*Samuel Jenkins was
an African American. In 1754 he was Captain Charles
Broadwater’s slave. They lived in Springfield, Virginia,
where Broadwater was a member of the Virginia militia. The
next year when Captain Broadwater and the Virginia soldiers
joined General Braddock's army. Samuel Jenkins went too.
Jenkins was not a member of the army. He was paid to
help the army as a driver of a provision wagon. General
Braddock paid 15 Schillings per day for each wagon with 4
good horses and driver. Jenkins was one of over 200 wagoners
on the Braddock Campaign. A young Daniel Boone was also on
this list as a wagoner.
Jenkins's job as wagoner was to keep his horses in good
health and keep his wagon in good operating condition. He
kept his team of horses under control on steep mountain
climbs and dangerous descents without brakes.
Braddock’s army built a road 6 feet wide through dense
forests. It was very difficult as there were rivers and
streams, swamps, rocks, stumps and boulders that all got in
the way. Jenkins braved insects, snakes, rainstorms and heat
during his long journey. Jenkins drove a wagon loaded
with 2000 pounds of supplies or food. A lot of food was
needed for Braddock’s huge army. Wagons would have carried
cheese, Indian corn, rum, flour, rice, peas, salt, flour,
bacon, salted beef and pork. Oats and forage for the 2500
horses was also hauled in wagons like Jenkins's. There was
little for them to eat in the forest.
The supply wagons were not with General Braddock when
he was defeated. Braddock had split his army. The supply
wagons were so slow that about half the army went ahead
without them. After the battle, as the retreating soldiers
caught up with the supply wagons and the rest of the troops,
there was panic and fear. The wagons were needed to carry
wounded and injured soldiers back to Fort Cumberland where a
hospital was set-up for their care. They needed to get rid
of the provisions that Jenkins had so carefully transported.
They did not want the French to get the food, muskets,
gunpowder or any of the other supplies, so the supplies were
burned.
It was claimed that Samuel Jenkins went on to live
until he was 115 years old.

Knights of the Skies
Charles Eugène Jules Marie Nungesser, was a renowned Ace in
France, rating third highest in the country with a total of
45 confirmed victories during
World
War I. Nungesser became an ace in April
1916. He was wounded on 19 May 1916 but continued to score
and would be wounded again in June. Despite his many
injuries he finished the year with 21 victories, and it was
during this time he downed two German aces,
Hans
Schilling on 4th December, and Kurt Haber on the
20th.
Despite being a decorated pilot, Nungesser was placed
under house arrest on more than one occasion for flying
without permission. He disliked strict military discipline
and went to Paris to enjoy its many pleasures (such as
alcohol and women) as often as possible. He was a leading
fighter pilot, whose combat exploits against the
Germans were widely publicized in France. Nungesser's rugged
good looks, flamboyant personality, and appetite for danger,
beautiful women, wine and fast cars made him the embodiment
of the stereotypical flying ace.
Nungesser flew a variety of Nieuports, most of his
planes bore his famous personal insignia of a black heart,
edged in white, upon which was painted a white skull and
crossbones, coffin, and two candlesticks. With this he also
adopted the title “The Knight Of Death”.
The aircraft he flew bore prominent
tricolour markings on the upper surfaces of the wings and
also often on the fuselage and upper surface s of the lower
wings.. His original silver-doped Nieuport 17 bore the
number N1895. This number was apparently important to
Nungesser, as he had this serial number applied to several
other planes. This was normally not allowed, which shows how
the authorities may have allowed their top aces to do much
as they pleased.

The Jacobite Rebellion 1745
Brigadier
Humphrey Gore raised the 10th Dragoons in 1715 as part
of the response to the Jacobite rising of 1715, although
they did not see any action. In 1723 command of the
regiment passed to Colonel Charles Churchill who was in
turn succeeded by Field Marshall Viscount Cobham in
1745.
At the
outbreak of the Jacobite Rebellion Cobham's were serving
on the Continent in the War of the Austrian Succession
as part of a British army under the command of George
II's son, the Duke of Cumberland. When early attempts to
stamp out the rebellion failed Cobham's was part of the
large force shipped back to Britain under Cumberland to
deal with the threat.
Cumberland
had only three regiments of horse, Cobham's Dragoons,
Kerr's Dragoons and Kingston's Horse. At the battle of
Culloden Cobham's found itself in the unusual situation
of being split between the two flanks of the army. Both
parts were engaged with the rebel army and in particular
the rebel horse and the small units of French troops
sent to aid the rebels. With victory assured it took
part in the pursuit of the broken rebel army, its
troopers being the first Government troops to reach
Inverness, the Jacobite headquarters before the battle.
After the
battle the regiment played an active role in policing
the highlands and the hunt for the fugitive Prince
Charles Stuart, particularly along the Aberdeenshire
shore around Stonehaven

