British Troops of the 7th Green Howards, 69th Infantry Brigade, 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division with an Ordnance QF 6-pounder anti-tank gun cover a lane near Lingèvres Normandy - June 16, 1944

Designed in the UK before WW2, the Ordnance QF 6-pounder didn’t enter service until 1942, first being deployed in North Africa.

The 6-pounder design was also adopted by the US Army as the “57 mm Gun M1”, US production guns had a slightly longer barrel.

About 1/3 of the US production guns were delivered to the British Army with a further 400 guns being sent to the Soviet Union as Lend-Lease.

A young man suspected to be a phone thief has been bu*nt to d"ath in Goldie along Unical and Eastern Highway, Calabar South Local Government area of Cross River State. According to an eyewitness, Benedict Ita, the incident occurred around 7am today, Thursday, February 22. Ita said that the suspect who was pursued from Unical axis to Goldie Cemetery was ly*ched alive by angry mob who were mostly students. He said that "he was begging for mercy but the mob comprising of mostly students who were determined to use him as a scapegoat over the incessant cases of phone snatching around the area paid deaf ears to his appeal. He was beaten very well before he was bu*nt alive". He added that "the boy who many said is a criminal known for phone snatching in the area was chased from Unical side to Eastern Highway where he jumped to Goldie cemetery but the number was too large for him to escape". Also speaking, the victim who said he was a 100 level student of Ling

My Shocking Experience With Patient In A Hospital

My Shocking Experience With Patient In A Hospital I once cared for a middle-aged patient who presented to emergency with a dildo-related very embarrassing situation. He purchased the toy for one of his sexcapades. Curiosity hit. And he shoved the damn thing in his pooper, high-high up! “Me first” attitude didn’t do him much good. Funny feelings subsided fairly quickly and the horror struck when he couldn’t get it out. His drainage was jammed, the toy was slipping further up and after about 24 hours of wishfully waiting for it to naturally pass, it hurt bad enough to seek medical help. The official party line, that he vehemently iterated, was I just fell onto it, how else do you think it got up there! Needless to say, emergency surgery was necessary and he landed in the ICU with sepsis related post-op complications. It took him loooong before being able to use the toilet normally! Google ** NOT the patient’s X-ray, but it looked similar** Though I have seen some really absurd stuff in

Undressed woman was observed standing on ledge outside kitchen window of HDB building in Yishun before she jumped to her death.

Undressed woman was observed standing on ledge outside kitchen window of HDB building in Yishun before she jumped to her death. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has since issued a statement and rejected the claims, saying that the woman was not a domestic worker, in response to several social media posts that claimed the woman was a Filipino maid. On Thursday, October 12, the unfortunate occurrence took place in a HDB estate in Yishun. Social media users widely disseminated images and video of the incident. The images showed a woman standing on the ledge outside her kitchen window without any clothing on and holding onto the clothes drying rack before she collapsed. The woman was taken to the hospital unconscious and ultimately died from her injuries, according to the police, who said that they received a cry for help from Block 874 Yishun Street 81 around 7.20 am. Police investigations into the incident are presently taking place, and based on their preliminary investigation

Ana Mendieta, Untitled (Rape Scene), 1973

Ana Mendieta, Untitled (Rape Scene), 1973 "Untitled (Rape Scene) is the documentation of an action that the artist performed in her apartment in Iowa City, while she was a student at the University of Iowa on the innovative Intermedia art course run by the German artist Hans Breder (born 1935). It was created in response to a brutal and highly publicised rape and murder of a nursing student, Sara Ann Otten, by another student in March 1973. The following month Mendieta invited her fellow students to her apartment where, through a door left purposefully ajar, they found her in the position recorded in this photograph, which recreated the scene as reported in the press. Some time later, Mendieta recalled that her audience ‘all sat down, and started talking about it. I didn’t move. I stayed in position about an hour. It really jolted them.’ (Quoted in Ana Mendieta, p.127, note 11.) In 1980, she commented that the rape had ‘moved and frightened’ her, elaborating: ‘I think all my wo

When we got to that house, we were told that we were there for the sexual pleasure of the Japanese military

When we got to that house, we were told that we were there for the sexual pleasure of the Japanese military ... We immediately started to protest. We said we were forced to, that they couldn't do this to us, they didn't have the right to Doing it, it was against the Geneva Convention, and we never would. But they laughed at us, you know, they just laughed. They said they could do with us what they wanted. " One of the most heinous war crimes committed by the Japanese Imperial Army in Southeast Asia during World War II was the ruthless sexual exploitation of 200,000 Asian women (Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, Korean and even Japanese) and 200 -300 Dutch and 30 Australian women. During the war the imperial army, worried about the spread of venereal diseases, decided to open a chain of brothels in all the conquered territories in order to avoid this problem (this was an example of what had happened in India in the nineteenth century where the he Bri

Making Sense of a Rape Photograph: Se.xual Violence as Social Performance on the Eastern Front, 1939-1944

Making Sense of a Rape Photograph: Se.xual Violence as Social Performance on the Eastern Front, 1939-1944 This article begins with a disturbing image that has a no-less unsettling provenance. It shows a group of fifteen young German soldiers standing in a semicircle, carousing and laughing as one of their comrades emulates a sex act with an unidentified woman who may or may not be dead. The laughter of his comrades suggests approval for the actions of the man on the ground. Although it is not clear if the photograph depicts an act of actual rape, its aftermath, or mere mimicry, what is certain is that the depicted scene ascribes the woman only one function: she is an object of amusement that mediates coercion and asymmetric power relations It is very possible that this picture was taken before or after the soldiers raped the woman. However, irrespective of whether any penetration actually occurred, the men imitated a rape scene showcasing the woman’s body as a sexualized object of
