saschaw Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 ...unusual combination of the Friedrich-August-Medal of with the Austrian War Medal. Very unusual! Good you now show it here, too, after we discussed it yet on German SDA forum. Maybe someone here has an idea?! My best guesses were the following two: A born Saxon who went to war with Austria as a mercenary (totally not unusual in mid 19th century), or a native Austrian who later went to live in the kingdom of Saxony. Due to precence and bar style I don't think this would have been worn by a Austrian in Austria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komtur Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Wow.... He was commanding my wife's great grandfather (Lt. D. Res.) when he was wounded!!! So it may be of interest for you, that he had English roots: His grandfather was Hugh Halkett, his granduncle Colin Halkett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
