Searching the internet I found that 'Dread God' is the motto for the Munro Clan. wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Munro Clan Munro is a Highland Scottish clan. The clan name, Munro or Rothach, Roich, or Mac an Rothaich in Gaelic means Ro - Man or Man from Ro. This supports the tradition that the clan was originally from the River Ro in Ireland.

Here is a link to the 1905 Rangliste. Their names are in yellow on page 42/43. Those Funny Letters Google Books http://books.google.com/books?id=oAtQAAAAI...PX4tQQ#PPA43,M1

I'm new at this so I'm not sure what I've found. Rangliste Kaiserlich Deutschen Marine (1905) page 42 Charlotte - Maybe his Ship Lt.z.s. L?we(Arul or Ural) The Charlotte was a Tall Ship built in 1886, from 1903-1905 she was used for training. page 43 Stein - Maybe his Ship Lt.z.s. Andersen or it might be Undersen Stein - Kreuzerfregatte(Bismarck Class )

Thanks Rick I found some info on the 5e. It had 4 squadrons and a total of 792 cuirassiers in 1809. 4 squadrons = 8 companies (1 captain per company) so we have 8 captains in the 5e Uniform - blue coats, white breeches, orange cuffs & collars As for officers I have only found the names of colonels on up.

Looking at this morning I'm not sure whats going on the last paragraph. Maybe a list of dead officers being awarded the L?gion d'honneur. I've spent hours on other documents trying to translate just one sentence. :banger:

I can't find his name anywhere. It ends with the officer receiving the L?gion d'honneur by his Majesty.

Thanks Chris When it comes to translating I can get about... 33.3%(Right ON) 33.3%(Good Guess) & the remaining 33.4%(I Have know Clue) just screws it all up.
