Private Thomas J Higgins - Union Flag-Bearer - Vicksburg (1863)

Email: Vicksburg – The Bravery of Private Thomas J Higgins (1831-1917) – Union Flag-Bearer! (22.10.2024)

This immense fire-power (in a confined space) made a killing field of the redoubt. Those Union attackers that managed to survive the attack across open-ground had to climb a 18-foot breastwork (including trench) before even getting to grips with the defenders – who simply stuck the muskets out of fire-holes and opened-fire at point-blank range! On top of this, Confederate “Grenadiers” lobbed cannon-balls with five-second fuses into the mass of attacking enemy troops. Needless to say, bravery has its limit, and many Union soldiers broke-off the attack and retreated back to their lines – usually minus copious numbers of their friends and colleagues. Meanwhile, Confederate casualties were minimal.

China: Hu Youping [胡友平] is NOT a “Traitor” – But Rather a “Local Hero” & “National Martyr”! (28.6.2024)

28/06/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Strictly speaking, no citizen should be subjected to online violence, and any citizen subjected to online violence should be protected by law. However, it is undeniable that compared with ordinary citizens, Martyrs and their families enjoy a more suitable legal protection. If Hu Youping is rated as a “Martyr”, her memory will be protected by the “Heroes and Martyrs Law”. Those online violence behaviours that distort, vilify, blaspheme, and deny Hu Youping’s deeds and chivalrous spirit will be deemed as violating the law. If such behaviour constitute a crime, then the perpetuators will be held criminally responsible – in accordance with the law.

In addition, according to the “Martyrs Commendation Regulations”, the standard for Martyr Commendation Compensation is 30 times the per capita disposable income of urban residents in the previous year – when the Martyr died. In addition to enjoying the Martyr Commendation Compensation, the Martyrs’ families who fall within the scope of the “Work Injury Insurance Regulations” and related regulations also enjoy a one-time work-related Death Allowance and a Special Allowance for Martyrs’ families equivalent to 40 months’ salary of the Martyr concerned. In addition, the Martyrs’ families also enjoy preferential treatment in medical care, education, employment, housing and other aspects.

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Tankmen’s Training Match!

14/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Stressing the importance of the role and duty of tankmen in modern warfare, he underscored the need to organize intensive exercises simulating an actual war and training matches for enhancing combat capability so that they can carry out any combat mission promptly and accurately under various circumstances in contingency, and to take revolutionary measures to dynamically conduct the movement for becoming versatile tank crew and other mass movements, thoroughly subordinating and orienting the movements to perfecting war preparations.

Dunkirk: Remembering the British Army Rear-Guard! (25.2.2024)

25/02/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

This is a section of a 1940 British Newsreel lamenting the crushing defeat we British – as a nation – suffered at Dunkirk at the hands of the rampant Nazi Germans! Not only did a flotilla of around 800 civilian boats volunteer to sail (unarmed) from the UK to Dunkirk to get as many of the 400,000 stranded British and French soldiers off the beaches – but a very professional British Army Rear-Guard was ordered to hold to the last round and fight to the last man! If not for their sacrifice, the small boats (and the ships of the Royal Navy) could not have succeeded in their task of saving the bulk of the British Army so that the UK could live to fight another day!

Eire: Remembering the Celtic Bravery of “Stephen Keenan” – Free-Diving [and Safety] Champion! (31.1.2024)

31/01/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

‘Last month, Stephen Keenan, aged 39 and from Dublin, drowned while overseeing a dive by the freediving world record holder Alessia Zecchini. While attempting to cross “the arch” of the Red Sea’s notorious Blue Hole using only a single breath, the 25-year-old Italian became disoriented. Keenan rushed to her aid and guided her to the surface. She made it out unharmed but he blacked out and was found floating face down some distance away.

WWII: Lest We Forget! (6.21.2023)

06/11/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The politically motivated casualty lists of the contemporary Bourgeois West play down the Soviet and Asian casualty figures whilst over-exaggerating the losses of the West. The UK morally led the way whilst China and the USSR fought their corners with an incredible tenacity! At this special time of year we must also remember the Soviet and British POWs who suffered at the hands of the brutal (fascist) Imperial Japanese – with the Soviets also brutalised by the Nazi Germans (who viewed them as sub-human). At the setting of the sun – we will remember them!
