| | |  Duncan Campbell: Encyclopedia II - Fort Ticonderoga - Ticonderoga during the French and Indian WarIn 1757 the French launched a very successful attack upon Fort William Henry from the nearly complete Fort Carillon.
The garrison of the Fort was by Regiment de la Reine. For an account of the regiment at Fort Ticonderoga see the following link: [1].
On July 8, 1758 the British, under General James Abercombie, staged a frontal attack against hastily assembled works outside the fort's main walls (which were still under construction). Abercombie tried to move rapidly against the few French defenders, opting to forgo field cannon ...

| | | | Duncan Campbell: Encyclopedia II - BBC controversies - Brief history One of the first controversial issues in which the BBC became involved was over the question of funding and the control of programming. In the United States radio broadcasting had already developed to the point that there were "listeners-in" within the British Isles, prior to any broadcasting service being licensed by the British government (British General Post Office - GPO) within the British Isles.
As a result of these technical and social developments, in 1922 the British government (GPO) forced all of the British electrical compa ...

| | | | Duncan Campbell: Encyclopedia II - The Guardian - History The Manchester Guardian was founded in Manchester in 1821 by a group of non-conformist businessmen headed by John Edward Taylor. The prospectus which announced the new publication proclaimed that "it will zealously enforce the principles of civil and religious Liberty … it will warmly advocate the cause of Reform; it will endeavour to assist in the diffusion of just principles of Political Economy; and to support, without reference to the party from which ...

| | | | Duncan Campbell: Encyclopedia II - Military citadels under London - PINDAR The most important military citadel in central London - and arguably in Britain - is PINDAR, a bunker built beneath the Ministry of Defence on Whitehall. Its construction, which took ten years and reportedly cost £126.3 million, finally came to a conclusion in 1994, but PINDAR became operational two years earlier, in 1992. The high cost became the subject of some controversy in the early 1990s. Much of the cost overrun was related to the facility's computer equipment, which proved extremely difficult to install due t ...

| | | | Duncan Campbell: Encyclopedia II - Fort Ticonderoga - The fort during the American Revolution For more information see main article Battle of Ticonderoga (1775)
On May 10, 1775, a sleeping British garrison of 22 soldiers was taken by surprise by a small force of Americans (calling themselves the Green Mountain Boys) under Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold, who walked into the fort through an unlocked gate. A single shot was fired — probably by accident. The colonials obtained a large supply of cannon and powder, much of which was hauled 300 km by Henry Kno ...

| | | | Duncan Campbell: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Carillon - Impact on the Black Watch The Black Watch was "first in the attack, and last in the retreat", and paid dearly with the loss of many lives and many severely wounded. However, due to the gallantry of the 42nd at Ticonderoga, letters of service were issued for adding a second battalion, and an order to make the regiment Royal, "as a testimony of his Majesty's satisfaction and approbation of the extraordinary courage, loyalty, and exemplary conduct of the Highland regiment."
The vacancies occasioned in the 42nd by the deaths at Ticonderoga were filled up in regula ...

| | | | Duncan Campbell: Encyclopedia II - The Guardian - Moving to the Berliner paper format In 2004, The Guardian announced plans to change to a "Berliner" or "midi" format similar to that used by Le Monde in France and some other European papers; at 470×315 mm, this is slightly larger than a traditional tabloid. Planned for the autumn of 2005, this change was either a response to, or has the same cause as, the moves by The Times and The Independent to start publishing in tabloid (or "compact") format.
The advantage that The Guardian sees in the Berliner format is that though it is on ...

| | | | Duncan Campbell: Encyclopedia II - The Guardian - The Guardian in the popular imagination The affectionate name the Grauniad for the paper originated with the satirical magazine Private Eye; it came about because, in the past, it was noted for frequent text mangling, technical typesetting failures and typographical errors, including once misspelling its own name as "The Gaurdian" in the 1970s. Although such errors are now less frequent than they used to be, the 'Corrections and clarifications' column can still often provide some amusement. There were even a number of errors in the first issue, perhaps the most notable being a notification that ...
