Moving into position at Wadi Akarit, April 1943, towards the end of the North African campaign. This photograph illustrates the flat landscape over which the battle of El Alamein was fought.
Photo is an exhibit at Gordon Highlanders Museum in Aberdeen:
" For two hundred years this spectacular landscape gave us the men who made one of the finest regiments the British Army has ever seen – The Gordon Highlanders.
Forming the ranks were farmers and fishermen, ghillies and labourers, aristocrats and university students. Ordinary men with an extraordinary sense of duty; all with a story to tell.
These stories are brought to life at The Gordon Highlanders Museum by exploring our Nationally Significant Collection. Guided by our knowledgeable staff and volunteers retrace the remarkable history of these famous fighting men of the North East." [Museum Website]

I don't see many Blue Jay's in Ontario anymore. I hear they are suscetible to West Nile, not sure if this is the reason
Anyway first bad cover post
The original I'll Stand By You The Prentenders (Chrissie Hynde)
This song has been covered a few times and I'm not saying it shouldn't be covered but if someone could point me to someone who's done it well...please do.
A couple of singers that tried and failed
And there are a suprising list of others including Rod Stewart and Patti Labelle
The trick to doing a good cover is bringing something of yourself to the song to make it your own.
Of course Chrissie Hynde is probably too much for most singers to follow
Still is you've heard this covered well by someone,let me know
My godson used to sleep in this same uncomfortable looking position when he was a toddler: leaning on knees and elbows with his head down. About that theory of evolution!!!!
Dunbar Castle was one of the strongest fortresses in Scotland, situated in a prominent position overlooking the harbour of the town of Dunbar, in East Lothian. Several fortifications were built successively on the site, near the English-Scottish border. The last was slighted in 1567; it is a ruin today.
The body of buildings measured in excess of 165 feet (50 m) from east to west, and in some places up to 210 feet (64 m) from north to south. The South Battery, which Grose supposes to have been the citadel or keep, is situated on a detached perpendicular rock, only accessible on one side, 72 feet (22 m) high, and is connected to the main part of the castle by a passage of masonry measuring 69 feet (21 m). The interior of the citadel measures 54 by 60 feet (16 m × 18 m) within the walls. Its shape is octagonal. Five of the gun-ports remain, which are called the 'arrow-holes'. They measure 4 feet (1.2 m) at the mouth and only 16 inches (41 cm) at the other end. The buildings are arched and extend 8 feet (2.4 m) from the outer walls, and look into an open court, whence they derive their light.
About the middle of the fortress, part of a wall remains, through which there is a gateway, surmounted with armorial bearings. This gate seems to have led to the principal apartments. In the centre, are the arms of George, 10th Earl of Dunbar, who succeeded his uncle in 1369, and who besides the earldom of Dunbar and March, inherited the Lordship of Annandale and the Isle of Man from his heroic aunt, Black Agnes of Dunbar. They must have been placed there after his succession, as he was the first who assumed those sculptured Arms: viz, a large triangular shield, and thereon a lion rampant, within a bordure charged with eight roses. The shield is adorned with a helmet, carrying a crest: a horse's head bridled. On the right are the Arms of the Bruces, and on the left those of the Isle of Man.
The castle towers had communication with the sea, and dip low in many places. North-east from the front of the castle is a large natural cavern, chiefly of black stone, which looks like the mouth of the Acheron – a place that leads to melancholy streams. This spot is supposed to have formed part of the dungeon where prisoners were confined, such as Gavin Douglas, Bishop of Dunkeld, who was a prisoner here in 1515. There is, however, also a dark postern which gives access to a rocky inlet from the sea, and it seems probable that it was through this that Sir Alexander Ramsay and his followers entered with a supply of provisions to the besieged in 1338.
It was long said the castle was invulnerable, possibly because of the many sieges it sustained. The castle was built with a red stone similar to that found in the quarries near Garvald. Large masses of walls, which have fallen beneath the weight of time, appear to be vitrified or run together. In the north-west part of the ruins is an apartment about 12 feet (3.7 m) square, and nearly inaccessible, which tradition states was the apartment of Mary, Queen of Scots.
The 69th Division, in early March, drove the Germans from dominating positions in the heart of the Siegfried Line. Answers to the soldiers' reactions to combat are as varied as the men themselves... "Cold weather was the worst part of it all," says Pvt. James B. Gray, Fayetsville, Tenn. 4 March, 1945. Near Ramscheid, Germany.

