17 MAY 1944 - BATTLE OF MYITKYINA BEGINS #WWII In the climactic final engagement fought by the U.S. Army’s famous “Merrill’s Marauders” in Burma, Allied forces besieged Myitkyina, capturing the Japanese stronghold and paving the way for the safe opening of the Ledo Road. In the spring of 1944, the Allies were on the offensive in the liberation of Burma. Chinese forces led by GEN Joseph Stilwell fought down the Hukawang Valley and reached the vicinity north of the key communications center and Japanese stronghold of Myitkyina in May. Meanwhile, the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), officially called GALAHAD (but better known as "Merrill's Marauders"), attacked Myitkyina from the south on the morning of 17 May, catching the Japanese defenders by surprise. While GALAHAD'S 3d Battalion feinted toward the northern end of the defenses and the 1st Battalion seized the Irrawaddy ferry terminal at Pamati on the right flank, a Chinese regiment overran the airstrip and probed toward Myitkyina itself but was repulsed. U.S. Army Air Forces and British Royal Air Force transports landed with Chinese reinforcements and American engineers, and evacuated casualties. Japanese resistance, lack of heavy weapons, and the onset of the monsoon in early June delayed completion of the Allied operation. A series of Allied attacks made little headway against the defenses in which the enemy used houses, railroad cars and roads constructed above flooded rice paddies as fortifications. Fortunately, the Japanese overestimated Allied strength, remaining on the defensive as the Allies resigned themselves to a lengthy siege. Allied forces gradually cleared the area of the enemy, and on 3 August the Japanese abandoned Myitkyina. Although victorious, the engagement essentially destroyed Merrill’s Marauders’ combat viability, and the unit was incorporated into the newly formed Mars Task Force. #USArmy #TRADOC #WWIIHistory #WW2History #WW2 #SpecialForces #SpecialForcesHistory #ArmyHistory #MilitaryHistory #Myitkyina #MerrillsMarauders

Desvendando os Segredos dos Pombos-Correio na Primeira Guerra Mundial: Aves Mensageiras em Tempos de Conflito ️ Heróis Alados em Tempos Turbulentos: Em meio ao caos e à destruição da Primeira Guerra Mundial, uma figura improvável emergiu como um elo vital de comunicação: os pombos-correio. Esses pássaros corajosos e inteligentes desempenharam um papel crucial no campo de batalha, transmitindo mensagens cruciais entre as tropas e o comando, muitas vezes sob fogo inimigo. Uma Tradição Milenar Adaptada para a Guerra Moderna: O uso de pombos-correio como mensageiros data de séculos, com registros de seu uso na China Antiga, no Egito e na Grécia. No entanto, foi na Primeira Guerra Mundial que os pombos-correio ganharam destaque como ferramentas militares essenciais. Sua capacidade de viajar longas distâncias em alta velocidade e de navegar em terrenos hostis os tornava ideais para transmitir informações em tempo real, quando outras formas de comunicação, como telégrafos ou rádios, eram limitadas ou ineficazes. Treinamento Rigoroso e Missões Perigosas: Os pombos-correio eram cuidadosamente selecionados e treinados desde tenra idade para serem mensageiros confiáveis. Eram ensinados a se orientar e a retornar a um loft específico, mesmo em condições climáticas adversas ou em território desconhecido. As mensagens eram cuidadosamente escritas em cápsulas leves e presas às pernas dos pombos, que então voavam de volta à base para serem entregues ao comando. Histórias de Bravura e Sacrifício: Inúmeros pombos-correio se tornaram heróis da guerra, salvando vidas e contribuindo para o sucesso de operações militares. Alguns foram condecorados por bravura por sua bravura e sacrifício, tendo enfrentado fogo inimigo, tempestades e outros perigos para entregar suas mensagens. Estima-se que mais de 100.000 pombos-correio morreram durante a guerra, vítimas do conflito ou de predadores naturais.

An original RAF Meteorological report for 5-6th June 1944. Along with the flare drop “beacon” codes, hand typed on tissue paper designed to ignite with the touch of a cigarette, or be swallowed… The most famous weather report in history. This example came from M. Francis, a photo reconnaissance pilot based in Oxfordshire. His mission was to survey the D Day approaches and surrounding area before and after the invasion, as his log book shows… Hand written note on the back says not to use radio after 10pm Monday 5th… D Day began at 6am on Tuesday 6th. I am also including his D Day flight logbook, an earlier war time logbook, training notes, pilots glasses an original unframed Spitfire recognition poster dated 1944, a fighter pilots silk escape map of northern France and Mr Francis’s dog tags. Mr Francis survived the war, living happily in London for many years afterwards. This historically important collection is fabulously evocative of the time and is of museum quality. With the 80th anniversary of D Day falling next month, this sale is a timely reminder of the utmost bravery and sacrifice. Framed by London’s best paper conservators @pureandappliedconservation (The V&A, Tate, etc). Available to view now at my London gallery. . . #dday #ww2 #militaryhistory #worldhistory #combat #instagood #instadaily #antiquedealersofinstagram #rip #forces #raf #navy #army #churchill #britain #usavictory #rare #ephemera #document #weather #fly #pilot #aviation #pilotlife #aircraft #thankyou #london #1944 #1940s

