana, for exchange. Accordingly, most of the prisoners at Camp Groce left for Camp Ford at Tyler, and the stockade was virtually empty for five months. The prison’s population increased again in May 1864, when about 150 Union officers, soldiers, and sailors arrived as captives from the battle of Calcasieu Pass in southwest Louisiana. In August 1864 about 500 additional Union prisoners were transferred from Camp Ford to Camp Groce, the largest number to arrive at one time during the camp’s existence.
In September 1864 a serious yellow fever epidemic broke out near the stockade, and the entire prison population was evacuated into the surrounding area. For approximately a month, many of the prisoners were held at Camp Felder, which was located about seven miles north of Chappell Hill, Texas, in Washington County. At Camp Felder the prisoners were kept out in the open in a valley between two hills in unusually wet weather and suffered far greater hardship than had been the rule at Camp Groce. At the end of October the prisoners were returned to Camp Groce where they remained until December 1864 when they were evacuated by rail to Galveston and released to the Union fleet. By war’s end Camp Groce held approximately 1,100 Union soldiers and sailors as prisoners of war. For a short time it served as a Confederate Army separation center at the end of the war.
The last Chapter in Liendo’s Civil war history came after the war ended when Camp Groce and The Liendo Plantation was home to Union Troops. From September 1 to December 1, 1865, the plantation was the camping place of Gen. George A. Custer and his command. At the end of the war Custer was assigned to duty in Texas as part of Gen. Philip H. Sheridan's effort to prevent Confederate retrenchment in Mexico under the emperor Maximilian. During an uneventful five-month stay in Hempstead Custer alienated many in his command by strict enforcement of regulations prohibiting foraging, lawlessness, and destruction of private property; by the same enforcement he won the gratitude of many Texans, who found him a generous and courtly soldier. One of the beneficiaries of Custer’s policies was The Liendo Plantation. It is said that both Mr. Custer and his wife were so impressed with the plantation and the gracious hospitality shown to them during their stay, that they made sure Liendo was not harmed in way in appreciation.
The Civil War History is told each year during The Civil War Weekend help in November at the Plantation.
