MPs listen in awe to story of battle: The Vancouver Sun   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Calvin and his soldiers, almost half of whom were reservists, fought a 16-hour battle, exchanging rifle and heavy machine-gun fire at ranges down to 150 metres. Calvin conferred with the commander of the UN forces, French Gen. Jean Cot, who told him the UN was losing face by continually withdrawing when one side opened fire. Calvin received the meritorious service cross for his role in the Medak Pocket operation; the Princess Pats were handed the force commander's unit commendation by Gen. Cot, one of only three awarded during the long peacekeeping mission to the former Yugoslavia. www.balkanpeace.org /wcs/wct/wctu/wctu01.shtml   (2116 words)

The 456th Bomb Group Association Dedication Page: Col. Steed Colonel Steed labored with the few old aircraft given the group and with the few experienced crews to provide round-the-clock training, but was unable to secure equipment for the high altitude flying and gunnery which obviously were necessary to prepare the crews for combat. Colonel Steed returned to the ZI in the summer of 1945, temporarily commanded Marianna Air Base in Florida, then went north as senior instructor for the Massachusetts Air National Guard from April 1946 to August 1948; then to Maxwell AFB, Alabama, as a student in the 1948-49 Air War College class. Colonel Steed's retirement was for physical reasons stemming from an incident during a training flight in England where he had taken the 91St Strat Recon Wing on TDY in 1950. www.456thbombgroup.org /steed.html   (1649 words)

Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Calvin and the Colonel Calvin & the Colonel debuted on ABC, on October 3, 1961. Colonel Montgomery J. Klaxon (Gosden) was a fox, which in funny animal shorthand meant he was clever and not very trustworthy, just like George "Kingfish" Stevens, the character that had taken over the co-starring role from Amos. Calvin & the Colonel never caught on like Amos & Andy had — in fact, it lasted just one season in prime time, a total of 22 episodes. www.toonopedia.com /calcolon.htm   (443 words)

MWP: William Clark Falkner (1826-1889) Soldier, statesman, railroad-builder, and author, Colonel William Falkner’s importance to northeast Mississippi and his influence on his great-grandson named after him, William Faulkner, is immense. Family lore asserts that the name was originally spelled Faulkner but that the Colonel dropped the “u.” While still very young, Falkner moved with his family to St. Genevieve, Missouri; at age seventeen, however, he went to Pontotoc, Mississippi, to live with his uncle, T. Word, but ended up settling in Ripley, Mississippi. Colonel William Clark Falkner’s impact on the literary world through his own writing is minimal, but the importance of his life and work on his great-grandson, William Faulkner, is great and has been duly noted by scholars. www.olemiss.edu /mwp/dir/falkner_william_clark   (937 words)
