Bear Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hello, My newest addition is a miniature portrait along with a couple of documents. Klagenfurter Landwehr - Company 1 Hauptmann Jacob Liegl I need all the help I can get since I can't read German Script. I've been trying to find out if he saw any action during 1809, 1812, or the Wars of Liberation. I haven't found anything yet. Google Books(German Script) http://books.google.com/books?id=fYkAAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA356&dq=Klagenfurter+Landwehr+liegl&ei=3PRHS-6LMZC8yQSujYSCDg&cd=1#v=onepage&q=Klagenfurter%20Landwehr%20liegl&f=false & In this book his named is spelled Liegel. http://books.google.com/books?id=eawAAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA187&dq=Klagenfurter+Landwehr+liegl&ei=3PRHS-6LMZC8yQSujYSCDg&cd=2#v=onepage&q=&f=false thanks, barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) German Infantry Regiment 26 Commanded by... 1814 Wilhelm, Prinz von Oranien-Nassau. then he became... 1815 Wilhelm, König v. Niederland, FM. or William I Frederick/ William I of the Netherlands Now let see what I.R. 26 did in 1814-1815. His son commanded the Netherlands troops at Waterloo. I wonder if Hauptmann Jacob Liegl/Liegel was there too. Edited January 10, 2010 by Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Barry, nice portrait of an interesting man. Jacob Liegel born in Sankt Veit an der Glan, Kärnten, Austria Baron von Kaisersteinischer Werksverweser (he was an administrator for the Baron Kaiserstein before he was given a commission) Landwehr-Hauptmann Liegel commanded the first company of the I. Klagenfurter Landwehrbataillon in 1808 (the picture depicts him as such) Then became Hauptmann of the Infanterie Regiment König-Wilhelm-der-Niederlande. Hauptmann Liegel was wounded and captured in 1813, later (no date given) he died at the front near Udine of Dysenterie.

Bear Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks Hardy I just knew that we could find Liegel. It would seem that Leigel was taking part in action(Udine) in the Napoleonic kingdom of Northern Italy, 1813-1814. The Allies were fighting the French under Prince Eugene.

Bear Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hello, Haupt. Liegel was probably taken prisoner in one of these actions in 1813. Maybe one day we'll get the answer.
