David M Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hi I am looking for the exact date on an 'early' (as in pre imperial) award of this order to Albrecht v. Roon. It was in 1867, but I would like to know the exact date and maybe the reason why. thanks so much regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 He received the order twice. Commanderkreuz on 18.8.1849, received on 27.10.1849, as Chief of the General Staff of the II.Korps of the Operationsarmee. Großkreuz on 18.10.1867 as General der Infanterie and Kriegsminister. So the Commander's Cross for killing Badeners and the Grand Cross for a career of killing Prussia's enemies. He was Kriegsminister from 1859 to 1873, so the Grand Cross was probably not for anything specific, but more likely a courtesy award for his role in the reconciliation between Baden and Prussia after the 1866 war, in which Baden had been on Austria's side.
