Graf von Schaffgotsch

[Chip]

A friend has a Saxon Husar Attila (H.R.18) coming that has a tailor's label showing it was the property of one Graf von Schaffgotsch. I don't find him in the Ehren=Rangliste and I don't have any Saxon Rang-Liste. Could someone fill me in on any details about this officer that might be available?

Thanks,

Chip

Chip,

presumably Leutnant Franz Graf Schaffgotsch. Commissioned into 1. Husaren-Regiment "König Albert" Nr. 18 with a Patent of 28.11.13. He appears in the 1914 Saxon army list as well as the Ehrenrangliste on page 919 which shows he died as a Leutnant a.D. on 29 September 1924. He was the holder of the Saxon Merit Order Knight's Cross 2nd Class with Swords and the Albrecht Order Knight's Cross 2nd Class with Swords.

Regards

Glenn

His full name was Franz Egon Gotthard Maria Ferdinand Leopold Graf Schaffgotsch. He was wounded in 1918 while serving with 6.Kompanie, Leib-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 100. The other Graf Schaffgotsch in the Ehrenrangliste, who served in the Prussian Leib-Garde-Husaren-Regiment, was his older brother.Hans Ulrich.

I bet he got teased at school!

I suspect he was educated privately

Thanks all. I can't figure out how I missed him in the Ehren-Rangliste. I must have had my glasses off! Appreciate the help.