apart from the presence of the leading wheel, the upper position of the spring at the third driving wheel is one of the few differences between the wheel section of the CO class locomotive and the E class progenitor.
Soviet SO class freight steam locomotive of class 2-10-0 (1-5-0) was named in Soviet tradition after the leader – the revolutionist bolshevik Sergo Ordzhonikidze (SO, СО - Серго Орджоникидзе). SO class was developed in 1933 y as the elongated version of very successful E (Э) type of 0-10-0 class of steam engines, the Eu (Эу) series of that was developed and built in Soviet Russia with about 2500 ones were produced in 1926—1930. Original E- class was designed by Russian engineer Łopuszyński, Wacław Marian in 1909. These engines were built from 1912 to 1957 in imperial and Soviet Russia as well as Sweden, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania in world record big series with total production exceeds 10853 ones. After start of production by the reconstructed Lugansk Locomotive Plant in Soviet Ukraine of modern powerful 2-10-2 class FD freight locomotives with many construction innovations it became necessary to create locomotive of simplified design, which could be built at all plants and operates without rebuilding depots, turntables and track superstructure, but be more powerful than obsolete E-series. To obtain this Research Institute of Traction Reconstruction of the NKPS developed a preliminary design of a new 2-10-0 type locomotive based on an E-series steam locomotive which boiler was increased that lead to general frame elongation and inreased weight that need addition of the leading wheel that was taken from the Su-class of passenger locomotives of the 2-6-2 class also developed before The Great October revolution. The detailed design and working drawings were made by a team of designers of the Kharkov Locomotive Plant under the leadership of P.M. Sharoyko. Many technical improvemets have been made after start of locomotive production in 1934. SO18 (CO18) was the latter series of SO17 (СО17) engine, with some improvements and increased rail load up to 18 t. A total production of SO built by 6 plants was 4487 ones.

Indian military personnel take up positions near a building taken over by suspected militants during clashes in the Sempora area of Pampore, some 15 kms south of Srinagar on February 20, 2016. Gunmen attacked a paramilitary convoy in restive Indian-administered Kashmir February 20, killing two soldiers before entering a government-run training institute with 100 people inside, police said, with firing still ongoing. The militants, believed to be rebels opposed to Indian rule, assaulted a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy before paramilitaries engaged them in a firefight in the complex on the outskirts of Srinagar.

This card occupies a unique position in the Tarot because no number is assigned to it -- its Key is Zero -- and it is sometimes positioned at the beginning of the Major Arcana and sometimes at the end. The Fool represents both the beginning and the culmination of the mystical quest.
The Fool is the eternal youth, *puer aetermus*, and he we seem him about to step off a cliff into the abyss below. In his left hand he carries a white rose representing spiritual desire, and in his right hand a staff or wand. Dangling from the end of the staff is a little bag or wallet containing the four elements -- Fire, Water, Earth and Air.
Former quarry.
The French troops who took possession of this quarry on September 14, 1914, built trenches facing the German positions on the ridge3.
The quarry was quite organized, serving as shelter, billeting, dormitory, place of worship, ammunition, food, soldiers and water storage.... It contained a pharmacy, operating theater, water well, chapel...
Nearly 400 soldiers lived there during the 4 years of the war, 15 meters underground, at 12 degrees Celsius and 90% humidity5. On January 25, 1915, the Germans launched an attack on the cave to reinforce their positions on the Chemin des Dames plateau. After fierce fighting, the 102nd and 103rd German infantry regiments succeeded in pushing the 18th French infantry regiment back into La Vallée-Foulon3. The Germans were now six hundred meters from the French front line and eighty meters above it6.
This outpost was protected and refurbished: the Germans brought in electricity and telephones, dug a well and even built a chapel. Finally, they linked the Caverne with the 3rd line of defense via a 125-meter-long tunnel, enabling reinforcements and ammunition to arrive quickly and unhindered in the event of an attack, while the wounded were evacuated under the same conditions.
On April 16, 1917, during the assault of the Nivelle offensive, the men coming out of the Caverne du Dragon caught the Senegalese riflemen who had set out to conquer the Hurtebise isthmus from the rear. The Senegalese were disoriented and panicked, bringing their advance to a halt. The existence of numerous crevices linked to the rear by tunnels is one of the explanations for the sudden failure of the offensive.
After several attacks in April and May 1917, the French held a few trenches at the Hurtebise isthmus.
