Thank you for these additional details about Marquis Georgii Fedorovitch degli Albizzi, who seems to be one of those quirks of Military History which make our hobby so interesting!

Hello I am looking for a Family member who was a recipient of Cross of Saint George, His Name is Seraphim Pavlovich.

Below is all the information I know about him.  Any information on him or places to look would be greatly appreciated. 

 Seraphim Pavlovich  was in the white army, twice decorated war hero, bearing the Cross of Saint George, the highest decoration for courage! He was in Admiral Kolchak's unit. He survived Sachsenhausen after his arrest during WWII.

Hello!

Was "Pavlovich" his surname or middle-name?

I suspect the person of interest is Seraphim Pavlovich Rozhdestvensky (1903 - 1992). If this is the case, there is a ton of information on him on the net. On the photo he is in the center in black suite next to the priest.

Hello.
This is a great topic.
I was wandering if there is any info on how many women have received the Cross?
I know about the Nadezhda Andreyevna Durova (Наде́жда Андре́евна Ду́рова). But does anybody know how many women in total? Where could I get that info?
Thanks so much.

Hello!

I come back with this question. Any idea?

 

Hello!

Who can find for me the recipient of the St George Cross for Prussians (Kulm) n° 2476?

This cross can be seen here:

Many thanks.

Hi!

 

I am trying to confirm some of the Swedes that got the russian St George cross in 1813 - but I can't find them.

https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_över_mottagare_av_För_tapperhet_i_fält

 

I found the first book mentioned above online:

https://kp.rusneb.ru/item/reader/v-pamyat-stoletnego-yubileya-voennogo-ordena-svyatogo-velikomuchenika-i-pobedonosca-georgiya-1769-1899-g

 

But I can't find "Anders Fast" in 1813 that should have its last name spelled as "Фаст" in russian. Is the book mentioned above about the order of St. George or about the cross of St. George?

 

 

Regards,

Stefan

You have two choices

 

First will be this book

 

Григорович Н.И., Степанов В.С.
В память столетнего юбилея Военного ордена Святого Георгия
Типография Скарятина В.Д.
1869

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Nick!

 

Do you know of a PDF version of this book? It's so old so I guess the copyright is no longer valid. I would like to OCR-scan it so I can search in it.

 

 

Regards,

Stefan

You will not find him in any lists of St.George order cavaliers since he was awarded (as corporal) with Badge of Distinction of the Military Order of Saint George /known after 1913 as St.George Cross) that was established in the February 1807 decree of Emperor Alexander I as a reward for  lower ranks (soldiers, sailors and NCOs).

Thanks for the info - yes, I started to think it was that way.

Are there any public lists available for those recipients in the Napoleon wars?

Cheers,

Nick, sorry for bothering you again 

Do you have this book?

I found its content list online and there is a chapter with "Alphabetical list of holders of the Order of St. George and the St. George Arms, awarded during the Civil War of 1918-1920" (Google translate from "Алфавитный список кавалеров ордена Св. Георгия и Георгиевского оружия, награжденных в период Гражданской войны 1918-1920 гг.").

 

Could the "St. George Arms" be the cross given to the lower ranks?

 

There were a couple of Swedes that served in the Northwest Army that I would like to see if they are mentioned there. Also an Otto von Knieriem got a cross during the civil war in the Northwest Army - he was in the staff of General Goltz and also later worked in Stockholm during WW2.
