Someone posted that text anonymously into Wikipedia, you can find it here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Prachuab_Khirikhan). Apparently noone noticed that it was in fact a copyright violation, and should have been deleted, so in the meantime the Wikipedia mirrors (like the one above) also show that text...

But you haven't been totally clean with copyright as well, that map showing the location of the province was borrowed from Wikipedia :D It should at least have the source information, as WP contents is free, but not PD.

Now rereading the old revision of the text at Wikipedia and comparing it with your website (yesterday I got a geocities error message) - the texts are close, but it's not a plain copy, only the last paragraph with the losses was copied word-by-word. Thus it wasn't a copyright violation, but only something like plagiarism, the one who posted it at Wikipedia probably used your site as his source. I now added the weblink to your site to fix that, but it does not need to be deleted at Wikipedia.
