Chris Boonzaier Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hi, can anyone confirm how many colors were lost by the Austrians at Magenta in 1859? A period Newspaper article says two. A definate one is that of the Austrian 9th inf captured by the 2. Zouave Regiment Another source mentions the 2 Feldjäger Battalion losing their colors A 3rd source mentions an Infantry color taken by the French but then right away retaken by an 18 year old Austrian Jäger. Any help would be greatly appretiated Thanks Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Hi Chris, I may have found something.. The caption on the print says... ”Presentation to General Mac Mahon of three flags taken from the Austrians at the battle of Magenta” tony (Image is a screenshot so poor as the link didn’t work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
