Bear Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hello, Is their a list for the Russian Officers that received this award during 1813-1814(or maybe after the campaign). Here is a link to the Russian Officer: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40226 thanks, barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hello Bear, Bill Hammelmmann’s excellent three volume publication “The History of the Prussian Pour le Merite Order” lists all recipients (regardless of nationality), by award date, from 1740 through 1918. In many cases, additional information is provided as well. Best wishes, Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hello Bear, Bill Hammelmmann’s excellent three volume publication “The History of the Prussian Pour le Merite Order” lists all recipients (regardless of nationality), by award date, from 1740 through 1918. In many cases, additional information is provided as well. Best wishes, Wild Card Barry WC is correct on Hammelman listing recipients. There were over 5000 medals awarded prior to 1918, and almost one-fourth of them were Russians during the Napoleonic era. I read the link to today's post, and the list of recipients is potentially a large one. Do you think there's any chance of narrowing the time frame down a little either by focusing on Leipzig only, and/or officers of a certain rank, branch of service, etc?

W McSwiggan Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have these volumes as well and am pleased to say so. Is there specific information you need - I can check for you. Hugo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I was hoping that it would be a small number. Since I don't have any other information on the Russian Officer it might be impossible to indentify him. I'll try my black/blue light and see if any writing appears on the portrait. Longshot!!! thanks, barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