The First
Sudan War 1884-1885
From
1855 what are now known as The Royal Marines, were
labeled The Royal Marine Light Infantry. They were to
mainly be used in a skirmishing capacity in front of
infantry. They were issued gray wool coats and trousers.
The foreign service helmets were not stained, but kept
white in keeping with the pristine Marine turnout.The
marines were in Gen. Graham’s square at El Teb. At
Tamai in 1884 they formed the rear wall of Maj. Davis’s
2nd Brigade square. When the wild Hadenodoa
warriors flooded into the square through the gap left by
the Black Watch. The rear rank of the marines were
compelled to turnabout and fight in both directions. At
this time the Marines acted as a breakwater to steady
elements of the York and Lancaster Regiment, and the
Black Watch as they recovered to retrieve the situation.
The
Marines were to take part in most of the major actions
throughout the Sudan Campaigns

The Condor Legion - Spanish Civil War
The
Messerschmitt Bf 109, often called the
ME 109, was a
German
World War II
fighter aircraft designed by
Willy Messerschmitt and
Robert Lusser during the early to mid 1930s.
It was one of the first true modern fighters of
the era.
The ME 109 first
saw operational service during the
Spanish Civil War and was still in service at
the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II,
during which time it was the backbone of the
Luftwaffe's fighter force
The 109E first
saw service with the "Condor
Legion" during the last phase of the
Spanish Civil War and was the main variant
from the beginning of
World War II until mid-1941 when the 109F
replaced it in the pure fighter role.
The ME109 A, B, C and D were powered by the Junkers Jumo
engine. The Messerschmitt Bf 109 E series was the first
of the family to be fitted with the Daimler Benz DB601A
engine, resulting in a significant improvement in
performance.
The
Spanish Civil War presented the opportunity to test
these revolutionary fighters in action, and they proved
their worth in combat with Legion Condor over the skies
of Spain. Two variants were manufactured in
parallel - the lightweight Bf 109 E-1 which retained the
wing-mounted 7.9mm machine guns of the earlier Bf 109 B,
C and D; and the Bf 109 E-3 which was fitted with one
20mm MG FF cannon in each wing. Both variants featured
two additional 7.92mm machine guns in the cowl.
The 109E saw little real action as by the time they
entered the Spanish Civil war, the opposition was pretty
well worn down.
The first plane to be produced for this series is
the ME109-E flown by Oblt. Hans Schmoller-Haldy.
While
Schmoller-Haldy did not score any kills in Spain, he
went on to fight in Poland and France during the
second world war, and was wounded in action in
Russia on February 23rd, 1942. He
survived the war.
The “Mickey Mouse” was the Steffel-Emblem of 3.J/88,
while the Beer Mug was Oblt. Schmoller-Haldy’s
personal emblem. The CP stood for
"The
Order of Cardinal Puff", which apparently was a
pilots beer club founded in Belgium.

The Battle of the Plains of
Abraham, 1759
(Also suitable for “Return to Monongahela” series)
Late
in 1754, Britain dispatched two battalions of regulars, under
the command of Major General Edward Braddock, to North America.
When news of the British plans reached Paris, six battalions of
French line infantry were ordered to proceed to New France to
counter the British move. The battalions were from the regiments
of Artois, Bourgogne, Bearn, Guyenne, La Reine, and Languedoc.
The French troops sailed for Canada early in May 1755,
accompanied by their commander, Baron Dieskau, and the Marquis
de Vaudreujl, who was to replace the ailing Duquesne as Governor
of New France. During the voyage, eight companies of regulars
were lost when the vessels Alcide and Lys were
captured by the British and four companies of both the Languedoc
and La Reine battalions were taken prisoner. The Artois and
Bourgogne regiments disembarked at the fortress of Louisbourg,
and the remaining four battalions proceeded to Quebec.
A full-strength French regular battalion of the period
numbered thirty-one officers and 525 soldiers, divided into one
grenadier and twelve fusilier companies. As the four companies
lost to the Royal Navy were not replaced until late 1757, the
regiment de Languedoc began its service in Canada badly under
strength.
The Marquis de Montcalm arrived early in the summer of 1756 to
replace the unfortunate Dieskau. Under the leadership of this
able commander the regiment de Languedoc took part in the
capture of Fort William Henry in 1757, and in the successful
defence of Ticonderoga in 1758.
When Montcalm drew up his army on the Plains of Abraham to face
Wolfe's regulars on 13 September 1759, the Languedoc battalion
stood third from the right in the French line of battle. The
regiment also formed part of the French force that returned to
Quebec in the spring of 1760 to defeat the British at the Battle
of Sainte-Foy. The arrival of the British fleet broke the siege
of Quebec, and Levis withdrew his troops to Montreal to carry on
the unequal struggle. On September 8, the French capitulated;
six days later, the Languedoc battalion embarked for France
