    Russian imperial orders to Prussian army


    Recommended Posts

    During the franco-prussian war 1870-1871 many Prussian soldiers were decorated with Russian imperial orders. And even with order of St. George. For example, Kaiser Alexander Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr.1, according to it regiment history have got 39 St. George orders of 5. class. Is there any statistic about such decorations?
