July 22, 1499
The Battle of Dornach
This was one of the greatest defeats of Emperor Maximillian's troops by the Swiss Confederation during the 9 month
Swiss/Swabian War of 1499. The Swiss ambushed the Imperial camp and slaughtered the unprepared Germans.
The Germans managed to make a stand
which resulted in a two hour long
push-of -pike. Swiss sources claim they
recieved only 11 casualties while inflicting 3000 casualties to the Germans.

...and in more recent history:
Gwen Nowrick was born on this day!
Happy Birthday Gwen!

Ah that battle, I remeber it well, having happened on my very own saint's day...

Thanks for the wishes guys! I was feeling a bit put out because my own family didn't even remember, so I really appreciate the post.

Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes. I don't mind being 43, but I'm having a tough time thinking of myself as "middle aged".
