Utility pouches are meant to be slung one over the front, one over the back. The straps were rarely secured in action and sections frequently overloaded themselves with said pouches.

Bren teams would throw them on the floor then open fire... some were then grabbed when redeployed, others were left in situ.*

*In later engagements utility pouches were often found strewn about & duly scavenged.

HMS Implacable, originally built as the Duguay-Trouin for the French Navy in the early 19th century, is a historic sailing warship of significant importance in European maritime history. After serving in the British Royal Navy, it survived for over a century and was known at the time as the second-oldest surviving ship in the Royal Navy, after HMS Victory. However, on December 2, 1949, HMS Implacable was scuttled at sea, flying the French and British flags side by side as a tribute to its heritage. The decision was made after the British government deemed the ship's maintenance and restoration costs too high amid post-war austerity policies.

The sinking of HMS Implacable sparked a wave of protests from the public, historians, and maritime history enthusiasts, who considered the act a "crime against British maritime history." Many argued that the ship should be preserved as a museum or national monument due to its exceptional historical significance. The controversy sparked widespread debate about the preservation of maritime heritage and the government's responsibility to safeguard historical relics. The strong public reaction ultimately prompted the government to provide greater support for future historic ship preservation projects, making the HMS Implacable incident an important lesson in efforts to preserve historical heritage for future generations.

Wyjaśniam na spokojnie bzdury dotyczące tego wpisu. To jest moja opinia, która może się komuś nie podobać.

To jest rok 2015.
Nie chodzi o tort wołyński.
Widoczna jest „flaga rosji”, a nie Polski ani żadna flaga związana z Wołyniem.
Całość odnosi się do wyśmiewania rosyjskiej propagandy o rzekomym „ukrzyżowaniu dziecka w Donbasie” – tzw. „chłopczyk w majtkach”.

Ukraińcy, w tamtym czasie, o Wołyniu dowiadywali się z wypowiedzi ruskiego kolaboranta, autora Noworosji Olega Cariowa.
Nie potrafił odpowiedzieć, kiedy rozpoczęła się II wojna światowa. Powiedział legendarne "czto(co)", a potem, że w 1941 roku, po czym zaczął opowiadać o rzezi wołyńskiej...

He stood 2.01 metres tall. That is how they finally confirmed his identity. PFC Robert Cahow, 311th Infantry Regiment, 78th Infantry Division, was killed in the Hürtgen Forest on 13 December 1944, bringing in wounded men under fire. A mine killed him, and German fire kept his comrades from reaching the body.

Crocodiles don't die of 'old age' in the traditional sense. If protected from starvation, disease, & accidents, they can easily live for over a century.

Unlike most mammals, which stop growing after adulthood, crocodiles grow throughout their lives, as long as they have sufficient food & suitable habitat.

Crocodiles are cold-blooded. They rely on external heat to regulate body temperature; their metabolism is very slow, & they can survive for months without food.

This particular crocodile, Henry, was notorious as a man-eater in the Okavango River, having killed multiple people in the early 1900s.

A hunter named Sir Henry Neumann was sent to catch and kill this problem animal. Instead, he captured the crocodile alive & transferred it to a conservation centre, & so it was named Henry.

Henry has fathered >10,000 offspring and remains reproductively active at >125 years of age.

Every species, in its own way, is extraordinary.

No, in fact if you model the Russians own air alerts issued to civilians, this is approximately the trajectory taken by UA drones to hit St. Petersburg and/or Ust-Luga.

Ultima Online once had an in-game king who was supposed to be unkillable.

He was played by the creator of the game.

During a public speech, someone threw a fire field spell at him.

The server had crashed earlier, and when he logged back in, his invincibility flag wasn’t on.

So the king just died in front of everyone.

The devs spawned demons in revenge.

The assassin escaped.

In 1972 Psychiatrist John E. Fryer declared his homosexuality at a psychiatrist convention to get people to stop viewing homosexuality as a mental illness. He did it as “Dr. Anonymous”, wearing a mask and a wig, as he could risk losing his medical license by being openly gay.

Dr. John E. Fryer's appearance at the 1972 annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association became one of the most important moments in the history of LGBTQ rights and modern psychiatry.

At the time, homosexuality was officially classified as a mental disorder in the APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Fryer, a psychiatrist who had experienced discrimination because of his sexual orientation, spoke on a panel titled "Psychiatry: Friend or Foe to Homosexuals?" To protect his identity, he wore a tuxedo, a mask, a wig, and used a voice-altering microphone while introducing himself as "Dr. Anonymous."

During his speech, Fryer told attendees that many gay psychiatrists were forced to hide their identities out of fear of losing jobs, hospital privileges, research opportunities, and professional standing. His testimony challenged the psychiatric community to reconsider both its treatment of gay people and its assumptions about homosexuality itself.

The following year, in 1973, the APA voted to remove homosexuality from the DSM, marking a major turning point in medical and social history. While many factors contributed to the decision, Fryer's appearance is widely regarded as one of the most influential moments in that process.

Fryer's identity remained secret for years. He was publicly confirmed as "Dr. Anonymous" only in the 1990s, and in 2003 the APA established the John E. Fryer Award to honor individuals who have advanced the mental health of sexual and gender minorities.
