Battle of Newton Station

CSA: Battle at Newton Station – April 24th 1863! (1.7.2026)

Although I am no fan of the right-wing (racist) actor – John Wayne – the 1959 film entitled “The Horse Soldiers” covers the so-called “Battle at Newton Station” which unfolded on April 24th, 1863 – and took place in Mississippi. This involved the penetration of the South in the Western Theatre by Col. Benjamin Grierson (1826-1911) and his Union Cavalry Unit. The idea was to commit acts of terrorism and sabotage toward the CSA and its train network – so that it could not easily transport troops and supplies around the country. As Cavalry acted as a light and highly mobile infantry – these troops often turned-out to be highly effective in this role. The clip I have added above is from the film “The Horse Soldiers” and depicts Confederate troops arriving by train at the station and launching what they thought to be a surprise attack. From what records survive, it is said that the CSA lost around 25 men – but this number could have been higher. I am told that Confederate charges like this – from trains – did take place on more than one occasion.

UK: The Hidden Celtic Structures in Modern Families! (23.6.26)

Of course, conflicting with powers outside the family is a normal occupations for working-class Celts. Although we can seldom win these wars in real terms – we win in another way – as the inner structure of the family is protected and secured. We divert the enemy and turn their attention to a more or less irrelevant feature which they invariably fall for. We encourage the false idea that “they are more intelligent” and that “they have beaten us” – and we retreat in mock defeat. This is how we handle the authorities. Children watch their parents doing this from an early age – and on it goes. The modern equivalent of showing the Shire-Reef our naked bottoms when he comes to collect taxes. Letting the middle and upper-classes think we are thick is one of our greatest defences. Inwardly, we cannot be rattled regardless of what is done to use externally. We will not bend to any blow and we never show it hurts.

DPRK: US Claims of “De-Nuclearization” a Myth! (9.6.2026)

The U.S. assertion to backbite the status of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state has no legally binding force and no one will be bound by the U.S. unilateral rhetoric.

The forces, which have remained most hostile to the DPRK and expressed through undisguised speech and behaviour their sinister intention to be most outrageous in the present and future, should stop slandering the just policy of the DPRK for self-defence and, in particular, give up the daydream about “denuclearization”.

We are now eyeing the course of the dangerous evolution of the nuclear alliance against the DPRK.

All acts of shaking the security of the DPRK and the region down to the roots, including the expansion and development of aggressive military blocs sharing nukes, the conduct of various military drills premised on the use of nuclear weapons and the constant deployment of nuclear strategic assets, clearly prove the justness and legitimacy of building a solid nuclear shield of the DPRK.

WWII Home Guard Emplacement - Waverly Abbey - Farnham

UK: WWII Home Guard Fort Revisit – Waverly Abbey – Farnham! (23.5.2026)

Perhaps a platoon (30-men), or a “section” (10-men) would have manned this small fort. There was a small artillary gun at the front together with a machine-gun – whilst others defended the walls via “murder-holes” in the centre of the walls or high-up from the Parapet (Merlons) and Battlement. A team would man the front gun(s) – whilst the other soldiers would be positioned on the outside and inside of the “zig-zag” structure. The enemy would have to advance past Embrasures blasting with vicious fire-power. When entering the interior (over the dead bodies of the exterior guard) the enemy would be met with sharply changing brick structures all defended round blind-corners. The interior guard would fall back to the rear of the front-gun to make a final stand. The heavy guns would be destroyed to prevent capture. These young and old men (and some women) formed static infantry formations designed to stand their ground and buy time for the regular army to reach the location.

Monument to Martyrs of Overseas Military Operations Draws Endless Stream of Visitors

DPRK: Young & Old Respectfully Visit Memorial Museum of Combat Feats of Overseas Military Operations! (6.5.2026)

The images of the dedicated soldiers so brave on the hard-fought battlefields silently dwelt in their individual photos on display but it seems that the cries they let out at their last moments throwing themselves into the enemy pillboxes and committing suicide with their last bullets and grenades still resound as an echo of eternal life, moving all the visitors, young or old, to tears.

The visitors feel great emotion surging inside them, seeing the undying pictures showing what the heroes wished and desired at their last moments and realizing how they laid down their lives to save their sacred honour as soldiers of the Korean People’s Army, turning their love for their beloved parents, wives and children into their hardened will to annihilate the enemy.

Going around the outdoor captured weaponry exhibition area, they recollect with great pride the feats of the warriors who demonstrated the ideological and spiritual superiority and invincible mettle of the Korean People’s Army by inflicting merciless death on the aggressors on alien battlefields by dint of Korean-style tactics.

UK: Soviet T-34/76 & T-34/85 Model Tank! (1.5.2036)

Interestingly, the plastic model mimics the metal kits that used to arrive in the factories in Stalingrad to be constructed by the workers – which included Disabled people. Tank crews would often train on wooden models and wait by the factory doors for each new tank to appear. These brave men and women would then drive directly to the frontline to confront the Nazi Germans. We will paint these models and add scenery and Soviet Red Army soldiers.
