Djedj Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) Sure Igor - what a neatly clean hand-writing here !"Duke Alexandre de W?rtemberg is honoured to announce to His Excellency Lord Walpole, that with respect to his representations, His Imperial Majesty willing to reward the services rendered during the siege of Danzig by Major Macdonald in the service of His British Majesty, has decided to grant him the Order of Ste Anne of the Second Class, as well as that of St Wladimir of the 4th Class to Captains Macleod and Montagu. The Duke joins 20 Crosses of St George of the 5th Class, for the low-officers and soldiers, whose zeal and bravery had been particularly commended by their Chiefs, the list of whom he has the honour of joining as well.Duke Alexandre de Wurtemberg takes advantage of this occasion to ensure his Excellency Lord Walpole of his highest regard."Salutations,J?r?me Edited November 11, 2006 by Djedj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djedj Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 That's some fantastic stuff you have here igor !Looks quite clear that your "Mackenzee" belong to the RHA then.As for Lord Walpole, he obvioulsy had some diplomatic role : July 27th 1812. General Viscount Cathcart's embassy to the Court of Russia left the Roadstead in the frigate " Aquilon." Lord Walpole, secretary of Legation to Lord Cathcart, sailed in the " Calipso" to the head.-quarters of the Russian army. Cheers,J?r?me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djedj Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Bonjour Igor,With pleasure indeed !"Sending attached to His Excellency Lord Walpole the Cross of Ste Anne of the second class for Major Macdonald, and two crosses of the order of St Vladimir for Messrs. Captains Macleod and Montaigu, of whom his Majesty the Emperor has accepted to decorate these 3 officers for the blockade and siege of Danzig, the Duke of Wurtemberg takes eagerly advantage of this occasion to renew the expression of his highest consideration to His Excellency."Note that the structure of this translation is somehow a bit "heavy", on a commendable effort on my part to convey the "heavy" structure of the original French text Meilleures salutations,J?r?me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