On June 25, the 164th Infantry Division was tasked with carrying out a new attack to control the entire isthmus and, circumstances permitting, to occupy the northern exit of the Caverne du Dragon. In preparation for this attack, the French sent collongite asphyxiating gas into the cave's southern entrances, trapping the Germans. The assault was led at 6 p.m. by the Lacroix battalion of the 152nd RI - the Red Devils' regiment - and the Moréteaux battalion of the 334th Infantry Regiment. Nests of resistance are cleared with Schilt7 flame throwers from Compagnies Z du génie. As they advanced, the French troops spotted three descents giving access to the cave. Exploration of the gutters revealed the presence of German troops who, after negotiation, agreed to surrender. “The number of prisoners reached 340, including 10 officers” (press release of June 27). This was celebrated as a great military victory in France8.
On July 26, 1917, German assault troops managed to regain a foothold in the quarry, leading to cohabitation with the French until November 2, 19173.
After the German withdrawal following the Battle of Malmaison in October 1917, the quarry once again became French, and was refurbished to house the Hurtebise sector headquarters.
The cavern was listed as a historic monument in 2006.
Ancienne carrière.
Les troupes françaises qui prennent possession de cette carrière, le 14 septembre 1914, construisent des tranchées face aux positions allemandes situées sur la crête3.
Elle était assez organisée, elle servait, d'abri, de cantonnement, de dortoir, de lieu de culte, à stocker les munitions, la nourriture, les soldats et l'eau.... Elle contenait pharmacie, bloc opératoire, puits d'eau, une chapelle...
Près de 400 soldats y ont vécu pendant les 4 années de la guerre, à 15 mètres sous terre, par 12 degrés et 90% d'humidité5. Le 25 janvier 1915 les Allemands lancent une attaque sur la caverne pour conforter leurs positions sur le plateau du Chemin des Dames. Après de très durs combats, les 102e et 103e régiments d'infanterie allemands parviennent à repousser le 18e régiment d'infanterie français dans La Vallée-Foulon3. Les Allemands se trouvent désormais à six-cents mètres de la première ligne française et quatre-vingt mètres au-dessus6.
Ce poste avancé est alors protégé et réaménagé : les Allemands y amènent l'électricité et le téléphone, un puits y est creusé et une chapelle est même édifiée. Enfin, ils relient la Caverne avec la 3e ligne de défense par l'intermédiaire d'un tunnel de 125 mètres de long permettant en cas d'attaque l'arrivée rapide, et sans encombre, des renforts et des munitions tandis que les blessés sont évacués dans les mêmes conditions.
Le 16 avril 1917, lors de l'assaut de l'offensive Nivelle, les hommes sortant de la Caverne du Dragon prennent à revers les tirailleurs Sénégalais qui s'étaient lancés à la conquête de l'isthme d'Hurtebise. Les Sénégalais sont désorientés et cèdent à la panique : cela met un coup d'arrêt à leur avancée. L'existence de nombreuses creutes reliées à l'arrière par des tunnels est une des explications de l'échec brutal de l'offensive.
Après plusieurs attaques en avril et mai 1917, les Français, tiennent quelques tranchées au niveau de l'isthme de l'Hurtebise.
Le 25 juin, la 164e division d'infanterie est chargée de mener une nouvelle attaque pour contrôler l'ensemble de l'isthme et, si les circonstances le permettent, d'occuper la sortie nord de la caverne du Dragon. En préparation de cette attaque, les Français envoient des gaz asphyxiants collongite dans les entrées sud de la grotte et prennent les Allemands au piège. L’assaut est mené à 18 h par le bataillon Lacroix du 152e RI - le régiment des Diables Rouges - et le bataillon Moréteaux du 334e Régiment d'Infanterie. Les nids de résistance sont nettoyés aux appareils lance-flammes Schilt7 des Compagnies Z du génie. Dans leur progression, les troupes françaises repèrent trois descentes permettant d'accéder à la grotte. L'exploration des boyaux révèle la présence de troupes allemandes qui, après négociation, acceptent de se rendre. « Le chiffre des prisonniers dénombré atteint 340, dont 10 officiers » (communiqué du 27 juin). Cette passe d'armes est alors célébrée comme une grande victoire militaire en France8.
Le 26 juillet 1917, les troupes d'assaut allemandes parviennent à reprendre pied dans la carrière, ce qui conduit à une cohabitation avec les Français jusqu'au 2 novembre 19173.
Redevenue française à la suite du repli allemand après la bataille de la Malmaison, en octobre 1917, elle est à nouveau réaménagée et accueille le PC du secteur d'Hurtebise.
La caverne est inscrite au titre des monuments historiques en 2006.
