In fiction and folklore, a doppelgänger or doppelganger (look-alike, literally a "double goer") is a paranormal double of a person...A cousin is a relative with whom a person shares one or more common ancestors.. In the general sense, cousins are two or more generations away from any common ancestor, thus distinguishing a cousin from an ancestor, descendant, sibling, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew. However in common parlance, "cousin" normally specifically means "first cousin".. The Cairo Gang was a group of British Intelligence agents who were sent to Dublin during the Irish War of Independence to conduct intelligence operations against prominent members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA)..12 people, including British Army officers, Royal Irish Constabulary officers and a civilian informant, were assassinated on the morning of 21 November 1920 by the IRA in a planned series of simultaneous early-morning strikes engineered by Michael Collins.. The events were to form the first killings of Bloody Sunday..By 1920, the success of the IRA, in particular its Intelligence Department under Michael Collins, was a cause of concern in Dublin Castle, the then headquarters of the British administration in Ireland. The IRA's success led to the British Government's demand that the IRA be eliminated..The photograph lodged in the National Library photographic archive, Piaras Béaslaí collection (5 copies) describes the men as "the special gang F (6) company Auxiliaries"...There are no names or details on the back of the photos...
At 117 Morehampton Road, Donnybrook, not far from the scene of the first shootings, another member of the Cairo Gang, Lieutenant Donald Lewis MacLean, along with suspected informer T. H. Smith and MacLean's brother-in-law, John Caldow, were taken into the hallway and about to be shot, when MacLean asked that they not be shot in front of his wife. The three were taken to an unused bedroom and shot. Caldow survived his wounds and fled to his home in Scotland...
Next, at 92 Lower Baggot Street, another member, Captain William Frederick Newberry, and his wife heard their front door come crashing down and blockaded themselves into their bedroom. Newberry rushed for his window to try to escape but was shot while climbing out by Bill Stapleton and Joe Leonard after they finally broke the door down..Captain Crawford narrowly escaped death after the IRA entered a guesthouse in Fitzwilliam Square where he was staying, looking for a Major Callaghan. On not finding their target, they debated whether or not to shoot Crawford. They decided not to shoot him as he was not on the hit list; instead they gave him 24 hours to leave Ireland, which he promptly did...
Meanwhile, an IRA unit led by Tom Keogh entered 22 Lower Mount Street to kill Lieutenant Angliss aka McMahon, and Lieutenant Peel. The 2 intelligence specialists in the Gang, McMahon and Peel had been recalled from Russia to organise British Intelligence in the South Dublin area.. McMahon survived a previous assassination attempt when shot at a billiard hall. He was targeted for killing Sinn Féin fundraiser John Lynch, mistaken for Liam Lynch, Divisional Commandant of the 1st Southern Division. McMahon was shot as he reached for his gun..19 men were shot..14 were killed on 21 November, Montgomery died later making 15 in all..The remaining Cairo Gang members, along with many other spies, fled to either Dublin Castle or England, fearing they were next on the IRA's "hit list".. This dealt a severe blow to British intelligence-gathering in Ireland..Eventually another group of intelligence operatives led by Head Constable Eugene Igoe from County Mayo would take the fight to the IRA...Talana (Talana in Sardinia ) is an Italian town of 1,059 inhabitants in the province dell'Ogliastra which is located 682 meters above sea level..

It was fought between British and Boer forces from the independent South African Republic and Orange Free State in and around Colenso, Natal, South Africa on 15 December 1899..Inadequate preparation and reconnaissance and uninspired leadership led to a heavy, and in some respects humiliating, British defeat..Colenso (known in Zulu as eSkipeni - Place of the Boat) is a town in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa..Shepheard's Hotel was the leading hotel in Cairo and one of the most celebrated hotels in the world from the middle of the 19th century until it was burned down in 1952.