The original caption to this 1954 image reads: "The huge bow of the Mammoth Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Forrestal, arches over the speakers' platform as a crowd of some 3,000 persons gather for the launching ceremonies. The big carrier weighed 59,650 tons. Its' flight deck was larger than three football fields." The USS Forrestal was the United States' first completed supercarrier, named after James Forrestal, the first United States Secretary of Defense. 📷️: 12 December 1954 | Bettmann | #GettyImages #PreservingThePast #GettyArchive #aircraftcarrier #supercarrier #ussforrestal #warship #militaryhistory #shootingthepast #historyphoto #historyphotographed #archivephoto #photoarchive #vintagephoto #photolibrary #heritage #historyonfilm #historythroughalens

‘It is sweet and proper to die for one’s country …’ György Zala’s striking Budapest monument depicts university students rushing to the aid of a wounded soldier. Its inscription ‘Pro Patria Mortuis 1914-1918’ translates to ‘For those who died for the country 1914-1918’. A variant of this phrase inspired Wilfred Owen’s poem ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ - or the ‘old Lie’ as Owen described it. The quotation is from the Odes of the Roman poet Horace, in which it is claimed that ‘it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country’. The origins of this monument came from a 1917 parliament decree that a memorial should be erected in every settlement to the local soldiers who died in the war. The monument was designed in 1928, and a site selected for it on a section of wall where the Pázmány Péter University meets the neighbouring University Church. On 1 November 1930, the monument was unveiled, when a colourful shroud was dramatically hoisted from it. The presiding rector then declared: ‘They entered your gates with a thirst for science and education, and look how they rush out of them with the self-sacrificing dedication of their souls loyal to their country and duty.’ The rector continued to perpetuate the ‘old lie’. - a lie that glory could be attained through a noble death; a lie that undoubtedly condemned many of the university’s students to a premature death.

These communist flags were found in a concealed dump in Ulu Selangor, Malaya, by “A” Company 1st Bn the Royal Hampshire Regiment on the 28th Feb 1956, following the surrender of the 11 members of the communist terrorist group the Kerling Armed Work Force. The flags were made in readiness for the day when the communists were in control of Malaya, and were embroidered by the women in the Kerling Armed Work Force. #malayanemergeny #malayaemergency #britisharmy #militaryhistory #armyhistory

Der Westfeldzug 10. Mai 1940 - 25. Juni 1940 🇩🇪 ✠ —————————————————————— Am 17. Mai 1940 wurde Brüssel kampflos von der Wehrmacht besetzt. Ein Angriff von 200 Panzern der 4. französischen Panzerdivision unter Colonel Charles de Gaulle auf Montcornet wurde von der Luftwaffe und der deutschen 10. Panzerdivision zurückgeschlagen. De Gaulle musste sich nach schweren Verlusten zurückziehen. ✠ Zwei Tage später trat die 4. französische Panzerdivision erneut zum Angriff bei Crécy-sur-Serre an. Dort wurde das Gefecht vor allem durch den Einsatz der deutschen Luftwaffe entschieden. De Gaulle warf man später vor, jeweils keine Luftunterstützung angefordert zu haben. ✠ #wwii #ww2 #worldwar2history #warhistory #worldwartwo #ww2history #history #military #worldwar2 #3reich #worldwarii #luftwaffe #worldwartwo #ww2photos #ww2photography #battleoffrance #secondworldwar #wehrmachthistory #3rdreich #ww2aircraft #militaryhistory #wehrmacht_ww2 #ww2pictures #stahlhelm #wehrmacht #ww2german #wehrmachtsoldier #ww2tanks #wehrmachthistory #france #ww2photo #tank

A relic WWI German M16 helmet I picked up recently. Although fairly rusty it still has both of its exterior lugs which is nice to see. Designed in 1915 to replace the Pickelhaube which offered little protection against artillery barrages, the M16 Stahlhelm was issued to the 1st Assault Battalion of the German Army from December 1915. The ‘coal scuttle’ was then introduced into regular service in the early part of 1916, to the German soldiers fighting in the Battle of Verdun. 📸 : @battlefield_builds

History Highlight: The Siege of Quebec – May 17, 1760 On May 17, 1760, during the Seven Years' War, French forces besieging Quebec retreated after the British Royal Navy arrived. This event marked a crucial turning point in the struggle between Britain and France for control of North America. The Build-Up In 1759, the British, led by General James Wolfe, captured Quebec, striking a major blow to French colonial power. However, in the spring of 1760, French forces under the Marquis de Lévis laid siege to the city, aiming to reclaim it. The siege's outcome was critical, as Quebec was key to controlling Canada and the lucrative fur trade, impacting the balance of power in North America. The Siege Inside Quebec, the British garrison, commanded by General James Murray, was outnumbered and running low on supplies. Their situation grew increasingly desperate until a British fleet under Admiral Charles Saunders arrived, breaking the French blockade. On May 17, 1760, Saunders's fleet brought crucial reinforcements and supplies, forcing the French to retreat and ending their last major offensive in North America. The Aftermath The British victory ensured their control over Canada and led to the Treaty of Paris in 1763, where France ceded most of its North American territories to Britain. This victory solidified British dominance in the region and had long-lasting implications for the future histories of both Canada and the United States. For stamp collectors and history enthusiasts, events like the siege of Quebec offer a window into the past.

