General Military History Quiz

It's well over 24 hours now we've waited for a new question , as there isn't one let's get going again with a question from me


What battle does this monument commemorate ?
Clue, it's not my photo but I did take pics when I was there in 1995. :p

Is that in France or Belgium seems to ring a bell from there?

 

Bunker Hill Monument. It is in Bah-stun.

 

Who is this man?

He did not earn a MoH. What happened to him was a dubious honor. It was in the early 1960s.

 

There was loss of life associated with this man.

 

James T. Davis?

First Battlefield casualty of the Vietnam war. December 22 1961.

No, Mark but that isn't the answer I was looking for. The clue is in bold.

 

Second try
Is it Bellerophon?
Bellerophon astride Pegasus is the symbol of the British Airborne.
And the HMS " Billy Ruffian" fought at Trafalgar.

 

Yep, that's the one.

Over to you, Mark.
