    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 Christophe!

    Thanks for that, what was your source, is there any mentioning of their further career?

    regards

    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

    World War recipients (book published 1936, reprinted 1964) had the 1914-18 citations listed, but I don't know of an earlier volume that did the same for earlier recipients.

    From the 1853 Saxon Army rank List--

    von Treitschke was born in Dresden 1796

    entered army 1813

    Unteroffizier 1813

    Leutnant (all ranks as spelled then) 1814

    Oberleutnant 1826

    Hauptmann or Rittmeister (columns do not distinguish which of these title all captains had) 1836

    Major 1846

    Oberstleutnant 1848

    Oberst 1848 (yes SAME YEAR)

    Generalmajor 21.09.49 (yes 2 promotions in one year!!!!!!!!!)

    1853 Commander 2nd Infantry Division

    von Sichart was born in Dresden 1797

    entered Saxon army 1811

    Unteroffizier 1811

    Leutnant 1812

    Oberleutnant 1822

    Rittmeister or Hauptmann 1834

    Major 1843

    Oberstleutnant 1848

    Oberst 1849

    Generalmajor 16.10.51

    1853 Commander of Leib-Infanterie Brigade and acting Governor of Dresden

    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

    Eduard Heinrich von Treitschke (geboren Dresden 1796, gestorben Dresden 1867) (k?niglich s?chsischer Adelsstand 25.07.1821, Diplom 12.09.1821); 21.09.1849 Generalmajor und Chef des Generalstabs, 1851 Commandeur der 2. Infanterie-Division, 1856 gleichzeitig Gouverneur von Dresden (1857 Generallieutenant), 1859 Commandant der Festung K?nigstein, 11.04.1866 pensioniert.

    04.07.1849 StH; 20.10.1863 SAO2a; BHLO1; HG1; OEK3; SEHO1; SCGE

    GHdA Bd 134 AL Bd XV S.3; Richter; Verlohren S. 513.

    Karl Adolf von Sichart (geboren Dresden 1797, gestorben 04.12.1854); 16.10.1851 Generalmajor 1853 Commandeur der 1. Infanterie-Division und der Leib-Infanterie-Brigade, gleichzeitig Gouverneur von Dresden.

    27.05.1849 StH; 1849 PROA2X; BZL1; OEK1; 1849 OLO2mkD.

    Klenau Nr 3008; Richter; Verlohren S. 491.

    Should anyone be able to name me the Richter pagenumbers, that would be greatly appreciated

    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.
