7 Military Disasters on Friday the 13th

Post by decaro »

from MHN:

"THINK YOU’RE HAVING an unlucky Friday the 13th? Well, whatever misfortune befalls you in the next 24 hours, it will more than likely pale in comparison to these famous (and not so famous) disasters from the pages of military history, all of which took place on this cursed of all dates...."

One of the many copies of the top secret document that were distributed to Lee’s commanders was inadvertently dropped in an abandoned campsite by a general named D. H. Hill on the morning of the 13th.

That's not actually proven. Is only supposition.

Yes, but what southern officer would ever admit to using written orders to wrap his cigars?
