Ernst was a real fighting officer, his bravery,leading his squadron earned the "El Bodon" title, he also received the Army small gold medal, which most likely was melted down during the last 200 years. He is mentioned a lot in the Schaumann diarys "On the road with Wellington". He also had the honor position to ride ahead of the 1st Hussars parading before the Duke of Cumberland in Hannover following the Waterloo campaign....great history behind this family regards detlev Dear Rick, do you have a clue who owns the MGS with single bar "Barrossa" ?
Good morning, With great interest I see the MGS of this "Poten" in existence. I do have the 2 Waterloo Medals to Capt. Ernst Poten and his younger brother Lt. Conrad Poten, so I would very much wish to reunite the family after so many years. Maybe someone can point me to the owner of this MGS so I may get in touch with him ? I would very much appriciate it. yours Detlev Niemann
Good morning, How interesting ! I was the highest bidder for this medal bar on ebay.com. I contacted the seller and offered him payment through: paypal, bank transfer, order scheck, cash delivery from a local lawyer to his door. But he has turned down all "tracable" ways of payments and insisted on western union payment. A strange person with propably bad intentions. Interesting to hear that the medal bar does actually exist and finally comes into the market regards detlev niemann
Good morning Don, If you had send me an e-mail asking how many I had of those I would have answered you "just 2 each as illustrated". I doubt this can answer for a "new wave of copies", maybe best as a small "Bonsai wave" regards detlev
