The Finns rose up in guerrilla fighting as far as Hamina ( in Russian " Old Finland "), where the unit of Colonel Sandels was active.

Tuchkov's battered unit strained to hold its own against Sandels, while the progress of a relief force under General Alekseyev was contained by guerrilla fighters.

It was not until September 26 that Prince Dolgorukov ( Alekseyev's replacement ) managed to join his forces with Tuchkov, inducing Sandels to retreat.

The Savolax Brigade, which was led by av Sandels, and of whome Cronstedt's men were a part of, were to fight a bloody war in the southern parts of Finland.

Philip Frederick Alexander, Prince of Eulenburg and Hertefeld, Count of Sandels, in German: Philipp Friedrich Alexander Fürst zu Eulenburg und Hertefeld, Graf von Sandels ( 12 February 1847 – 17 September 1921 ) was a politician and diplomat of imperial Germany in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

In 1900, Eulenburg was created 1st Prince of Eulenburg and Hertefeld and Count of Sandels ( Fürst zu Eulenburg und Hertefeld, Graf von Sandels ).

The second title was in honour of the family of his wife, whose father was the last Swedish Count of Sandels.

During the Battle of Koljonvirta ( October 27, 1808 ), Duncker together with Colonel Fahlander and Major Malm and only 600 men helped Sandels to utterly defeated a superior Russian force.

The Russians had successfully captured the city of Umeå and driven the Swedish army commanded by Sandels south, to Härnösand.

At the battle of Pulkkila on 2 May 1808, Johan August Sandels marched eastwards to liberate those parts of Finland that were under Russian control.

After the main Swedish army had been defeated at the Battle of Oravais the army under Johan August Sandels in Savonia had to retreat in order not to be outflanked by the Russians.

Sandels pulled back the forces on the south side of the river and the Russians attacked over the partially demolished bridge.

My new Aunt was perhaps three or four years older than I and it had been a long time since I had seen as gorgeous a woman who oozed sex.

True, she was my Aunt, married to an Uncle related to me only by marriage, but why she had married a man twice her age, and more, perhaps, I did not know or much care.

it was perhaps 80 feet high and had been artfully constructed of logs.

For lawyers, reflecting perhaps their parochial preferences, there has been a special fascination since then in the role played by the Supreme Court in that transformation -- the manner in which its decisions altered in `` the switch in time that saved nine '', President Roosevelt's ill-starred but in effect victorious `` Court-packing plan '', the imprimatur of judicial approval that was finally placed upon social legislation.

Yet implicit in each movement was the death of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions, perhaps you and me -- and the experts.

Years ago this was true, but with the replacement of wires or runners by radio and radar ( and perhaps television ), these restrictions have disappeared and now again too much is heard.

Adrian Quiney wrote to his son Richard on October 29 and again perhaps the next day, since the bearer of the letter, the bailiff, was expected to reach London on November 1.

What was perhaps more important than his concept of the nature of history and the historical method were those forces which shaped the direction of his thought.

I had always thought of that lovable man as many years older than myself, although he was perhaps only twenty years older, and he confirmed my feeling, along with the feeling of both my sons, that teachers of the classics are invariably endearing.
