All,

Can anyone confirm and provide award dates for Grand Cross MFKO to the following:

Karl von Baden (1832-1906)

Wilhelm von Baden (1829-1897)

Max von Baden (1796-1882)

Wilhelm von Baden (1792-1859)

Francois-Joseph Lefebvre Duc d'Danzig

Nicholas I Tsar of Russia

Thanks,

John

All,

I was wondering if someone in the military received this order, did they receive the military division of it?  More specifically, if it was received for war service, either gallantry or in the case of military leaders, outstanding leadership in war, instead of for length of service in peacetime.  This would also include non-Belgians.

John

All,

Does anyone know what type of citations Karel Hora received for his Croix de Guerre.  In Geoffrey Bogga's La Legion!, it states that he received 7 or his CdG TOE, 5 for his CdG 39-45 and 2 for his CV.  Just curious if these were palms or stars?

John

All

Does anyone know if either of these men received any other awards?

Jozef Pialucha  Polish Air Force

James J Reardon  USAAF

John

Is there a list of recipients out there? I've seen a breakdown by nationality, but not much else.

John

All,

I saw a couple of illustrations in the Geschichte des Grossherzoglich Badisch Leib-Grenadier Regiments 1803-1871 on Google books and am interested in their career highlights, Awards, etc. They are:

Saschaw'

In addition to D'Auvray, could you please check if Count Molitor, Gabriel Jean Joseph, Marshalof France also received the BV.

John

Saschaw,

Thanks for the reply. Dovre might be found as Graf D'Auvray or something like that. He was in Russian service during the Napoleonic Wars. Hope you are able to find him.

Could someone provide the award dates of the St.Heinrich's Gold Medal to the following?

Friedrich Baumann

Friedrich Haugk

Georg Delling

The time period would be 1848-1875. Thanks in advance.

John

Saschaw,

Thank you again for the award dates. Unfortunate that the book does not list by grade. Here are a few more that I am interested in. I'm not sure if they received the BV1 or not.

KARL Friedrich Gustav Wilhelm Maximillian von Baden

Gustav Friedrich von Beyer

Johann Baptist Lingg von Linggenfeld

Heinrich von Porbeck

Ludwig WILHELM August von Baden

Friedrich Karl von Tettenborn

Thanks again.

John

All,

Looking past threads I found reference to 4 awards to Russians in the period 1902-1904. Does anyone happen to have any further info concerning these awards?

John

Saschaw,

Many thanks for the information. If possible, could you please provide award dates for the following:

GFM Gebhard Blucher

Friedrich Graf Kleist von Nollendorff

Albert Kronprinz von Sachsen

Also, does your source include all recipients of the BV1? Thanks in the advance.

John

arb,

Thank you very much. I have been looking for them a long time. Thanks again.

John

Thanks Komtur.

Does anyone know have any information concerning the other 15 recipients from 1866?

John

All,

Over on the Werhmacht forum there is an old thread that references a garrison official with a MVK among others. The man was Garrisonsverwaltungoberinspektor Seichter in 1900 and he was a recipient of the GMVK. Since this was before WWI and he was not one of the colonial MVK recipients, wouldn't this mean he was one of the 16 MVK recipients from 1866? Please let me know.

John

Thanks Bernhard for all the help.

All,

I understand that there was one person that held the following combination: SH3, SHgm, SHsM.

My question, how many SH3, SHgM recipients were there?

John

Josef,

Do you have statistics as to how many MVK2's were awarded in total and how many went to non-Austro-Hungarian personnel?

John

All,

Does anyone have the award dates of the BV1 to the following recipients?

Wilhelm Prinz von Preussen ( Kaiser Wilhilm I)
Friedrich von Wrangel
Kronprinz Friedrich von Preussen
Friedrich Karl Prinz von Preussen
Albrecht von Roon
Friedrich Franz II Grossherzog von Mecklenburg-Schwerin
August von Werder

Thanks in advance.

John

Thanks Bernhard.

I look forward to the additional information concerning the higher classes. Also, could you confirm an award of the St. Henry to Boris III of Bulgaria?

John

All,

Did Ernst II of Saxe-Altenburg, Carl Eduard of SCG, and Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe-Weimar receive the Saxon Order of St. Henry? Also did any other Saxon dukes receive it?

John

Rick,

I am wondering if you could clarify something. I have seen references to the Albrechtsorden Grand Cross and Grand Cross with golden star, both with and without swords. Was this a higher class and are there separate award numbers?

John
