    Hello!

    Franz Wetzel recieved as "chef de bataillon du 2e de ligne" the Order of the Crown of Westphalia (Knight 2d class) (november 9 1812), and the knight cross of the Legion of Honor (march 7 1813). He was also knight of the "Ordre de la Vertu Militaire de Hesse. (see my book: Histoire de distinctions honorifiques du royaume de Westphalie).

    Have a good evening David!
