Thanks! I have no way of referencing your information as I am not able to read cyrillic. So I take your word for.it ?

Thanks to both of you. I have a general idea of the attack on Kassel and the involvement of General Zernitscheff (I can think of only 20 ways of writing his name tbh ) However I would like to make an annotation to this text I have. It seperately names Zernitscheff (spelled like this) and this General Poroschenowitz. Is there an overview of the officers in Zernitscheff's corps, the Corps v. St. Priest or the Division of v. Winzingerode if only for reference?

Posted 1 minute ago Hi I am looking for the name of the russian commander of the german city of Kassel in september 1813. I have found a source naming a general Proschonewitsch, butcan not find anything about this man. Other sources claim its a General Raschanowitz. So no idea really. Hoping for some help here

Great Glenn, thanks. And for all to see as the final decoration on the Generals medalbar: the churhessian order of the Iron Helmet. For more information on this decoration, see my blog at davidmueldner.wordpress.com Some articles are already there, soon more to follow.

Thanks v. Perlet. v.d. G. Was a westfalian officer, as was the main subject of the biography I mentioned. He is one of the fellow officers named. That, and he was a recipient of the CHOEH.

Hi To complete some annotations I am making to a kurhessian biography I am looking for a fully detailed career overview of the prussian General F.W. von der Groeben (1774-1839). Wikipedia unfortunately lacks some info. Hoping someone here can help me out Regards David

They must havebeen. I also heard of names like: Kreuzwendedich. But I am not sure if thats reall.

Amazing how they came up with such beautiful and meaningfull names. Not much help in your quest, sorry for that.

Just a question with regard to his career: when he had already served as an Oberstlieutenant in the Greek Army, why was he only reinstated in the bavarian army as an Unterlieutenant in 38?

Thats nice, Glenn. Thanks.

Great, Glenn. Thanks a lot.

Anyone?

Were you able to find anything on him?

Hi I am not familiar with the subject but would there be a book on a württemberg militairy order with which the recipient was also raised to the personal nobility? I am looking for details on the career of one Christian Wilhelm v. Kaufmann. He was in w. service before 1814. He entered kurhessian service as a Lieutenant in the Jäger-Bataillon at the end of 1813. Any details appreciated Thanks David

Hi Glenn! I checked his entry at Wikipedia and he apperantly was at Charleville. I assumed he was a cavalry officer, because he is stated as an under the command of Scheffer as stated in my first post. So he does seem to be the v.d. H. I am looking for.

Hi I am looking for careerdata and possible ODM on a NN v. (der) Heiden. He stood 1815 under Oberst Scheffer in the kurhessian cavalry and was mentioned for his conduct at Charleville. By 1821 he is mentioned as 'Major in preussischen Diensten'. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot David

I am not familiair with the Baden military archives, but maybe confirmation on the careerchanges mentioned in the first post are to be found in those records

Thanks Glenn! Are there not some kind of regimental stammliste of the regiments he served in or commanded? Either he or his brother who ended his career as a GM in bavarian service , was in kurhessian service in 1814-1815. I would love to find a confirmation.

Hi I am looking for an overview of career and decorations of the bavarian kavallerie Oberst Emil Freiherr v. Stockum-Sternfels (1792-1863) A possible picture would ofcourse be very welcome. Thanks a lot David

Great, Glenn! Thanks. I did find a reference on wikipedia. His son went on to be a prussian GM and is listed in Priesdorff. Wasnt sure if my Tiehsen was the same as the GM's father. But I know now. His unit apperantly was at the same places as the kurhessians during the Befreiungskriege. Will find out more about that when I dig in some books on that era again. Thanks so much

Hi I am looking for information on the career and life of NN Tiehsen 1821 Capitain im 1. (Ostpreussische) Artilleriebrigade. Would it be possible to find something on him? Regards David

Goodmorning and merry christmas. I am looking for the entry of and career info on Lieutenant Casa Franca de St Paul (1875) in the prussian Jäger-Batsillon nr. 5. Thanks a lot David

Anyone?

Touching memorial piece. Thanks for sharing.