Day 13. Weapons (Оружие) ⚔️ «В недостаточно христианизированном народном восприятии никогда полностью не исчезала неприязнь к тем, кто не умеет держать в руках оружие и обязан соблюдать целомудрие.

When he returned after the war, he trained at the National Art School and his war-time experiences became a constant theme in his work. Discover the stories of military service during the Second World War through unique sketches and photographs. Entry to the exhibition is free and located in our Auditorium. 👉 Full exhibition details via link in bio #SecondWorldWar #Exhibitions #VisitSydney #Photography #Veterans #MilitaryHistory #Sydney #AustralianHistory

Today, 17th May 1395, saw the Battle of Rovine. As the Ottoman House of Osman grew in ambition and power, it looked to control all of Anatolia (Turkey) and rid the region of the Christians/Crusaders. Sultan Bayezid I the Thunderbolt, decided that to protect the region from Christian invasion, which he felt was strongest in Hungary, as it gathered allies, the control of Wallachia as a "buffer zone" would be advantageous. Bayezid, invaded and bypassed fortresses; heading instead straight for capital to defeat King Mircea in one fatal blow. Mircea ordered all able bodied men to rally to the call of national defence, however as the Ottomans approached he knew he was still greatly outnumbered. He led his army south of the capital, Curtea de Arges, and took up defensive positions in the wetlands further south. These were interwoven with waterways, drainage ditches and marshes; ideal for defence. According to some accounts the battle lasted a week, with waves of Ottomans attempting to break through. Their Serbian allies; heavy knights, became bogged down in the waterways and massed Wallachian archers repeatedly halted Ottoman advances with storms of arrows as they waded through the wetlands. Mircea's army became more confident and dug trenches to further inhibit Ottoman attacks, until eventually they launched their own counter-offensive; attacking the Muslim camp at night, causing sufficient destruction as to persuade Bayezid to cut his losses and withdraw from Wallachia. It was the first major reverse in the Ottoman's fortune of expansion. #wargaing #wargames #thelittlecorporal #pendraken #warlordgames #medieval #medievalhistory #history #militaryhistory #ottomans #ottomanempire #wallachia #romania #books #historybook #wargame #wargamesmagazine #wssmagazine #vaevictis #wargamesillustrated
Like many other areas of the United States during World War II, Texas saw an increased military presence as new units were raised and posts were built to train them. Among them were many Black Americans who came to Texas to train for the war effort. Join our Director of Exhibitions Cale Carter for a virtual talk on “Black Soldiers and the Lone Star State during World War II” with the Friends of the Texas Historical Commission, and learn more about the history of these units and their impact on Texas and the war effort. 📆 Thursday, May 23 | 6 PM FREE - register at thcfriends.org/friends-of-thc-events @friends_thc #WWII #wwiihistory #militaryhistory #blackmilitaryhistory #blackhistory #houston #freewebinar #houstonevents

#tbt ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Name: Arnhem Author: R.E. Urquhart I read "Arnhem" in college, and it has stayed with me throughout the years, something not many books have managed to do. The book is based on one of WWII's most brutal airborne assaults, Operation Market Garden, where the British were air dropped deep behind enemy lines in the Netherlands. "Arnhem" is about a soldier's nightmare with close-quarters combat, room by room, house by house. Urquhart, a British commander in the thick of it, lays bare the desperate fight for survival against overwhelming odds. The book excels in portraying the multinational effort between the British, Polish, and American troops fighting side-by-side against the Nazis, and how frustration mounts as promised reinforcements fail to arrive, leaving the British stranded. Urquhart paints a grim picture of the desperation, the dwindling supplies, mounting casualties, and constant fear of annihilation. You can feel the tension build up as you read about hearing the enemy next door, literally. But within this despair, flickers of heroism and unwavering resolve shine through. The ending is a bitter pill as the British paratroopers suffer devastating losses, with many killed, wounded, or captured (Urquhart himself becomes a POW). Operation Market Garden fails to secure its objectives, leaving a heavy sense of sacrifice in vain. "Arnhem" is a tribute to Allied courage but a stark reminder of war's human cost, especially when victory slips through your grasp. #thepukhtoonbibliophile #muslimbookshelf #readingmuslims #bookstagram #booklover #bookclub #bookclubofinstagram #booknerd #goodreads #goodreadschallenge #goodreadschallenge2024 #bookreview #bookrecommendations #bookworm #throwback #throwbackthursday #nonfiction #arnhem #worldwar2 #ww2 #wwII #militaryhistory #army #armyhistory #britishmilitary
