Sachson Order of St Henry

[David M]

Hi

As I was so fortunate with my request with regard to the Baden Carl Friedrich Order, I would also like to try the same for the Sachson St Henry Order.

This time I am looking for the entry of

Eduard von Treitschke, who allegedly received the order in 1849 (according to Verlohren)

Carl Adolph von Sichart (same year)

I would like to know if there is just info on the event which was the cause for the award (which I would not really be interested in) or also the remainder of the career of both men ( which would interest me a great deal!! )

thanks for any help

regards

David

Hi David,

I used the following book :

RICHTER (Oberst a. D G.), Der K.S. Milit?r St Heinrichs orden 1736-1918, Verlag Weidlich, Frankfurt a. Main, 1964, 752 p.

There is nothing more about those men

Perhaps the awards and promotions in 1849 were related to services or loyalty during the disturbances of 1848.

Von Sichart got promoted fairly quickly as well. My 2 cents on these guys

Page 55. I will scan it for you. Actually von Sichart's shows as "wegen Auszeichnung bei der Bek?mpfung des Aufstandes in Dresden." (that is at the head of the 27.05.49 list on page 54) and von Treitschke's "wegen Auszeichnuung in dem siegrichen Gefecht von Eckernf?rde."

Back later with the scan.
