| 60th Nova Scotia general election | The 60th Nova Scotia general election, in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada will be held no later than August 2008 to elect members of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. Though it does not have to be held until 2008, due to the Progressive Conservative minority government of Premier John Hamm it could well be held sooner. Media speculation had suggested that it may be held in the fall of 2005 [http://news.yahoo.com/s/cpress/20050823/ca_pr_on_na/ns_election] and Hamm himself said that he may call an election to avoid a defeat over the winter budget and a spring election. However, on September 8, 2005, Hamm announced that he would not call an early election [http://news.yahoo.com/s/cpress/20050908/ca_pr_on_na/ns_no_election] and on September 29, Hamm announced his intention to retire and called on his Progressive Conservative Party to hold a leadership convention as soon as possible.

| British 60th (2/2nd London) Division | The British 60th (2/2nd London) Division was the second of two second-line Territorial Force divisions formed from the surplus of London recruits in 1914. Originally the division merely supplied the first-line Territorial divisions with drafts to replace losses through casualties. It was not until late 1915 that the division began to be equipped for a combat role and not until mid-1916 was it sent overseas to France. As a "lesser" infantry division it was sent to the minor fronts of Salonika and finally Palestine. In mid-1918 most British battalions were replaced with Indian battalions and the division effectively became an British Indian Army division. (references) | ||
